ENCED THE SEVEREST WEATHER FOR HALF- A CENTURY, AND ALMOST THE WHOLE OF ENGLAND IS SUFFERING FROM BITTER COLD. Glasgow yesterday had no southward connection with London, and trains from the south were temporarily lost.

Three trains which left England yesterday failed to reach their destinations and were traced hours later.

One of them, carrying all Scotland's Sunday newspapers, was stranded be- tween Carlisle and Beattock.

Another train, which left Glasgow at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, was still at Beatlock yesterday, and the railway made arrangements to feed the passengers.

TROOPS STRANDED

It was hoped to rescue them some time yesterday.

Many sailors and soldiers on leave were stranded in Glasgow when south- bound trains were suspended.---Reu- ter.

The weather has also been res- ponsible for the cancellation of leave for the B.E.F. in France. Reuter.
