ARMOURED CARS
Surprise for Customs Official Berlin, June 4. A surprise awaited a French Customs official at St. Ludwig station, on the Alsatian frontier, when he seized and opened an enormous chest weighing nine tons, which was addressed to the "Emperor of Ethiopia.” The chest was found to contain a new Swiss motor-car with a specially constructed body enabling small guns and machine-guns to be mounted. Several smaller chests inside the car were filled with arms. Officials are investigating the matter.
