DIFFICULT
TASK
It
was
stated
at
Canadian
National
Railways
offices
here
today
that
every
effort
was
being
made
to
recover
bodies
of
victims
from
the
engine
which
plunged
through
the
flood-weakened
Lome
Creek
bridge
last
Saturday
night.
On
account
of
the
engine
with
tender
and
one
freight
car
being
buried
in
soft
silt
and
driftwood
and
owing
to
rising
and
falling
water,
the
task
was
proving
difficult.
It
is
possible
that
the
bodies
may
.not
be
recovered
until
it
is
possible
to
tackle
the
engine,
which
lies
in
an
awkward
position
below
the
track,
and
haul
it
out.
Up
to
noon
today
no
bodies
had
been
recovered.

'lt
is

following

Petaln

Laval
are
said
to
lead
the

elements
In
the
cabinet,
the
former
being
opposed
to

or
relinquishing

is

Assurance
to
Britain
Meanwhile
the
Vichy
foreign
minister
Is
reported
to
have
said
that
there
will
be
no
military
ac
tion
by
France
against
Great
BrJ-
:
tain
and
that
France
will
not,
under
any
circumstances,
declare

There
was
no
question
of
a
declaration
of
war
against
Great

or
any
other
nation
or
the
turning
over
of
the
French
navy
or
air
force
to
any
oth-
,
er
power.
There
was
absolutely
ho
foundation
for
reports
that
France

was
negotiating
to
fight
against
Great
Britain
or
any
other
country.

Another
report
is
that,
.
while
Germany
wants
the
remnants

French
navy
merged

not
expected
to
participate
directly
In

The
remnant
of

tconslsts
of
one
or
more

(and
several
