ENGLAND PASSES AN EXCITING WEEK-END: MORE I.R.A. OUTRAGES

London, To-day.

The country has passed through an exciting week- end, no fewer than eight bomb outrages a great conflagration and a fire on board a ship. having been reported.

The bomb outrages occurred in luggage rooms on railway stations at Derby, Leicester, Birming- ham, Stafford, Nottingham, Coventry, War- wick and Kettering. All the explosions took place between 3 and 7 a.m. yesterday.

The police have already ascer- tained that the nature of the out- rage in each case was the same, and it is assumed that the Irish. Republican Army is responsible.

All the bombs were time bombs. In two cases, at Derby and Leices ter, a man was injured:

In Birmingham, the damage was more severe, as most of the luggage room was shattered and doors and windows in adjoining rooms broken."

The fire brigade had to work hard for several hours in Birming- ham to put out a fire started by the explosion. ;

At the seven other places, damage was not as

as bad as at Birmingham, but the police report says it was "considerable."

A far-reaching investigation into. the outrages has started.

LEEDS OIL FIRE

In Leeds, an, oll refinery caught, fire yesterday morning, about 300 tons of oil being destroyed.

The flames, says an eye-witness, at times shot up several hundred feet in the air.

All fire-brigades in the Leeds district were called out to prevent the fire spreading.

At the East India Docks in Lon- don, the 1,500-ton steamer "Maria” took fire. The vessel had a mixed cargo on board;

About 120 firemen fought the hospital suffering seriously from blaze, six of them being taken to smoke and gas poisoning. The steamer is not regarded as lost. Trans-Ocean.

IMPERIALS

CARRYING MORE MAILS

-London, To-day."

Over a million and a quarter pounds s of mail matter, approxim- ately 50,000,000 letters, are now being carried every three months in the air lines of Imperial Air ways.

This is an increase of just over 100 per cent, on last year's figures. On Empire routes each letter travels an average of approximate- ly 4,750 miles.

The growth of air traffic is also illustrated by the fact that during a recent three-monthly- period, about 10,000 passengers travell- ed by Imperial Airways, compar ed with little over 7,000 in the corresponding period in the pre- vious year. British Wireless.
