Meaux special investigators are
interviewing railway employees and
members of the crews of the two
trains-the Paris-Strasbourg ex-
press and the Paris-Nancy train,
which were in collision.
All France mourned the dis
aster, the second worst train
wreck in history, and Christmas
celebrations everywhere were sad
dened. President LeBrun de-
clared a national period of mourn
ing, and the light of all municipal
Christmas trees were ordered ex-
tinguiShed.
Fog and faulty signals were
tentatively blamed for the dis
astrous accident, which occurred
when the fast PariS-Strasbourg
express, speeding at IS miles per
hour, plowed into the rear Of a
Paris-Nancy train, composed al
most solely of wooden coaches:
Victims Include N0tableS
The victims, which included
two members of the Chamber of
Deputies, many other prominent
officials, and scores of students,
were vacation-bound for the
Christmas holidays.
The preliminary part Of the
inquiry consisted of questioning
surviving passengers and men,
bers of the train crew.
The only more disastrous train
wreck on record is that which
occurred at Gretna Green, in
1915, 227 persons being killed.
Six Coaches TelescOped
The scene of the Lagny wreck
was horrible. Six Of the wooden
coaches of the slower train, which
was stopped, were telescoped by
the speeding express. School books
and Christmas gifts in bright
packages were Uttered among the
wreckage. The cries of the in
jured were pitiful. There were
many heroes among the reScuers,
any many individual tragedies,
such as mothers and children be-
ing parted by death.

CHICAGO BARES
EARL|ERPLOT
ONPRELATE
Archbishop Marked for Death
at Worlds Fair, But
Riot FoiIed Plan

CHICAGO, Dec. Is G.N.S0
The Rev Vahan K. Guldalian
pastor of the Armenian Apostolic
Church, today charged that the
dramatic assassination of Arch
bishop Leon Tourian in New York
was the elimination Of a con
spiracy that had its inception
here.
The prelate was to have been
murdered here at the Worlds
Fair last July /, when Armenian
day was being celebrated at the
exposition, but the prompt ar
rival of police frustrated the plot
according to the Rev. Guldalian
Free-for-All Riot Staged
A free-for-all riot ensued at the
celebration, and in the belief Of
the Armenian pastor, the dis,
turbance was to have cloaked the
actual assassination. Police ar
rived at the first outbreak and
quelled the rioters.
Controversy over whether the
tri-color flag of old Armenia OF
the banner Of Soviet Russia
should be flown over the platform
from which the New York prelate
was to speak caused the small
riot.
Sympathizers for the inde-
pendence cause had raised the
tri-color, although the commit
tee which had planned the Ar
menian Day, to avoid dangerous
controversy. had ruled that only
the American flag be flown.
Refused to Make Speech
Recognizing the danger Of an
outbreak, Archbishop Tourian
refused to take the platform
until the flag was lowered. AS
the tricolor was being hauled
down, the fighting began. The
Archbishop's attempt to placate
the demonstration brought only
fresh outbursts of violence.
Prompt arrival Of police re-
serves apparently prevented the
assassination at that time, the
Rev. Guldalion declared. Lower
ing of the flag was to have been
the signal for the killing, he
said.

entious objectors who evaded or

which declared:
During the World War,
large number Of persons were
convicted under the espionage
act and the selectiVe service act
of giving utterance to sentiment
adverse to the prosecution Of
the war and to the enforcement
of the draft. They have paid
the penalty that the law i'm
posed on them. The emergency
that made it necessary to pun
ish them has long expired. Fit"
teen years have elapsed since
the end of the war.
Accordingly have issued .
Christmas amnesty proclamation

such wartime OffenSes and who
have complied with the sentence
imposed on them. The effect Of

age act, or of conspiracy to viO-
late the same; or Of a conspiracy

tive service act; provided, that
they carried but the terms Of
the sentences which the courts
inflicted. The former statute re-
lates to the publication of Sedi-
tiOus literature and the making
of seditiOus speeches; the lat
ter provision covers conspiracy.

enforcement Of the draft.
"The proclamation expressly
provides that the pardon does
not extend to any other Offenses
than those specifically enum-
Grated whether committed be-
fore or after such OffenSeS."

WARNING SIGNS
TEST HELD

S-I-O-P!
If this word, imprinted in six
inch black letters on a yellow
background, were suddenly to
loom up 200 feet away as you
rounded curve in your car, could
you read it in less than one Sec
ond?
The Bureau of Public Roads
and the Bureau Of Standards,
which collaborated in scientific
tests to standardize road signs
for nationwide use and discover
what kinds were most easily and
quickly read by drivers, say that
you could, inasmuch as 80 to 100
per cent Of those persons tested
deciphered it in eight-tenths Of a
second, less than the allowed
time by almost two-tenths Of a
second.
The tests, which were made at
all seasons of the year and under
varying weather conditions, dis
closed the fact that Federal Vel
low which closely approaches a
lemon hue, will arrest the eye
quicker than any other color and
is also the most outstanding
against all natural and artificial
backgrounds.
It has been suggested by the
bureaus that this color be declared
illegal for use in roadside adver-
tising or any signs except official
warnings, making doubly sure
that motorists would at once re-
cognize it as a warning.
