LEAGUE OF NATIONS CLOSES SESSION SECOND ASSEMBLY ADJOURNS i AT GENEVAN-PRESIDENT SAYS THAT PESSIMISTS WHO EX PECTED' DISSOLUTION FACE DISAPPOINTMENT. Geneva, Oct 6.?The second aa sembly of the league of nations adjourned at 6 o'clock tonight after re1 electing Brazil, Belgium, China arid Spain, the four non-permanent members of the council. President Van Karnebeck, summing up the work of the session, said that those who had expected from the' league miracles tnat wouia 1 transform the world suddenly into a paradise would be disappointed, but the pessimists who had predicted dissolution of the league would be confounded by the result of the work accomplished. He dwelt upon the importance of the international court of justice and various technical organizations set up by the assembly as real progress toward the ' kind of internationalism the league was organized to bring about Opinions of a majority of the delegations regarding the work of the league are divided but the net results apparently give general satisfaction. The assembly has done less than ardent league members like Lord Robert Ceeil thought it ought to do, but more than conservative > delegates,, such as A. J. Balfour, believed it could do. The intermediate results are regarded as a satisfactory compromise by both groups. The attitude of the delegates toward the Washington conference on ; the limitation of armaments varies according to the situation of the different countries. The email states i say that it is for the large nations , to make a beginning in this direction, hence'Washington is the proper place for such a beginning, since there all the greatest armed nations will be gatheied together. There is also considerable skepticism, but ' most of the delegates are hopeful. The delegates of the nations- more Dr less directly interested in the re1 suits of the conference are reticent. In some of the delegations the idea " prevails that as an outcome of the ' Washington conference some inter' national organization may be formed which would be apart from the league of nations as at present constituted. Some apprehension is ex; pressed over the possibility of such a rival organization.

The .j. wrecked cars burst into flames and the disaster was made all the more n terrible by the explosion of a gas reservoir. v ^ At a late hour tonight 16 bodies q had been recovered. Twenty persons ^ are known to, have been seriously ^ injured and 60 slightly injured. This jr however, gives no idea of the extent u of the disaster, because the firemen f( and others engaged in the worlp of tj rescue have been unable to get any 0, distance within the tunnel owing to the gas fumes. ''The fire spread with great rapidity w and for a time cries of distress and j 0 the moans of the dying were heard ^ on all sides but these finally were ^ silenced through the crackling of. the burning wooden coaches. The firemen under Colonel Hivert 0] were not prepared for the barrage tl of poisonous fumes which assailed ai fifl VAOAVA/J C/?OnP. Ssi bucrn oo wucj xvaviivu VJ Finally they succeeded in playing four streams on the last coaches at the St. Lazare end of the tunnel but these were empty and not burning while 17 coaches in the center of the tunnel far away from the firemen's efforts were burning fiercely. At no time could they get closer than 600 feet from the inferno. Nevertheless, every now and then a passenger with blackened face would come struggling out, begging the helpless firemen, police and soldiers to enter the tunnel and save those dying within. The minister of public works, M. he Troquer, whp was early on the scene helping to direct the rescue work, described it as "a vision of hell.". He announced that the dead < would be buried and the injured re- | ceive medical treatment at the ex- | pense of the state. E Q A hundred thousand commuters E who every evening depart homeward j| from' the St. Lazare station sur- | rounded the yards but were refused jg admittance. As a consequence there [f was an immense amount of confusion | and many of the commuters repaired [| to the barracks, placed at their die- j? posal by the government. An American Bed Cross unit was ? among the first in the relief work. E The collision occurred when the I 5:52 train for the suburb Mary-le- e roi crashed into the rear end of a>| train for Versailles, which left four | minutes earlier on the same track f| but which stopped inside the tunpel ?. for some unexplained reason. Cries jg for help and moans were audible at j? the ends of the tunnel. ? It is feared that those who were ? trapped in the burning wreckage | . may never be identified as they | would surely be burned to a cinder ? in the intense heat yet unreached | by the firemen who were directing | streams of water from both ends of g the tunnel. {2 a Later it was learned that the fire g started by explosions of small ilium- g inating gas tanks in the coaches of ? the telescoped train. The train for | Versailles had stopped to repair a | broken coupling when the collision j| occurred. Hundreds were enabled to g d escape by running through the dark E tunnels along the tracks to the ends^ of the tube. Paris, Oct. 6.?Seventeen of those' 1 injured in the tunnel wreck have ? died in hospitals, according to the | Havas agency, bringing the total | number of dead in the tunnel wreck | to 33. Exploration of the 17 burned | cars has not yet been possible and it E is feared that they contain addition- | al victims.
