German aviators have bombarded |
the barracks of American army engi-
neers, but none of the men received
a scratch
The attack was made at night and
the men were suddenly aroused by
the bursting of explosives. They hur-
ried into the bomb proof dugouts and
there calmly waited until the raiders
made off
Flying at low attitudes the hostile
visitors opened up with their machine
guns and riddles the barracks build
ings.
The Americans took the attack very
calmly and showed not a trace of ner-
vousness.
How the German airmen were able
to locate the American barracks in
the darkness is a mystery.
The location of the cantonments
| has not been revealed by the mill
tary authorities nor has it become
| known how close they are to the
/ front.
The chief feature of the attack was
the calmness of the men. Some even
joked while the German machine guns
were rafting high above the ground
When the barracks were establish
ed the officers seeing the possibility
of an air raid had deep dugouts con
! structed and equipped for just sucl
an emergency.
German aviators have been scout
ing for some time in an eviden
search for American troops and wer,
evidently doing their utmost to fer
ret out their location.
This information has not caused
any nervousness as among the Sam
mics, however. They are here for ac
