Farewell Queen Maria Social

should have loved to hear from the aged
Queen some stories Of her ~favorite race horses
and famous dogs, but before / could question
her about them came the downfall of the
Reds and the triumphant entry OF the White
Guards into Munich. All the disorderly crew
of Reds in the hotel and elsewhere was dis
persed. The Hotel Continental was formally
occupied by General Won Epp, who rode into
the beflagged and j~oyously celebrating city
at the head Of the troops from Prussia, Wurt-
temberg and Baden that had stormed the city
together with their Bavarian comrades.
About an hour after his occupancy OF the
hotel a helmeted White Guard, seeing me
come Town the stairs, stopped me and | was
taken first to an adjutant and then to General
Won Epp, who questioned me closely about
my presence in the hotel. Happily the mill
tary pass | had from Berlin spared me en-
barrassing consequences. OF course | told
Baron Won Epp about Little and then | also
told him about the presence Of Her Majesty
Queen Maria Sofia in the hotel. She inter
ested him more than Little did. Immediately
he went upstairs to pay her his respects.
The next | heard was a ruf1e of drums and
a tucket Of trumpets in front of the hotel.
| looked out of the window and | saw the
General handing the Queen and her lady-in-
waiting into his military automobile. Then
he, too, entered. There was a sharp word of
command, a platoon of Bavarian infantry,
fronting our portal, presented arms. The
officer in command saluted with his saber.
The two old ladies acknowledged the salute.
Then the automobile drove off to take the
Queen back to her mansion. 1t was the last
| ever saw OF her.

MENT HEADQUARTERS,
England, Aug. 21-(UP)-
German aerial spies using
captured flying fortresses
were revealed today to be sneaking
into Fortress raiding formation to
study their tactics and plot their
course for Nazi ground gunners and
fighter planes.
Belated reports that four -motored
Boeings which fell into German
hands were being used, still bearing
their United States army air force
markings, against American raiding
forces indicated that so far such
Nazi missions had the gathering of
information as their objective.
NO COMBAT
The Nazi maneuver, employed
sporadically for several months, in
volved no actual combat from the
captured forces against the eighth
air force heavy bombers. it appear
ed, nor were they used in any
bombing of Britain.
Accounts of the German tactics
said the Nazi aerial spies aboard the
Fortresses sometimes managed to
ease into raiding formation and
remain many minutes before they
were discovered. The concentrated
fire of the American ships usually
knocked them out of the formation
when they were spotted.
SNEAK IN
CreWmen said the German held
Fortresses apparently were not used
as firing posts against the Amer
leans, but merely sneaked in for
two purposes:
|. To report the altitude and
general course of the raiding
formations to the ground batteries
and fighter stations.
2. To study the American forma-
tions for information that might be
useful in future defensive opera
tiOns.
But there was every indication
that the job had been no more
helpful to the Nazis than other spy
ing assignments In addition to risk
ing the hazards of gunfire from
the forts surrounding them, they
faced the danger of getting caught
by their own fighters and anti-air-
craft gunners.
The Fortresses being used by the
Germans were those which made
forced landings in Nazi territory
the crewmen apparently having nc
chance to destroy them before their
seizure.
Some others might have been re-
built from parts of Fortresses
which crashed in enemy territory.

FDR HAPPY
White House Secretary Stephen
T. Early who made the announce
ment for Mr.. Roosevelt and King,
said the President as particularly
happy" that he was in Canada
when such good news could be CIV
en- to the world.
Text of the joint statement:
"a strong force of United States
and Canadian troops supported by
surface vessels have occupied the
island of Kiska in the Aleutians.
The landing began on August IS:
no Japanese were found, and it Is
our belief that the enemy evacua-
ton was made under cover of
heavy fog.
1T is evident that the position of
the Japanese troops became un-
tenable because of the occupation
of Attu, the harrassment of enemy
supply lines and the recent bomb
ings and bombardments of Kiska
by air and surface craft.
For security reasons this an
nouncement has been withheld
pending the unloading of transports.
The present occupation of Kiska
frees the last vestige of North AM
erican territory of japanese forces.
