The train was being run by a volunteer crew, replacing railway men. The engineer had slowed to six miles an hour, and only one passenger was injured. Four deaths from railway acci- dents have occurred in the last 24 hours. Three passengers were _killed and a number hurt when a traincd manned by collided with a freight train near Edinburgh, and in another acci- dent at Cambridge one person was killed and two were injured. King George held a_ private couneil at Buckingham Palace this morning. Whether it was for ratification of further emergency imeasures was not disclosed. A> government spokesman, out- lining the situation at the begin- ning of the eighth day of the strike said there. had been import- ant defections among the railway men buat that the main body of trikers had remained out, The country was quiet, he add- ed. The improved transportation fervices were steadily expanding and the measures of protection for the volunteers had proved effica- cious.

IN OBSERVATIONS } } STRENUOUS DAYS AT LOCAL STATION WITH ONE OF ASSISTANTS NOW AWAY ON LEAVE They are having strenuous days | at the Weather Bureau these days. | May is “international month,” and) that means additional and inten-| sive work at the local office, And all this extra work comes at a} period when Mr. Boyer is shy one assistant who is on ieave. For many years most of the! meteorological sérvices of the world have cooperated in ex- ploring the upper regions of the atmosphere, the work being con- dueted under the general direc- tion of the Commission for the} Exploration of the Upper Air, All) available mfthods were employed, including kites, balloons of vari- ous kinds, airplanes, and mountain and cloud observations. The data were published from time to time, | and pon them were based some very important studies concerning the structure and character of the upper atmosphere. Heretofore the Commission has i designated one day in each month, six days, as “international days.” Upon the suggestion of the Weath- er Bureau that an international, {Byrd and Pilot Floyd Bennett oceasionally groups of three or). NAVALEXPERTS PASS ON FLIGHT ACCOMPLISHED | ACCEPT AS A FACT AIR VOY-| AGE OF COMMANDER BYRD NOTWITHSTANDING OTHER] VIEWS (ity Associated Press) NEW YORK, May 11.—Amer- jean naval experts are accepting; as a fact accomplished the flight| of Lieut. Commander Richard E.} from Spitzbergen to the North) Pole and back, notwithstanding the | feeling. of reserve held in Italy, | Denmark, Norway and Germany,} pending positive proof of the| achievement. With his sun compass and his own bubble sextant Byrd at all times was able to determine his exact position and to know posi- tively when he ¢rossed over the} pole and circled about it. It is the belief of the naval experts that with a bright sun shining and} absolute freedom from fog or clouds, Byrd was certain, when he returned to Kings Bay Sunday, that he had visualized from the air the scene that Peary had observed | from the ice, the exact top of the world. It is the Opinion in naval circles} that with the formula which had) been worked out for him to deter-} mine “his geographical position,; Byrd’s claim will be proved out- side the realm of contradiction. Because of the sun compass and/ greater value throughout the year, the Commis-| sion, though retaining the present custom of selecting isolated days) ‘in various months, has also desig-| inated May as “international) month” for this year. Special ef- forts are being made by all ser- vices to gather as much Steed tion as possible concerning the! upper air during this month. i Intensive work is being done by the Weather Bureau as its part in! carrying out this ambitious pro-| gram, especially at the large aero-| logical stations, and more especial-| ly at Royal Center, Ind., where | particularly intensive investiga-; tions wefe carried out on the 7th) and 8th by means of sounding! struments.
