POISON GAS SILL
DOES DEADLY WORK
Passengers in German Coaches
Handed Over to France Suffer
From Fumes.
A despatch from Paris says: ---Two
prailway 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. 47, bound for Metz, had
just entered the tunnel at Nanteuil
when the passengers occupying the
two coaches handed over by Germany
began to experience trouble in
breathing and strong obnoxious gases
began to flI up the coaches.
The passengers smashed the win-
dows, but as soon as fresh air ca.nie
in contact with the gases the coaches
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 the 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
in the coaches was not due to any
defect in the lighting or heating ap-
ga-Ilius, nor to a hot -box. The pres-
ence of the obnoxious gases is still
unexplained. Both coaches were con-
sumed by the flames."

CANADIAN VILLAGES

Proposal to Distribute Captured
War Trophies Throughout
Dominion.
A die apatch from Ottawa 4:e;, s: --
The Commission on Canadian War
Records and Trophies have Made • a
reports to the Government which con-
tained recommencla'tions as to -the col-
lection and handling of trophia•r cap-
tweed by the Canadians during time•
ww'a r.
crT.be ,trophies captured by Cana-
dians form a most interesting and
practically an invaluable collection,"
said General Cruikshank "They
include practically eve eyth ing
from huge German guns of the heav-
iest type to badges and records. Some
of these trophies have already reach-
ed Ottawa and are stored here. There
will be several shiploads in all, judg-
ing from the information we have re-
ceived 'so far."
"What disposition will be matte of
them?" •
"Sufficient will be reserved to make
an adequate and representative die -
play in the• Imperial War Museum
to be established in London. I should
then say that of the articles brought
to Canada, a complete collection
should be retained in the war museum
to be established in Ottawa. It is not
expected that the trophies will be ex-
hausted by the collections in Ottawa
and London. On the contrary, there
will be enough left to give practically
every city, town and village in the
country a war souvenir of some sort.
Applications for these have already
been received from hundreds of towns
and the requests run the entire range.
How these will be -dealt with has not
been decided, but it is understood the
commission will recommend that an
advisory committee with one member
from each province shall- be appointed
to pass upon the applications, and the
provincial representative's recommen-
dation will be taken as to the distri-
bution of the trophies." •

troops came into Germany there have
been only 11 deaths, due to sickness,
mostly pneumonia,. following in-
fluenza.
The bodies of Canadians who have
died in Germany are buried in Bonn in
a special plot set apart for Canadians.
Arrangements are now completed to
locate the grave of every C'aradian
who has died as a prisoner of war in
the territory on both sides of the
Rhine occupied by the corps and the
other British force::•, As soon as this
is done the remnaius of the deceased
soldiers will be exhumed and re -
interred by Canadian chaplains in the
cemetery in Boon.
Eventually that littl, hallowed spot
will be enclosed with maple trees, so
that the national emblem of Conada
will etatmdl as monuments to the hon-
ored dead.
