GERMANS FIRE ON MEMBERS OF RED CROSS MISSION

Americans Escape from Rumanian Capital, but Are Bombarded in Ukraine. (By Associated Press) LONDON, May 7. In an eventful flight from Jassy, .the Rumanian capital, the American Red Cross mission to Rumania, which now has arrived in London, escaped from 'Odessa 36 hours before the Germans entered .it only to be fired upon by the German lattery in the Ukraine. 200 miles north of the famous Black Sea port. The German shells did. no damage to the Red Cross train, falling about half a mile from it, but several members of the. mission breathed a sigh of relief when the bombardment came to an end after five minutes, which had seomed like hours. When the mission left Jassy, it was known that the Journey likely would be dangerous. Reports in Jassy as to the whereabouts of the Germans varied grealy but it was fairly clear that they were within 50 or 60 miles of Odessa and that their advance parties might be encountered along the line. Most of the passengers on the train were officers and privates of the French military mission to Rumania and it was hardly to be expected that German or guerrilla bands would make nny careful distinction in favor of a few American Red Cross uniforms. On Third Train The American Red Cross mission left on the third of six trains which

carried the allied missions from Jessy. The first train left at noon, March 9 and the other trains followed at Intervals 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 food kitchens abandoned by Russian troops which are carried on a freight car on the end of the train. Three other freight cars loaded with rails, ties and railway iron also were carried so that the road could be repaired quickly in case of attack or If the Germans had torn up the line. The train on which the Americans traveled was one of the most extraordinary combinations of railway rolling stock ever seen. American doctors and officers had a third class sleeping car, while the nurses had a second class sleepers Both cars were' of ancient Russian -vintage and without water supply or heating facilities. Privates In Freight Cars. The French officers had sleeping cars, some Russian and some Rumanian, but the privates were compelled to use ordinary freight cars of nondescript types and two or three passenger cars. The engine dated back to 1S76 and burned wood which was picked up along the way; The engineer matched the engine. He was an- elderly Russian of Bolshevik opinion, and had to be fed with rubles and cognac almost as frequently as the engine required wood. He carried his family with him in a box car next to the engine and whenever meals or other domestic affairs required his attention he stopped the train and went "home" to his box car. Just outside Odessa the engineer became dissatisfied with the flow cf rubles and cognac and went on a strike. The French officers tried to reason with him, but he was obdurate and departed with the engine and the box cut, leaving the remainder of the train standing on the main line. He had chosen rather a critical time, for reports were current that the Germans were likely to reach the railroad at

any moment After some delay the French succeeded in finding another engineer and engine and the train proceeded.' , As a matter of fact German battalions entered Odessa -only 36 hours after the Americans passed through the city and it is probable that some of their advance parties already were In the suburbs at the time the engineer went on strike. The striker apparently suffered a change of heart soon after he left the train, for the next day when the train was a hundred miles or so beyond Odessa, he with his engine and "home" caught up with the train. He begged the French officers to take him back on their own terms. The French declined to reinstate the old ' engineer and the last seen of him be was taking his engine and box car backward on the return trip to south Russia.
