Americans Leave Odessa Only 56
Hours Before Germans Enter
ATTACK MADE ON TRAIN
Ancient Engine Burned Wood Gath
cred Along Route and Ancient En-
Quitting When Supply Gave Out.

London, May TN the eventful
flight from Jassy, Rumania's capital,
the American Red Cross mission,
which has arrived here, escaped
from Odessa &c hours before the Ger
mans entered it only to be fired on by
Germans in the Ukraine 200 miles
north of the. Black Sea port. The
German shells did no damage to the
Red Cross train, falling about half
mile from it, but several members
breathed a sigh of relief when the
bonn bardment came to an end.
When the mission left Jassey, it
was known that the journey would
likely be dangerous one. Reports
in Jassy as to the whereabouts of the
Germans varied greatly, but it was
fairly clear that the Germans were
within SO or so miles of Odessa and
that their advance parties might be
encountered along the line.
The members of the mission left on
the third of six trains which carried
the allied missions from Jassy. The
first train left at noon on March 9
and the other trains followed at in
tervals of two or three hours.
Each train was provided with food
for a month. There was no dining
car and the food was cooked in two
military kitchens abandoned by Rus
sian troops and which were carried
on freight car on the end Of the
train.
The train in which the mission
travelled was one of the most extra
ordinary combinations of railway
rolling stock ever seen.
American doctors and officers had
a third class sleeping car, while the
nurses had Il second class sleeper.
Both cars were of ancient Russian
vintage and without water supply or
heating facilities.
Engineer Liked His Cognac.
The cnsint which pulled the train
dated back to 1876 and only burned
fer fuel such wood as was picked
up along the way The engineer
matched the engine. He was an ell
lcrly Russian Of Bolsheviki opinion,
and had to be fed with rubles and
cognac almost as frequently as the
engine required wood. He carried
his family along with him in box
car next to the engine and whenever
meals or domestic affairs required his
attention he stopped the train and
went home" to his box car.
Outside Odessa the engineer be-
came dissatisfied with the flow of
rublcs and cognac and went on
strike and departed with the engine
and box car. He had chosen rather
q critical time. for reports were cur
rent that the Germans were likely to
reach the railway at any moment. Af-
ter some delay the officials succeeded
in finding another engine and en-
gineer, and the train proceeded. AS
a matter Of fact, German battalions
entered. Odessa SO hours after the
Americans passed through the city,
and it was probable some of their
advance guards were in the suburbs
at the time the engineer went on
strike.
