ALLIED AIRMAN

SEVERE JOLT

An allied airman blew UP the train
carrying all the ammunition for the
Austrian Skoda 305-centimeter how
itzers sent to tho Western front. This
information, cleaned from a captured
officer of the H1Sards Glars up a mys-
terry which has puzzled the allied mill
tary leaders for weeks.
When Emperor Charles sent his tele-
gram to the Kaiser declaring that the
thunder of Austrian guns on the
West front" was his answer to Pre-
mier Clemenceau's publication of the
famous letter to Sixtus In which
Charles admitted that the claims OF
France to Alsace-Lorraine are justi-
fiel, the French artillery chiefs lis
tened in vain for that thunder. They
reported never q peep from the Skodas.
The feat Of the allied airman was the
answer.
This is but one OF a whole galaxy
of achievements on the part of the
allied airmen recorded In French dis
patches received here yesterday. The
story of their success is based on the
admissions Of German prisoners and
letters found on the dead.

at the station in wiencourt. The
bomb apparently started a whole se-
ries of explosions which destroyed
the entire train.
All the German prisoners complain
bitterly Of the way the allied air

lines with machine guns and with
bombs. A letter found on the body
