A squadron of Austrian air
men, swooping down on the pro-
vince of Venetia, attacked both
trains as they sped toward Pad
ua. Two planes pursued the eX-
press aboard which the queen
and Princess Jolanda were pas
sengers, bombarding them con-
tinuously. until their bomb sup
plies were exhausted. The avia-
tors were finally driven off by
anti-aircraft artillery.
News of the attack was tele-
graphed ahead to Padua. Upon
arriving there, the royal family
was greeted by an enormous
crowd, which gave them a tire
mendous ovation, shouting: 'Vi-
va Italy! The princesses wav-
ed their handkerchiefs in re-

informed the Austrian air base
of the exact time on which the
