Show ENGINEERS UNLUCKY. The American engineers who have been assisting the. British army in France are having hard luck. Quite a number of them wero caught in between the Germans and British when the Teutons Teu-tons made their great counter-attack a short time ago. So far we have a record rec-ord of thirteen men wounded, although al-though first and subsequent reports stated that some were killed and others captured. The engineers ' somewhere-behind somewhere-behind the British front, " have recently recent-ly suffered additional casualties. This time several of them were killed by German aerial bombs dropped in a town where the Americans were quartered. quar-tered. But those things arc to be expected ex-pected in a war where flying machines are used and we begin to realize that there is no absolutely safe place anywhere any-where near the front, for bombs are no respecters of persons. Before this time next year our own airmen will be dropping missiles of death upon the Germans Ger-mans and there are those who believe that the war will be decided in the air. |
