The trains -- an eastbound passenger and a westbound trooper -- rammed together at noon yesterday just west of the Canoe River siding where they were scheduled to pass. Bodies of 12 soldiers were taken from the wreckage of three coaches. Others were missing and believed dead. Buried in the twisted wreckage of their giant locomotives were the four engine crew members, The soldiers were members of Canada's special force bound for Fort Lewis, Wash., from Shilo, Man. No injuries were reported among passengers of the other train, the Continental Limited PY * bound for Montreal from Van- couver.

The official said the words "at Canoe River" were dropped from a message given the con- ductor of the troop train. The full order should have | read something like this: "The troop train will wait at Canoe River for the Transcontinental Train No. 2 to pass. The troop train will then proceed west to Gosnell where it will wait for the second section of the Trans- continental, Train No. 4, to pass." The conductor of the Trans- continental got the full order. The official said that with the words "at Canoe River" left out of its message, the troop train crew got the impression it was to wait 'at Gosnell, about 10 miles west of Canoe River, for both passenger trains. A few minutes after it passed Cance River, the collision oc- curred. [the flyer. The 'baggage car and | three sleepers were flung off the rails. Two sleepers were shatter- ed the front of the third badly damaged. Baggage and express cars of the flier were derailed. A cloud of steam enveloped the wreck as the heating line from the 'locomotive burst. The cars were quickly sheathed in ice as the steam met zero temperature. Troops and passengers poured out of the trains to help the in- jured. Their efforts were ham- pered by the bitter cold and six inches of snow lying on the mountainside. The soldiers quickly organized aid for the injured. Two dining cars on the troop train were cleared for use as a hospital. Dr. P. 8S. Kimmett of Edson, Alta., a passenger on the Contine ental Limited, took charge. His wife acted as nurse.

Gregori Savonenkov, has told President Juho Paasikivvi_ he will not permit any international NET PAID CIRCULATION guarantees for the independence of the island.

The Ontario attorney-general has received a report from two officials of his department in- dicating that the delay in re- porting the slaying of Francis J. Sullivan, chief solicitor for the Lands and Forests Depart- ment, was due to the fact that at first there was nothing to indicate the death was anything but natural. Sullivan was found dead early last Saturday in a suite in the Cha- teau Laurier. His widow has been charged with murder.

Tie Pile Blaze Might Have Been Quite Serious --iremail A blaze in a.pile of railroad ties, | near the C.P.R. track at Harmony | Road South, was quickly ex- | tinguished by firemen yesterday | afternoon. No real damage was | done since the ties were piled there to be burned. Assistant Fire Chief Milton Oster stated that. the fire could have be- | come serious, if it had spread to the tall, dry grass surrounding the pile which was close to a barn on the farm of F. Michael. A strong wind was blowing in the direction of the barn. . Mrs. Michael told firemen that she thought somebody walking along the track must have dropped a cigarette butt or lighted match in yesterday was described as "worse than any battle" by a soldier on the hospital 'rain which passed through here late last night. "I was near the men who were killed," the unidentified - soldier said. "In this case nobody had a chance. Nobody knew what was coming." * Another soldier said "every- thing was orderly. It is hard to believe that so many were killed and injured. There was so little confusion." Those were about the only de- scriptions made of the crash be- tween the troop train and the trans- continental passenger train. Troops aboard the hospital train were or- dered not to talk about the wreck. Many appeared willing to talk but weren't given the opportunity. Most of Jasper's, 1,700 residents-- 60 per cent of them railroad men-- | were out to meet the hospital train in one of the district's worst snow | storms of the season.
