POISON GAS STILL
DOES DEADLY WORK
Passengers in German Coaches
Handed Over to France Suffer
From Fontes.
A despatch from Paris says: -Two
railway coaches, recently handed over
to France by Germany, played a most
important part in a puzzling •accident
on the Paris -Metz railway line on
Wednesday- night in which five per-
sons lost their lives. Sixteen persons
were injured.
Train No. 97, bound far Metz, had
just entered the tunnel at Nanteoil
When the passengers occupying the
two coaches handed over by Germany
began to ezperienee trouble in
breathing and strong obnoxious gases
began to fill up the coaches.
The passengers smashed the win -
dews, but .as soon as fresh air came
in contact with the gases the teaches
became a mass of fire. The passen-
gers, in terror, fled to the tracks in
the dark tunnel. A train going in the
opposite direction crashed into them
and five were killed.
Of ;bile 16 injured, all of whom were
treated at the hospital at Chateau
Thierry, eight suffered only from the
effects of asphyxiating gas.
An official statement given out by
the railroad company says: "The fire
im the coaches was not due to any
defect in the lighting or heating ap-
paratus. nor to a hot -box. The pres-
ence of the obnoxious gases is still
unexplained. Both coaches were con-
sumed by the flames."

DIRECT COST OF THE WAR
PLACED AT 3500,000,000,000
A despatch from ondon says:
The direct cost of the war is
estimated at £40,000,000,000 in a
special article in the Daily Tele-
graph. The author estimates
the indirect cost of diminished trade
and financial disturbance at £60,000,-
000, "Vast sums," he says, "have
been used for sheer destruction and
vast public debts have been incurred
for which there is no corresponding
property.''

Under the heading, "From Clyde to

ces that this widely known ship-
building firm intends to diminish its
output aft the works in Scotstown, near
Glasgow, and to increase the produc-
tion'of its smaller works at Van-
couver. The main impelling reason
appears to be the incessant labor
troubles.

will not be affected by the existence
of the Society of Nations, now in
process of formation, it was declared
by Arthur'J. Balfour to newspaper
interviewers here. The British For,,
eign Secretary was asked the direct
question as to whether the formation
of the world society would involve
the abolition of alliances.
"Theconstitution of the League_ of
Nations," responded the Foreign Sec-
retary, "will involve no modification
of the treaties, of alliance previously
concluded.
"As to the queston whether special
coalitions of two or several peoples
could be formed aside from the lea-
gue," Mr. Balfour added, "the confer-
ence alone can decide."

A despatch from Paris says: -A

ceived subventions from Great Bri-
tain for, taking part in the war. It
was stated that any payments made
to the King of the Hedjan by the allies
were purely for military purposes in
order to sustain the King's power,
Which had a great part in the over-
throw of the Turks and also in the
defeat of the German troops. The
financial arrangements, the statement
said, did not contain any emoluments
for this King of the Hedeas or his son,
Palmate Feisal.

Only one orderly 'accompanied the
quiet, grey man No glittering staff
of officers, no entourage of gold -laced
aides were with him; nobody but just
the orderly.
Evans paid small attention at first
to the grey man, but was curious to
see him kneel in the cheirch, praying.
The minutes passed until full three-
quarters of an hour had gone ley be-
fore grey man arose from his

Then Evans followed him down the
street, and was surprised to see sol-
diers salute this man in great excite -
motet, and women end children stop-
ping in their tracks with awestruck
faces as he passed.
It was Foch. And now Evans, of
San Bernardino, counts the experience
as bhe greatest in his life.
During.. the 'three-quarters of an
hour that the generalissimo of all the
Allied armies was on his knees lin
humble supplication in that quiet
church, ten thousand guns were roar-
ing at his word on a hundred chills that
rocked with death.
Millions of armed men crouched in
trenches or rushed aeross blood -
drenched earth at his command; gen-
arab and field marshals, artillery,
cavalry, engineers, tanks, fought and
wrought across the snap of Europe ab-
solutely as he commanded them to do,
and in no other manner•, as he went
into that little church to pray.
Nor was it an unusual thing for
General' Foch to do. There is no day
that he does not do the sane thing
if there be a church that he can reach.
He never fails to spend an hour on
his knees every motoring that he
awakes from sleep, and every night
itis the some.
Moreover, it is not a new thing with
him. Ile hers done it his whole life.
