Under the armistice terms and the arrange- ments made in connection with it. Foch can command these United Btates forces. Information now in possession of this Government, it. was learned, is that Germany has deliberately taken advantage of the United States Sen- ate’s rejection of the peace treaty to make an attempt at stirring up dis- *wention among the Allied and asso- ciated powers, to escape further in- filetion of the peace terms, and avoid » payment for the seized German war- ships scuttled in Scapa Flow. ‘ehada hy time defeating Ger- objections that have been raised to certain provisions in the covenant of the League, whether reservations | can cover all the objections raised or not, the biggest fact in international ratification of the peace treaty, Eu- Tropean Governments would have reservations proposed. Others could be modified to avoid embarrass- ments. But foreign trade, interna- tional exchange and business gener- ally are expected to receive a big impetus the moment the treaty is ratified. Burope is straining at the leash. Reconstruction is not possible with- out adequate funds. Until the part that America is to play In world af- faire is definitely known, reports in- dicate that Buropean countries will remain in a state of pitiful stagna- tion, The hope is that America will do something by Christmas.

Twenty-seven passengers, two of them women, were severely injured | by a collision between a crowded mu- Avenue tre Righth Avenues, afier § o'clock this morning. The accident was the second within y car at Flatbush and Brooklyn, sbortly 171 South Fourth Street, Brooklyn, was struck and Wisabled by @ Flat- Avenue in the rush hour last evening, but none of the passengers was Vadly duet. The bus which was wrecked this monning was crowded to its capacity with thirty passengers. It had just turned Into Flatbush Avenue, from Eighth Avenue bound for Borough Hall. The chauffeur and owner was Charles Minnick of Pittsfield, Mass, A Flatbush trolley train, a motor car and a trailer, with Fred Smith, of No. 1209 St. Marks Avenue, as motorman, was moving rapidly down Flatbush “Avenue in the same direc- tion, The head car struck the omnt- bus obliquely between the forward and rear wheels and ripped along the whole side The omnibus was smashed to pieces, The roof of it was bumped off by the impact of the bodies of the passen- re, The vehicle was overturned and went to splinters and the passengers were scattered along the car tracks lor fifty feet. ‘Ail the windows on the side of the first trolley car were broken and t samenee on both cars were thrown from their seats and severely jarred, but the only injuries suffered in t cars were caused by flying glass splinters. Assistant District Attorney Gold- torney Lewis, started an investigation 1o determine the civil and criminal os meng teed for the accident, The rict Attorney said that it was pos- sible that the municipal authorities who permitted he buses to rin wit out license and without franchise con- trol might not only be held for pay- ment of damages to the victims of the wreck, but might also be held crim- inally responsible for the injuries to the passengers. Smith, motorman of the trofey, and Minnick, owner and chauffeur of the Minnick said he bought the bus on deferred paymentg and now owed $2,700 on the price. When he came from Pittafield in September he said, he did not know how to operate the machine and hired a chauffeur for a time. He asserted he applied to one Jack Webman in Delancey Street on his arrival here and had been as~- signed to a route by Wehman, who told him to pay his own expenses and keen all his collections. Minnick sald he was moving about four miles an hour at the time of the accident and that the car was going thirty miles an hour, Smith reversed these figures, Mr. Goldstein ordered Harold L. Warner, an attorney, out of his office for advising Smith to be careful In making statements. Both men were ordered under ar- rest on a charge of felonious assault due to criminal negligence.
