Weather Conditions.

Frequently as an accompaniment of
such accidents there are unfavorable
weather conditions such as foE, an
obstructed view Of signals, insufi-
oient braking distance between sig
nails, or excessive speed, but at Ivan
hoe none Of these conditions existed;
on the contrary. everything was ia
vorable for the second train to stop
except the one failure that no signal
system can guard against. namely.
the failure of the man."
The report adds: while 1t 10 true
that automatic train control devices
cannot be expected to perform all
their functions with 100 per cent eff
cheney In the early stages Of develop
mant, they cannot be perfected un-
less put into use on moro than an ex-
peYimentai scale and the weak points

a. has been the case with other sig
nal devices. 1t is the duty of rail-
roads to surround their passengers
with every known safeguard. even
though some Of the devices may be
called. upon to act very infreauently."

Italy Warned To
Speed Relief

WASHINGTON, March Italy
has been warned by the American
gvernment that unless she puts an
end to delays in movements OF re-
lief supplies to the newly established
|--Jugo-Slavic and Czecho-Slavic
states. steps will be taken to cut off
the flow of American foodstuffs to
Italy.
II was stated today in an authorita-
tive quarter that the Italian govern
ment has caused intolerable condition
by the blockade she has imposed
against the Jugo Slavic countries, and
which operates also against the
Cdecho Slovaks The blockade has
not been wholly effective, but many
delays have been caused, resulting
often in holding up supplies. the need
of which was desperate.
Reports from Paris of the exist
ence of chaotic conditions because of
the blockade have not been confirm
ed here, but it is known that much
unnecessary suffering has been caus-
ed. directly attributable to the stand
taken by Italy. News from Paris that
representatives Of Great Britain and
France we're outspoken in their con-
domination of the attitude OF Italy,
had been cabled to the United States
but the action Of the American gov
eminent in sending its warning to
Italy was taken before that news
came. ~, $50
No reply has yet been made By
the Italian government.
