smashes in thc history of this division.
Tho freight train of sixty cnrstwus
speeding eastwnrd. and as the engineer
whistled for the St. Davids station, the
second car nnd engine separated from
the long, heavy train. .
Almost immediately the first car or
tho englneless train buckled and leaped
the rails, hurdling across No. 3 track.
a rinnfonlno- pmir followed, as twenty-
nine box cars and heavy steel tankers
smashed together. The weight of the
long train sent tlio wild cars plow ng
into the wreckage. They leaped high
in the air, swerving to tne ngni ami
left. The other cars remained on the
track. , , ,
Telephone nnd telegraph poles wcro
smashed in two. Hails were torn up
for a distance, of more than 100 yards.

to that which marked the federal

France Breaks With U. S.
On Treaty Enforcement
Hopes to Force England and Italy to Support
Her by Seizure of German Cities
on Rhine
Hy CLINTON V. GILBERT
Muff Correspondent of III KTrnlnr Public fodcrr
that thc Germans should be permitted
to police the Ruhr.
In n sense the United States started
the practice of deciding the treaty issues
Inillviilniillv nml mnkliiL' nubile its de
cision without first finding out whether
its view was acceptable to the Allies.
It did so In letting the world know thn(t
It saw no objection to Kbcrt's troops
entering the Ruhr rcgidn in spite of
the treaty's prohibitions.
France, in announcing its intention
to take possession of four Gcrmuu cities,
has merely followed our lend.
Thc incident cannot fall to have n
bail effect upon our tclatlons with
France, which hn,ve been steadily drift
ing to worse through President Wilson's
failure to deliver to France the guar
antees which lie promised her, his re
cent sharp criticism of France for mili
tarism, and Ills steady drift toward a
pro-German rather than u pro-French
position with regard to an enforcement
of the treaty.
England and Italy have only been a
step behind the United States in this
tendency, and if a liberal labor govern
ment should come in Fnglnnd. France
would be badly isolated. Shu has evi
dently determined to strike now before
all her late allies become committed to
the relaxation of the treaty, counting
upon forcing Fnglnnd and Italy to stand
in support of her.
Allies Not in Harmony
The situation in Europe is full of
danger. The Allies nro no longer work
ing in harmony. The League of Nations
is not functioning. France is pursuing
u purely nationalistic aim of assuring
herself ugalnst attack from the Rhine,
which would have been her policy if Mr.
Wilson hod uot gone to Paris nnd per
suaded France to trade a fortified Rhine
FRENCH TO OCCUPY
4 RHINELAND CITIES
IN COERCION POLICY
Washington, April 5. Frnncc's do-1
cislon to advance her troops'nnd occupy
German cities of Frnnkfort. Darmstadt.
Hamburg und Hainan marks her final
break with this country on enforcing the
treaty. England must now choose
whether she will stand with France or
not.
Thc treaty had been slowly breaking
down. The Allies had yielded to Ger
many on the trial of the war guilty.
The United States had allowed to be
made public her view that the Allies
should not stand upon n strict enforce
ment of the terms of the treaty barring
German troops from the Ruhr valley.
English newspapers nre full of declara
tions that the treaty is being revised
nnd will be further revised. Thetippo
sltion to Lloyd George led by Asquith
nnd the labor chiefs Is all in favor of
a revision of the treaty.
Under these clrniinstnnccs Germany
wns jircssed for a further moderation of
its terms ami any Herman government
is likely to stand or fall by Its ability
to force chances in it. To have entered
the Ruhr valley with troops would have
been another evidence to Germans that
the present government wns aggressive
in bringing about modifications.
In these circumstances the French
hnve elected to face the issue and Iinvc
the question settled whether or not the
Allies will stand with her iu enforcing
thc trenty.
