EXPRESS TRAIN HITS COACH: TWELVE DIE

HAMBURG. June 4.

A SERIOUS accident, costing 12 lives, occurred at an unguarded railway crossing near Walisen in Luenburger Heldo 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 train 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.

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

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.

One of the gangsters suddenly turned and emptied his revolver at the pursuing detectives, shooting one of the police officers in the abdomen jand hitting a bystander in the log.

Despite the overwhelming odds, and bereft of the assistance of his fellow-officer, Detective Tsang continued to pursue the five men.

As they neared Des Voeux Road the de- tective brought one of the men down with a well-aimed shot.
