Weld erman, 37, of the seventeenth field ar tillery, Fort Bragg, were killed Jnstant ly in an automobile accident while on their way to Hamlet with their regi mental baseball team. r The accident occurred at the con crete bridge at the Hoke-Cumberland county line, where Mr. Cross' car stopped at the scene of an automobile wreck.

Warrant Officer Cross had been ooa'ch of the seventeenth ball team for two years and he and Sergeant Welderman were well known through out the state.

Great Britain and France reached a complete accord on the prob lem of European security, and If Ger many, to whom the accord soon will l>e sent, agrees to the conditions, a four-power pact will gome Into being based on the invllability of the Rhine frontier as are limited by the Versail les treaty. ? The pact will include Great Britain,; France, Belgium and Germany, Italy is not included, though the text will be communicated to her out of cour tesy, and Poland and Czecho-Sl(\vakia are not directly affected, though theyi will benefit by the operation of France's alliance with them. The next step In the negotiations will be the dispatch by France to Ger many, also in behalf of Great Britain and Belgium, of a letter replying to Germany's offer to negotiate ^ pact of guarantees for the German frontiers bordering on France and Belgium. I There are some indications of dis appointment In Polish and Czecho Slovaklan circles that their countries do not specifically enter the domain of! the proposed pact. It is understood that Great Britain agrees to ctyne to the support of Frapce with her Entire military, naval and air forces In casg Francp 1b at tacked or in case of any aggression across the Rhiile district. This con stitutes an elaboration of an obliga tion already -contained in the Versall-j l.es treaty whereby the allies agree to regard as a hostile act any infringe ment of the' demilitarized zone be tween France and Germany. Great Britain gives birth to the old Wilsonlan tribarte pact on the ground that her national Interests demand peace In western Europe. She de clines concerning Germany's eastern frontiers, because she realizes that the Britain domains would not approve of such a committment. Germany's Payments - Berlin, ?

OUTLOOK REGARDED FAIR CAR LOADINGS CONTINUE TO BREAK ALL RECORDS FOR THE YEAR. New York. ? Emerging from a period of rather restricted spring activity business has entered upon ite summer cycle with conditions In most lines of Industry generally described as fair. Conflicts of opinion have developed as to what the hot weather season holds in store. Some lines of trade, notably the textile Industry, have seen promise of improvement, others, Including motor manufacturers, feel that the peak of their trado has passed. Possibilities of a drastic recession In business which have been more or less common In recent years, are consider ed remote. The extremely moderate expaslon ?ln trade activity thiB year and the absence of speculative ex cesses are held to be adequate safe gards against sudden reactions. The impression prevails In the financial centers that business will continue Its pricess of readjustment but maintain an even keel, with a fairly high aver age of operations. The latest surveys of the steel situa tion offered encouragement to this view. The fact that for three weeks the country's steel production had held close to 70 per cent of capacity, the weekly review explained, might be taken as the measure of & nearly stab ilized market In contrast to the abrupt decline In operations a year ago. An other decrease In the United States Steel corporation's unfilled tonnage Is admittedly in prospect when the May report is 'published this week, but the anticipated decline so far haa occas ioned little concern. Hopes that foreign developments would speed up Europe's recovery were not fully realized. With the es- 1 tabllshment of a $50,000,000 exchange stabilization credit for the lira, It was felt that Italy had taken a long step toward a return to a gold basis and ultimate revaluation of the cur- 1 rency and had strengthened her posi-' tion for probable debt funding nego tiations. France, however, was threat ened with another financial crisis as the franc dropped to the lowest lovel In more than a year and Germany was , warned by the allies that she had fall- ' ed to live up to all the provisions of the peace treaty. The reorganization program 0uN< lined for the, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad last week provided a topic of obsorblng Interest for In- J vestment mlrcles. Plans for overhaul- 1 Ing the road's financial structure, Wall street generally agreed were, es- : sentlally sound and should permit an early erminatlon of the receivership. Insure 60,000 Railroaders. Louisville, Ky.-r? Group Insurance on the lives of more than 60,000 employes of three railroads, for a total cover age of approximately $150,000,000, was announced by the Loulsvlllo & Nash ville railroad.

Publish Sain of Plane*. Oenova. ? The proposed convention on arms traffic control was given more substance by tho decision of the Inter national conference to accord full pub licity to International traffic in air planes.

London. ? Official papers explaining the Anglo-French accord In replying to Germany's overtures for a pact guaranteeing Germany's western front iers will not be presentod to parlla ment Mr. Baldwin, the prime minister, explained in the house of commons, until the BritlBh foreign secretary. Atisten Chumberlaln. returns to Lon don about the end of next week. An authoritative statement given out, however. Indicates fully the nature of the proposed pact, which, should Ger many accept ? as deemed likely by the British government ? will institute un entirely new factor In European re lationships. First. Great Britain will abandon her policy of isolation and become virtually n member of a four power, alllanc<y^for it is assumed that Italy will join-? to preserve the peace of Europe and guarantee the frontiers of France, Belgium and Germany as established under the Versailles treaty against violation from any side, and will employ the whole of her defensive forces for this purpose. The pact will bi-lateral, Great Brit ain undertaking to guarantee the frontiers against unprovoked attack by either Franco or Germany.
