Western Front Quiet

Paris, Jan. 22.

Comparative calm reigned on the Western Front again yesterday. According to a French communique, Sunday was "a quiet day as a whole."

Setting a new record for its brevity, the latest French communique states: "Nothing to report."

Seven persons were killed, including two engine-drivers and a stoker, when a train carrying French troops on leave collided with a goods train near Troyes yesterday. The injured totalled about 40, but no one was seriously hurt.—Reuter.
