*• Mi’ 1 !V . ’ AVIATORS AS SCOUTS AND THE NAVALS AS GUNNERS. GERMAN TRAIN WRECKED. (Received. 12.35 p.m.) London, November 12. Our avi’ators detected a train crawling steadily towards our lines, and the British train steamed out of the fire zone. When the enemy’s train stopped four gigantic shells, exploded over it and laid portion of it in ruins. The shells came from the British 9.2 naval guns installed six miles away. The German engineers courageously'worked under a continuous fire to remove the damaged part from 'the rails, and they lost many lives. The shells did much damage, but failed to destroy the engine, which dragged the remains away at nightfall.
