27 HURT IN CRASH
|. OF CITY BUS AND
BROOKLYN TROLLEY
Two Women Among Injured
in Second FlatbuSh Accident
in Fourteen Hours.

Twenty-sevcn passengers, two OF
them women, we're severely injured
by a collision between a crowded mu-
nicipal motor bus and a Fatbush
Avenue trolley car at Flatbush and
Eighth Avenues, Brooklyn. shortly
after s o'clock this morning.
The accident was the second within
fourteen hours. A crowded city owned
bus driven by Mason Gruber Of No.
III South Fourth Street. Brooklyn.
was struck and disabled by q Fiat
bush Avenue street car Mt Atlantic
Avenue in the rush hour last evening.
but none OF the passengers was badly
hurt.
The bus which was wrecked this
morning was crowded 70 its capacity
with thirty passengers. II had Just
turned Into F1atbush Avenue, from
Eighth Avenue bound for Borough
Hall. The chauffeur and owner was
Charles Minnick Of Pittsfield. Mass.
A E1atbush trolley train, a motor
car and a trailer. with Fred Smith,
of No. 1909 st. MARKS Avenue. as
motorman. was moving rapidly down
F1atbush Avenue In the same direc-
tion. Tho head car struck tho omni-
bus obllquely between the forward
and rear wheels and ripped along the
whole side.
The omnibus was smashed 20 pieces.
The roof OF IL was bumped on by the
impact OF the bodies OF the passen-
gers. The vehicle was overturned and
went 20 splinters and the passengers
were scattered along the car tracks
for nifty feet.
All the windows on the side OF tho
first trolley car were broken and the
passengers on both cars were thrown
from their seats and severely Jared,
but the only injuries suffered in tho
cars were caused by flying glass
spllnters.
Assistant District Attorney Gold
stein. under direction of District At
torney Lewis, started an Investigation
to determine the civil and criminal
responsibility for the accident. The
District Attorney said that II was pos
stible that the municipal authorities
who permitted he buses 10 rim with
out license and without franchise con-
troll might not only be held for pay
ment OF damages TO the victims OF the
wreck. but might also be held orim-
inhlly responsible for the injuries TO
the passengers.
Smith, motorman OF the troIlSy. and
Minniok. owner and chauffeur OF the
blis, were examined by 0oldstein
Mnnick said he bought the bus on
deferred payments and now owed
81. 700 on the price. When he came
from Pittaield in September he said
he did not know how to operate the
machine and hired a chauffeur for q
time. He asserted he applied TO one
Jack Wehman in Delaney Street on
his arrivai here and had been as
signed 10 n route by Wehmnn, who
told him to pay his own expenses and
keen all his collections.
Minnick said he was moving abou'
four miles an hour at the time OF the
q ccident and that the car was Rotna
thirty miles an hour, Smith reversed
these figures. Mr.. Goldstein ordered
Harold L. Warner, an attorney, out o.
his office for advising Smith TO bt
careful In making statements.
Both men were ordered under ar
! resi- on IA charge Of felonious assault
due 10 criminal negligence.

peace treaty still prevails abroad, as
does the belief that the United States
will virtually underwrite civilization
In the next few years by close eco
nomic partnership in the distribu-
ton of the supplies and raw mateh-
ais needed to start world trade going
and industries booming.
There Is something pathetic in the
way the Ambassadors and Ministers
OF European countries talk OF their
dependence on America. II Is quite
parallel to their expressions in the
days when the United States decided
10 come to the aid OF the Allies and
send an army overseas.
Europe. IL the truth be known. IL
begging America TO come in quick.
while there is time TO save the In
ternational structure. France espe-
oially Is hopeful that America will
not desert her. now that the armies
are demobillzed and there is really
very little physical force to make
Germany do the bidding OF the AL
lies. Economic pressure alone,
meaning thereby a control Of the
commodities, including food. that go
into Germany, can bring the Ger
mans to book. Indeed. that Is what
the League Of Nations was created
for. But the Germans know full well
that tho various commissions. espe-
cially the all important Reparstlons
Commission, cannot begin TO func-
ton until the most powerful member
OF the Associated Powers is repre-
sented. SO long as the United States
plays lone hand and sells her prod
ucts TO Germany and makes her own
deals with German bankers and mer-
chants the Germans will be virtu-
ally independent OF the influence Of
the League OF Nations OF the Allies.
For unless there is a cohesive part
nership between the Allies and the
United States on the one hand. the
moral and physical power Of the
league OF victors TO command from
Germany obedience TO the provisions
of the peace treaty itself IL admit
tedly diminished II not impaired.
Whatever may be the merit OF the
objections that have been raised 10
certain provisions IN the covenant
OF the League, whether reservations
can cover all the objections raised or
not. the biggest fact in international
affairs to-day is the need OF a prompt
ratification OF the peace treaty. Eu-
ropean Governments would have
very little objection TO some OF the
reservations proposed. Others could
be modified to avoid embarrass-
ments. But foreign trade. interna-
tional exchange and business gener-
ally are expected to receive a big
impetus the moment the treaty Il
ratified.
Europe Is straining at the leash.
Reconstruction is not possible with
out adequate funds. Until the part
that America is TO play In world af-
fairs is definitely known. reports in
dicate that European countries will
remain in a state of pitlful stasna-
tion. The hope is that America will
do something by Christmas. The an
swer can be found only in the Amer
lean Senate. There word is still
awaited from the President as to the
extent TO which he will compromise,
