SEVENTY KILLED
IN GERMAN TRAIN CRASH NEW COACH FOR HITLER. TESTED BY STORM TROOPERS. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.40 a.m.) BERLIN, December 22. The latest train crash occurred at 1 a.m. The Berlin-Neunkirchen express crashed at full speed into the BerlinCologne express, which, was standing at a station. Both trains were packed. Besides 70 killed there were a hundred injured. This is the worst of night train crashes in Germany since the month of October, in which 183 persons were killed and 257 injured. Hitler is alarmed at the number of smashes, and has ordered a new crash-proof railway coach for his personal use. The coach has been rigorously tested by Storm Troopers sitting there in while a goods train was hurled into it at 50 miles an hour. The coach was derailed, but the occupants allegedly were only shaken.
