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."

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." • CANADIAN GRAVES IN GERMANY 01111...0111 • Cemetery at Bonn to be Planted With Maple Trees.
