! Who Gave. His Life in France,
IL think that shall never see
| A poem lovely as a tree.
! A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast.
! A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms, to pray;
"A tree that may in summer wear
A nest Of robins In her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
1.-THE Tree is the poem which in
spired the plan, which is becoming
nation wide, OF planting memorial

cussess New Terms for Pro-
longing Armistice, Which
Expires On Jan. IL.

Paris, Jan 1.-THE first actual ses-
sion of the peace congress is being
held, although it is officially desig-
mated as one of the series of conversa-
tions for laying the groundwork for
the structure which will later be pre-
sented to the formal assembly of the

These conversations will take up de.
tails of the program to be carried out
what subjects will be considered at
the meetings, the roles of expert ad-
visers and the order in which various
matters will be considered
The meeting was chiefly interesting
in its personal aspects-the bringing
together for the first time in contact
of the worlds best known statesmen,
who now are the guiding figures of
the congress. The scene as they
assembled was one of unusual activity.
Marshal Foch was the first of the
high 1>plenipotentiaries to arrive, and
finding himself in the van of the dele
gates, waited in the vestibule.
Soon after Foch came Robert Lam
accompanied by his military aide, who
was followed by Mr.. Frazer, counsel
lor of the American embassy, who is
now attached TO the person Of Colonel
House
Crested "Vive Wilson,"
President Wilson's limousine swung
up to the entrance. The President
was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, and
was greeted with "Vive Wilson" With
the President and his wife was Ad-
miral Grayson. the Presidents physi-
~cian
AS Mr.. Wilson entered the vestibule
of the foreign Office Stephen Pichon,
the French foreign minister, stepped
forward to greet him and escort him
into his private Office where the con
ference was held.
M. Clemenceau, the French prime
minister, followed. Signor Orlando,
the Italian premier, came soon after
ward, accompanied by Signor Sonnino

Lloyd George Is Last.
The last to arrive was David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister
and Arthur ]. Balfour, the British for
eign secretary, who motored up to-
gether. Military aides followed the
British commissioner carrying large
dispatch case.
The meeting was an extended one

Rear End Collision Occurs on
New York Central at South
Byron, N. Y.
THREE BADLY INJURED
Condition of the Bodies and Absence
of Clothing Renders Task of
Identifying the Dead Slow
and Difficult.

Batavia, N. Y, Jan. 14.-In a rear
end collision on the New York Central
railroad at South Byron, six miles
east of here, II persons were killed
and three seriously injured. Both
trains were westbound and were run
ming behind their schedules.
Train No. II, known as the South
Western Limited, ran into the rear OF
Train No. II, the Wolverine, while the
latter was at standstill preparatory
to taking on a second engine for the
run up to steep grade between South
Batavia and South Byron.
Many Dead Still Unidentified.
Only a few of the 21 dead have been
identified, the condition of the bodies
and the absence of clothing making
Identification slow and difficult All OF
the fatalities occurred in the last car
of the Wolverine
The rear Pullman, steel car, was
reduced to complete wreckage. When
the engine hit, the upper part of the
second coach from the end on the
standing train was torn from its
trucks. and lifting slightly, smashed
. directly through the center of the rear
coach for its entire length, sweeping
the berths and seats into a compact
pile.
Victims Were Asleep.
Not a sleeping passenger in the cal
escaped death or serious injury.
There appears to be some conflict
between the statements of railroad
officials and Engineer John Friedley
Of the Southwestern as to the respon
sibility for the disaster. The railroad
officials say that the rear of the stand
ing Wolverine was protected by the
block system and that, in addition, 9
fiagman was sent back along the
tracks.
Engineer Friedley says the BLOCK
was clean when his train entered it
Fireman Brill backs him up in this
claim. Friedley says that the first
danger sign he observed was a rec
light between the rails on which his
train was travelling. This light, he
says, was only a few car lengths be
hind the Wolverine, leaving him ar
insufficient distance to scheck the
speed of his train.
Engine Broke From Train.
When he threw on the emergency
brake, Friedley said, the engine ant
tender broke away from the train
Freed from the drag of the cars, its
momentum almost seemed to make i
leap forward, he said, and then came
the crash. Neither Engineer Friedle!
nor Fireman Brill was injured.
