FRENCH TRAIN PILOTED FROM STATION.
(United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.)
(Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, May 31. Alderman C. W. Beardley, once an en-gine-driver but now Lord Mayor of Sheffield, while visiting Paris and the battlefields with a number of English Mayors, returned to the footplate at the Gate Du Nord and started from the station the Paris-Liege express and drove it a short distance till he encountered the signal against him. Quite a large number of officials and friends assembled at the station to see the Yorkshire Lord Mayor manipulate one of the largest locomotives in France. Mr Beardley, during the war, drove locomotives in the battlefield area.
