Summary

Description

A modern "Horse of Troy": A Roumanian ruse de guerre
MEN INSTEAD OF GRAIN: ROUMANIAN SOLDIERS SURPRISING THE ENEMY AT GHEMESH STATION.

After the declaration of war between Roumania and Austria-Hungary--on the first day of hostilities—the Roumanians sprang a surprise on the enemy at Ghemesh Station. The Roumanians asked that a Hungarian train might be fetched back from the Roumanian side of the frontier, and the enemy, thinking to find it full of grain, agreed, and sent an engine. On its arrival at the station, there poured forth, not grain, but Roumanian soldiers. The Hungarians in the station were so surprised that hardly a shot was fired except by men at a distance. The incident is a modern variant of the classic legend.—[Drawing Copyrighted in the United States and Canada.]
