 FOgRy Vision
 The collisions occurred in . fog and Pennsylvania railroad officials. although uncertain of the cause, be- lieved that Engineer Sweating had failed to see two signals, set to show that the freight train was ahead of him.
 Passengers in the coaches and Pullmans broke window panes and scrambled to freedom. None was seriously hurt.
 Seriously Scalded
 The double wreck tore up more than 150 yards of track.
 Many wealthy New Workers were reported as passengers of the Wash- ington express en route to Florida resorts. Fritz kreisle. concert violin ist, and Dr. Henry Vandyke, Prince ton university. were passengers on the express. They were unhurt. Kreisler was scheduled to appear in concert in Washington. Dr. Nandyke was en route to Baltimore where he was to speak at a testimonial dinner to pr. A. H. Welch. of Johns Hop kns.
 Passengers of both trains were brought to Baltimore on relief trains. The most of them were suffering from shock.
 For some time following the crash communication was impossible be- cause telegraph and telephone poles had been torn down. Trainmen went about in the heavy fog reuniting families that had been separated and searching the cars for persons who in the excitement were thought to be trapped.

Shaw Delivers Typical
 Answer to Criticism

Bethuen, Mass, Jan. IS (UP)--An address delivered here last Novem- Der by John Spargo, former social ist leader. in which he said. Shaw has not had a new idea since 1sS0," has brought typical response from George Bernard Shaw.
 A postal card, received by the Rev. Egbert W. A. Jenkinson. pas tor of the First Congregational church, carried this message:
 Funny notion of Spargo's that revelation began after 1890 with hia discovery that his socialism was al! wrong. No doubt it was. but l did not fix 1t up for him. If ] had he would have found it an honest and durable article.
 He should read my books when he wakes up at four in the morning and feels bad about his past.

FOCH FOUND TO BE STRONGER TODAY
Continued from First Page)

My trouble is certainly not worth so much sympathy
 Foch Surprised
 What surprised the marshal as greatly as anything else was the enormous sympathy from America which has been amply revealed dur ing his illness." continued the doc- tor.
 Today a distinct air of optimism. revealed by the three doctors after their morning consultation. prevailed the entire household. The cook who went out of the gate yesterday in utter silence with her head bowed to buy bread and vegetables. had . joke with the policeman on guard as she went to market this afternoon.
 The calmness and good humor of Marshal Foch are much appreciated by his doctors and are the subject of a sickroom story. which. whether true or not, reflects his disposition. Written Order When the doctors first called he was suffering SO much it was diffi- cult for him to speak. When treat ment was decided upon the marshal motioned for 8 pencil and paper and wrote:
 T don't want any of your medi- cines."
 The physicians protested and ar- gued. Then Foch wrote:
 Every we'll, if that's the case. will. but demand written order"
 Professor Laubry gave the mar shal a thorough examination today, which he said reassured him.
 Heart Sound
 "The heart is sound" Professor Laubry said. There is nothing to fear from that
 Rumors that the marshal was to undergo an operation were denied by M. Laubry. who said: There has not been and there is no question of operating on the marshal, whose ill., ness must follow a normal course without a surgeons intervention"
 The night passed without incl dent. The Foch house was plunged in darkness except for dim light in the window of the room in which the marshal slept while a nurse, the only person awake in the house. watched over him. The policemen posted at the door to ensure an un- troubled rest for the patient had nothing to do but to try and keep themselves warm.
 Slow Down
 Automobiles and buses passing Rue De Grenelle, where the Foch home is. spontaneously slowed down a good distance from the Foch man. sion They carefully abstained from using their horns so as not to dis turb the illustrious patient.
 Americans in Paris have been sur prised at the meager details of the illness of the marshal in the French newspapers. The brevity in the no' tices was understood to be 1T deference to the desires of Madame Foch and the marshars family. wht feared that too much publicity might have bad effect on the mar shal. So far they have been able tt keep newspapers from him. but. 1T view of his insistence. they will b. obliged to yield to his desire soone' or later or their persistence will de feat it's own object. The marshal who is noted for his astuteness. ha all his wits about him and would rapidly guess why he was deprived of his newspapers and becom , alarmed.
