EXPRESS TRAIN HITS COACH: TWELVE DIE

HAMBURG, June 4.

A SERIOUS accident, costing 12 lives, occurred at an unguarded railway crossing near Wallsen In Luenburger Helde on Sunday morn- ing, when a loaded motor coach was struck by a railway express car. The motor coach driver apparently realised too late that the trala was approaching and endeavoured to stop his vehicle,

But the result of his efforts merely brought the coach with its 34 passengers directly in the path of the train and the motor coach was buried against a steel signal mast and completely demolished

In addition to 12 persons killed on the spot, a large number were seriously injured, and it is feared that in many cases the Injuries will prove fatal-Trans-Ocean.

SOVIET REPLY TO Mourns

ALLIANCE PLANS

LONDON, June 4.

THE SOVIET reply to the Anglo-French proposals, the text of which was handed to the British and French

Ambassadors in Moscow on Friday, has been received in London.

The British Government is carefully studying the reply, conforms with the points in M. Molotoff's speech last week.

which

The next move, "Reuter" understands, is the finding of a formula to meet the Soviet condition that tripartite guarantees be given to the Baltic States.

The latter, it is noted, have made it plain that they do not desire guarantees by anyone, on the ground that their safety lies in complete neutrality,

Other important points in M. Molotoff's speech do not seem to present the same difficulty.

The conclusion of a purely defensive mutual assistance pact between the three countries is unquestioned.

It is confidently expected that the form and extent of immediate and effective assistance to be given in the event of aggression on States other than France, Britain! and Russia will be satisfactorily settled.
