Paris. Sept 2s-F'our bombs were
dropped on the city from German
aeroplane Sunday. One missile, explod-
ing In Avenue Du Trocadero at the
corner Of Rue Freyoinet, blew the head

ter and crippled the child. The other
bombs did little damage.
Crowds, taking advantage of beauti-
full autumn day, were promenading on
the banks of the Seine when the aerial
warrior appeared almost directly over
the Eiffel tower. It is believed that the
first bomb dropped was intended for
the wireless station or the tower or
possibly for the nearby buildings con-
tanning army stores.
It landed in Avenue Du Trocadero,
not far from the tower. and the ex-
plosion was heard for many blocks. The
houses in the vicinity ~sere badly dam
aged. many Of the wallis cracking and
windows being shattered.
The bomb struck only block from
