That's the story of "ftebel," a Boston terrier with 20 bombing missions tq his credit. He is welcomed in Washington, D. C., by Miss Sally Katz, sister of his master, Staff Sgt.

(International) Lack Of Adequate Protection Causes A. C. L. Rail Wreck I. C. C. Reports Its Findings in Investigation Of Train Collision Near Buie on December 16 Washingti n. Jan. ID—(AP)—The Interstate Cummcrcc Commission reported today that "failure to provide adequate prolcAion tor derail- J ed cars" caused the December Hi, ! 191.7, Wreck on trrc Atlantic Coast j Line railway near Buie, N." C.. in ' which 72 persons were killed and 1K7 injured. The commission s id that li members of tiie crew of a deraded southbound train had lurnished J proper lias protection and had made a thorough inspection of the train, "the collision between the northbound train and the derailed cars coud have been prevented." The w reck involved two ot the | Atlantic Coast lane crack p.i.-senger trains. Many of the killed and injured were military personnel. The commission said the railroad's operating rules provide that when a tra::: is stopped suddenly and the cause is not definitely known, adjacent tracks that might be obstructed must be protected at once in both directions until it is determined they rae sale and iear. "The members of the crew yi No. !tl (southbound) understood these icquircments." the commission said. "A period ot approximately 1(1 minutes elapsed between the derailment oi tiie southbound and the collision between the northbound train and cars. « This period aflouled ample time in which to provide flag protection m both directions, the committee asserted. "Protection was furnished at Unreal end ot this train by the I lagman. but III,, firemen failed to provide himself with torpedoes and a sufficies supply of fusees with which to furnish adequate protection. Although the fireman stated that he gave stop signals with a lighted red lantern, these signals were not given from a position where they were visible to the enginemen of No f! (norlhliotiiulT." The commission said that as a result of the wreck it has received many suggestions for the use of various devices to provide protcc tion for trains under cor.di linns similar l«> those existing alter the southbound train wiis derailed. The suggt slions included the use of a two-way radio system to provide communication between crew members at cat?i end of a train and also between the crews of trains approaching each other, and arrangement for displaying a red light in front of a train stopped under abnormal conditions, rocket warning lights, and others.

The Germans however, dug in close to the western and southern sides of the city, constructing elaborate fortifications. Front dispatches reported continued gains in the western Ukraine despite unseasonable rain and mud.
