PARIS, Sept. 23.--(Dy Mail to New

bridge across the Marine on Sept. 20.

nearly 500 wounded men were drown

The utmost secrecy has surrounded

this accident. | have been able to OBJ.
tain the following main facts:
The train consisted OF Is cars. each
carrying 80 wounded men. Many OF
these men had lain on battlefields
without attention Of any sort for from
one TO two days, and were congratu-
lating themselves on the fact that they
had been rescued and were on the
way back to the comfortable big hos
pitfalls In Paris.
On the rear Of the train, as II de-
parted from Meaux. In the early even.
ing, was attached car full Of Ger.
man prisoners
Before reaching tho Marne. the en-
gineer. who had never before operated
On engine on the line, was given or
ders to stop at red light which he
would find. A switchman who misun-
derstood his instructions sent the
train on the wrong track. and the
light which was the stopping signal
was not seen by the engineer. In
stead he saw ahead OF him another
red light which had been placed at O
gap In the bridge over the river. He
ran up to this light. and. to his horror,
the bridge beams began to break un-
der the engine. Then the coupling
broke behind him. The engine had
reached a solid part CT the bridge. but
the other cars. with the exception OF
the rear car. which contained the Ger.
mans, had piled into the river with
their load Of wounded men.
. Soldiers were summoned from both
: sides Of the river. Only 100 men were
taken from the wreckage alive
Though no public statement has been
made, the reports Indicate that about
500 wounded men, many Of them too
weak TO struggle for their lives. were
drowned like rats Ia their trap-like
compartments. The dead we're buried
