Exploits of New Engine of Destruction
During Kumanian Campaign
Described.

AT GENERAL Won FALKEN-
HAYN's HEADQUARTERS IN RU-
MANIA, Dec. 1O.-CNia London. p.
m)-One OF the most interesting fea-
lures of the Rumanian campaign
from German standpoint has been
the spectacular work of the new ar
mored automobiles evolved soon after
the advent Of the British tanks" on
the Sommc front, but which the de-
velopments In Rumania have shown
to be vast Improvement in efficiency
over the British machines.
Even in the brief tests II has had
since the Germans crossed the noun
tains into the Rumanian plains the
new German armored car has SHOWN
itself an efficient auxiliary TO the
cavalry in patrol work, as II frequently
can inflict infinitely more damage
than whole squadron and Is far
more difficult to destroy than the
English invention. Its achievements
so far include an attack on Rumania
infantry in which three hundred men
were killed.
Twenty five Feet Long.
The cars are % feet in length, with
wheels "A foot wide and encased IN
solid rubber. They carry crew or
ten men, including the machine gun
operators the chauffeur and one SUB
stitute and on officer. The machine
guns can be operated in almost any
direction thru narrow Sits. Az one
/ end under the customary hood ~ u
one hundred horsepower motor and at
the other end under a similar hood Is
the gasoline tank. Each man In tho
crew Is an expert Mechanic and chauf-
! feur.
The automobile engine is both air
ard water cooled. The car smell Is
| impcrvious to machine gun and rltle
| fire. When no opponent Is in slght
the top of the turret can be opened
so that "A man can get his shoulders
out and make observations. When

Odd Experiences.
There have been many odd eX-
periences with these automobiles IN
| Rumania. on one of the first trips
a car entered village not yet cap
| turcd, where the officer and his crew
were taken for Russians because the
Germans were not supposed to have
armored cars. Just as the crew was
being enthusiastically greeted three
: Rumanian locomotive drivers tried To
get their engines away, but the au-
tomob!le was too swift for them. IL
raced ahead, the crew destroyed a
norton of the track and the auto
mobile received the engines with

fire which forced their surrender aft
er they had been disabled.
ON the return TO the village the
crew was again greeted by the popu-
lation. but this time with white flags
of surrender.
The great usefulness OF the auto
mobiles has been most apparent in
Rumania. where the character OF the
warfare makes IL possible to slip be-
hind the opponents lines. ON "A re-
cent exploit OF this kind the com
mander worked his way to the rear
OF a body OF Rumanian infantry which
was ontrenched and almost before
the Rumanians were aware of the
cars presence swept the trenches with
a machine gun fire and drove the de-
tenders out in disorder
Not One Captured.
None of the German automobiles
of this type used in Rumania has as
yet been disabled or destroyed by OPP
poncnts. The bullets thus far encoun-
tered have hardly dentcd the shells
of tho machine.
The chief advantage of the new
automobile in contrast with the Brit
ish machine is that 1t can run at an
average speed OF 25 miles an hour,
as contrasted with the snall-like pace
quentiy enables II to scout even ahead
of the cavalry and II can make its
way over any road or even a field.
