BRISTOL, Pa, April L. -Four
bodies have been recovered from the
waters Of the Delaware and many
searching parties are dragging for
others hurled into the river late yes
terday when a platform on which they
were viewing the launching of the
cargo carrier Waukau collapsed.
The number of missing is variously
estimated at from twelve to eighteen
Police are experiencing difficulty in
checking up the list of missing, as
some of those on the platform Were
spectators and others workmen of the
Merchant Ship Building yards where
the accident occurred.
The structure, known as the patrol
bridge, gave way under the weight OF
more than two score men. Twenty
eight living persons were taken from
the river soon after.
The Waukau hid the patrol bridge
from view of many spectators gath
cred to witness the launching and sew
eral minutes elapsed before they
learned of the disaster Meanwhile
the vessel was launched on time
Police believed the suction of the
$500 ton ship as. it struck the water
may have drawn some Of the bodies
far into the channel. Police launches
are dragging the river between Phil
adelphia and Trenton.

, army to Warsaw by some other route
than Danzig Anti-Polish demonstra-
lions have occurred in Berlin, Wei
mar .Breslau and Danzig.
The old threat of bolshev1sm is re-
iterated. many conservative leaders
declaring that if the government gives
in to the allies new radical uprls-
ing may be precipitated.
The German armistice commission
has suggested that the Polish troops
land at Stettin, Libau or koenigsberg
instead of Danzig. The situation IN
the latter city is said to be critical,
owing to the antipathy, between the
German and Polish residents. The
Germans there declare they will re-
sist every effort to make Danzlg
Polish. Americans returning from
Danzig report the Polish element is
prepared to revolt and declare the
city Polish as soon as General Hal
ler.s troops land.
Reports from various sources agree
! it is impossible to assure the Poles
quiet passage through Danzig so
long as both elements are at swords
points. The Germans anticipate the
trouble will lead to actual warfare
with Poland If the Poles attempt to
seize the port.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has
spent the last week personally in
speeding the Polish front. His army
probably totals 10000. 1t is greatly
outnumbered by the Poles, but the
Germans are believed to be more ef-
fective in actual fighting. owing to
their superior equipment and greater
experience.
