TWENTY-ONE PERSONS
KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK
THIRTEEN BODIES REMAIN
UNIDENTIFIED.
Railroad Officials Endeavor to
Explain Cause Of Fatal
Wreck.

Batavia, N. Y, Jan. 1S.--Officials OF
the New York Central railroad today
were continuing their investigation OF
the wreck at South Byron yesterday
in which twenty-one persons were
killed, and attempts were renewed to
identify the thirteen bodies still un-
known. the identified dead were
from New York or nearby states.
Railroad officers. who had spent
Sunday investigating conflicting state
sments regarding the collision OF the
Southwestern limited with the rear
sleepers on the Wolverine limited. this
morning declared they could see no
explanation of the cause of the wreck.
John Friedley, of Buffalo, engineer
of the Southwestern, maintained that
no block signal was set against his
train and that he saw no warning
light until he was within a few car
lengths of the Wolverine, which had
stopped to take on an extra engine
for steep grade. In his statement he
was supported by his fireman.
J. r. Dinan, superintendent OF the
Western division, declared he could
not explain the accident. 1.-The flag
man" he said. claims he went about
twenty-five car lengths to the rear
of his train to signal the second
train. Torpedoes were also put on the
track. The statement of Engineer
Friedley differs materially from that
of the fiagman. He admits. however,
the signals were set at danger when
he went to look at them after the
accident"
Superintendent Ereritt, of Syracuse.
said Engineer Friedley was ''one of
our mest reliable employees. man who
had been running passenger trains for
twenty years. The night was clear,
Mr.. Everitt added, and the engineer
should have been able to see for
mile.

in the wreck are in the Batavia hos

were the only ones to escape alive
from the last sleeping car on the VOL

coach from the end. which had buck
led under the tremendous impact. One
Of the remarkable features Of the
wreck was the fact that none OF the
passengers in the second coach was
injured. The rear end OF the car was
lifted high in the air and dropped
through the roof of the last car.

Loyal troops have carried by storm

the Kreuz Zeitung Is printed. This
building is in the vicinity of the one

patton of it by the boishevists had
rendered the whole quarter unsafe.
Many citizens were killed and
wounded recently by shots fired from
the windows of this building.
The capture Of the Vorwaerts
building was carried out by approx
mately 500 loyal troops. They first
destroyed an entrenchment in front
of the building, consisting OF rolls OF
printing paper behind which two ma
chine guns had been installed. Two
shots from a mine thrower swept
away the whole fortification, with the
gun crew.
The Spartacans sent a white flag
forward, but were told nothing but
unconditional surrender would be
considered. Two mine throwers and
two field guns then began a syste-
matte bombardment and soldiers
worked their way forward, with ma
chine guns and finally stormed the
building. They met with little re-
sistance inside, the defenders being
mostly civilians, including some Rus
slams.
The courtyard was filed with dead
and wounded, and 800 prisoners, includ-
ing a number of Russians, were taken.
Among the prisoners was a man UNDER
stood to be the bolshevist agent Ches-
time. Many defenders were buried in
the ruins. The attackers lost three
killed and several wounded. The front
of the building was badly damaged and
part of the plant was wrecked, but the
presses were undamaged
Three thousand loyal troops marched

U. s. CORPS TO POLAND
Paris Temps Says America 10
Ready for Action.

Paris, Sunday. Jan. Ia
America has informed the al
lied governments, according to
the Temps, that it is ready to
send an American expedition
ary corps to Poland. This force,
the newspaper states, would
be able to "at least double the
support given by two Polish
divisions to be sent from the
western front and enable the
Poles to victoriously resist the
bolshevists."
In discussing today's meet
ing of the supreme inter-allied
council the Temps says that
while the conditions to be laid
down for the renewal of the
armistice between the allies
and Germany were the subject
of most of the discussion, the
sending of military assistance
to Poland was also taken up.
In an editorial on this sub
ject the newspaper says it con-
siders it indispensable that
the two Polish divisions now in
France should be sent to Po-
land and be supported by a
certain number of allied de-
tachments which would be able
to occupy the railroad from
Danzig to Thorn. thus main

Premier Lloyd George on the French
statesman's left. Secretary Lansing
sat alongside of Baron Sonnino; M.
Pichon and Premier Orlando sat to-
gether and Mr.. Balfour and Mr.. Fra
zier were side by side. Many of the
delegates were smoking, although
the attendants had prohibited smok-

f Looking Fierce.
Atl6:30 o'clock, Premier Clemeneeau,
looking very fierce with his bristling
mustache, staIked from the room,
waving aside couple Of PHOTOGRAPH

stepped out. while the flashlights
went off with bang in utter disre-
gard for the historic tapestries. Sec
retary Lansing followed and while he
tarried a moment, another salvo was
fired by the photographers.
Premier Lloyd George escaped being
snapped in the red room, but was
caught in the ante room. The limou-
sines flashed from the courtyard amidst
the cheers of few people who had
waited throughout the session.
When President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing left the foreign minis
ter they had no smiles for the on
lockers and it was evident that they
were determined not to compromise
the demands they believe the people
of the United States approve.
Light on Happenings.
It is believed that President Wilson
told the congress it would be a good
idea to throw light on all Of the hap
penings of the sessions, and 1t is
possible that the president may make
a point of insisting upon this.
\ Following the meeting Sunday, Pres
ident Wilson went to the Y. NJ &. A.
where he heard Bishop Brent, senior
bishop of the American expeditionary
forces, and former bishop of the Phil
ippines deliver an address.

REGULAR OFFICERS RANK.
Their Status After Army pemobillzes
Problem Awaiting Action BY

Congress.
Washington, Jan. 13.-The following
statement has been issued by the Sec
retary of war:
'The problem presented by tempo
ary rank of army officers is one which
will, of course, have to be dealt with.
The war department has not yet un-
6ertaken to suggest what it thinks
wisest about it. We have an anomal-
Gus situation; a very large number OF
men in the regular army have been
promoted from lieutenants to captains,
and captains to colonels, and so forth,
and after a man has been doing duty
with troops in war as a colonel 1t Is
pretty hard to revert back to lower
rank
''The problem OF how to stabilize
rank is a serious one and one that can
not be solved until congress decides
what to do about the bill for the army.
II congress provides for an army OF
half million men land all members l
have talked with seem to be favorable)
that would provide a much larger
number of places for colonies, majors,
captains, etc. So far as know. II will
take care of all the regular army men.
"An effort will be made to- use all
the present permanent officers and
then fill in with those officers best
qualified who are now in the temporary
army and have signified their desire
to stay in the military establishment.
