The man shook his head.
Can you speak German?'
Again the man shook his head.
Can you speak Italian?"
The same response.
Can you speak Russian? Can you
speak Swidish?" were the next ques-

The explosion occurred in the

Explosives constituted only Il small
part of its output, which included

The cause Of the explosion is still

Cured among stores kept hidden
from the inter-allied military COM
