"SUI(lDE SQUAD" STANDS
 OFF ONE GERMAN ATTACK
PhonephofO

LONDON, April 2o.--A story of a suicide squad" cf Norwe egian s, Swedes and Films who repelled a German attack for six hours With an 1894 cannon, was wired by Ex- change Telegraph from Stockholm to the British News Agency today.
 The squad of 135 volunteers, all veterans of the Finnish war, refused to withdraw from Norway's Kongs- yingen fortress when German fire had put all the fortress guns out of action.
 After the Norwegian troops with drew, the Finnish veterans trundled out an ancient 1894 cannon and successfully but hazardously stood off the German attack for six hours. The ancient artillery piece recoiled eighteen feet after every shot and had to be hauled back into position.
 Six hours after the withdrawal of the Norwegian troops, only 35 de- lenders remained, and, 100 men short, the suicide squad" withdrew.

Bodies of Many Victims Badly MangIed-lden-
 tifiCdfion Is Hard

LITTLE FALLS, N. Y, April 20.-- A westbound New York, Chicago and Lake Shore limited New York Central passenger train hurtled from the rails in the Mohawk Valley shortly before midnight last night and killed at least 29 persons and injured more than 100 other pas sengers.
 Nine cars of the 16-car train, which was carrying from 250 to 300 passengers who were mostly asleep, piled up on wide curve as the train was attempting to make up lost time
 Sprung Rail Cause
 Railroaders said it is believed Q sprung rail caused the wreck.
 The locomotive jumped the rails and hit a stone embankment, killing the engineer and fireman.
 The cars crumpled like match wood.
 Passengers were strangely calm dllQ UtiOSC WllO WCiC dOiC AiAhiAN0 lately began rescue work without hysteria in scene of greatest con- fusion and desolation.
 Identification Hard
 Identification of those killed pro- ceeded slowly because the majority were sleeping at the time were in night attire and many of the vic- tims were badly mangled.
 The wreckage is mass of twisted steel and is strewn half mile along the main east and west highway of the Albany Buffalo barge canal.
 Rescuers Work in Rain
 Up to noon today, only Il of the g bodies recovered had been identi- fled as rescuers continued working feverishly in a drizzling cold rain. The railroad officials are inveS- tigating the first passenger train fatality in 13 years.
 It is said the locomotive speed ometer indicated the train was go- ing 59 miles an hour, violation of the regulations for operation around a curve which requires a speed of not more than AS miles an hour.

Lines Reported Drawn, h. diedfing Crucial Con-

TWO WARNINGS GIVEN;
 NAzIS TO N0RWEGIANS
British, French Divisions Arrive on New Fronf-
 Attack Expected
(By Associated Press)

Allied and German troops are pouring into Norway on a large scale as lines are drawn for a heavy battle. All reports indicate a battle of major proportions is now in the making.
 Both the Allies and Germans are making cautious moves.
 British and French troops have landed on the Norwegian coast at Molde, Laerdal and Namsos.
 The Stockholm newspaper Da- gems Nyheter reports that British officers are already at Norwegian headquarters.
 Landings Are Made
 The newspaper also reports that twt British Divisions and one French Division landed safely at Laerdal near the head of Sogne Fjord, 90 miles northeast of Ber- gren and 140 miles northwest of Oslo.
 The strength of the troops land- ing at other ports is not given.
 Norwegians Warned
 Two German warnings to the Norwegians to stop their resistance have been broadcast
 One warning. called final" is- sued by Gen. Von Falkenhorst, Commander h. Chief of the Army of Occupation, demands that re- sistance cease under threat of dreadful results" if refused.
 Sentences C0mmutted
 While the Germans are celebrat- ing Hitler's 51st birthday, the de- mands on the Norwegians are somewhat softened by commuta- tion of death sentences on Nor wegians who have been doomed since the invasion.
 But, at the same time, from Berlin, came the warning to the Norwegians that Germany intends to end the war on the "Norwe- gian purposeless resistance" as quickly as possible.
 Germans Lose Battle
 Travellers from Norway who have crossed into Sweden said the Germans have suffered heavy losses when repulsed in battle at El- verum, north of Oslo. Earlier re- ports said Elverum had fallen to the Germans.
 Larger Force Landed
 Unofficial reports said that the two British Divisions and one French Division total between 30,- 900 and 40,000 men landed at three widely separated coastal points.
 The Allies are apparently plan ming a thrust at the German oc- cupied port Of Trondheim, key to Central Norway.
 The Germans are said to be ex- tending their grip in Southern Norway and are estimated to have increased the expeditionary force to between 6o,O0O and 80,00O men, largely transported to the invad- ed country by plane owing to the sea blockade of the Allies.
