He escaped with a bruised back and face and a cut in the lip that took two stitches to bring together. Hearing a crash like a cannon roar, Pneinee Roy Vance instinc- tively closed the throttle and put on the emergency air brakes, bringing the heavy train to a stop in one cay length less than the ‘ain length. When he applied the air he did not know what had hap- pened but figured either the boiler had given way or the trucks un- der the engine had crumbled. Be- fore the train had come to a stop but after doing all in his power to stop the swiftly travelling train, he started to go out the cab through the front window, expect- ing to leap for his life if the trucks were gone. He soon found that the engine was goin; smoothly on the rails and returned into the cab. As soon as the train was stop- ped, search was started for Seibert and he was. found almost uncon- scious 25 feet to the, side of the Feb. 21,— train and about even with the rear coach, his place determining how quiekly the train had been brought to a stop. Seibert, when blown from the engine through the air, struck the ground very close to a big stone. He landed on the heavily crusted snow and plowed a furrow through it some distance, é (GE STRONG NOTE Protest Against French Plan of |THE Berli Bring About Understand- Holland against the interruption of coal deliveries from trict i tions The Germans failed to fulfill or regularly fill of the gians shipments for Germans interior of German: by UTTERS STRONG PROTEST Berl j to the and | kovernments and the Rhineland com- missio; the rural districts to supply farm- | ernment. utters agains!
