TWO DEATHS
ANOTHER TRAIN SMASH IN BRITAIN COLLISION IN CUMBERLAND. SIXTEEN PERSONS INJURED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, November 5. The second train smash within 36 hours occurred at Gretna Junction tonight, when a London express collided with a freight train. Two people were killed and sixteen seriously injured. The German news agency ascribes yesterday’s disaster, when a train from London to Penzance was derailed, to a well-aimed bomb on a troop transport train, basing its statement on Swedish reports that all the casualties were service men. Actually the casualties include at least four women.
