ONLY ONE WOUND
 OUT OF 300 CAUSES MAJOR AMPUTATION

Paris Sept. S-A German Taube aeroplane this morning passed over the Rue de Ia. Michodfete near where a bomb was dropped yesterday.
 The aeropIane was at a great height and seemed to be heading for the Eiffel Tower.
 As it passed over the Place de POpera soldiers opened a sharp rifle fire but the machine kept on it's course. It was probably armored.
 Everybody on the boulevards dash ed across to the side from where the aeroplane was visible. Women langh- ed and joked but some of them were frightened tand begged E1aeir husbands to go inside, to escape possible bombs.
 The men replied: Don't worry; we want to see how a bomb drops.''
 Parisians are anxious to see wheth- CT the new French aerop1ane squadron formed to chase the German flyers is effective.
 The Germans are flying at a speed of sixty miles an hour and in addi- ton to this is the difficulty of dis tinguishing a French from German aeroplane.
 There is full confidence here that Paris will not be subjected to bonn bardment. The reason given for this belief is that the outer line of forts, tween them by crossfire, are seven and a half miles from the notifications, which Is beyond the range of siege guns.
 The official news today that the Germans have gained ground on our left 9 means of course, that the GeH- mans are nearer Paris than they were yesterday, but it Is believed that when the invaders get still closer to the capital they will be caught between the Pa is forts and the army of de- fense on one side and the allied arm 1eS in the field on the nther

 One feature of the war so far is the small proportionate number of cases of wounds requiring amputation. A man who arrived here from Nantes told the correspondents that there was only one amputation case out of 300 wounded who were taken to that city, Arrangements have been made by the Red Cross to have word sent to the relatives of all wounded men as soon as they are taken to a hospital and a bulletin of their condition once a week. The notification will be in the form of a special postal card to be sent free
 W LII d N10W or keSpInS the Sp1T- its of the soldiers at the front the Minister of War, Mi1lerand has au- l thorized the famous Breton poet and singer Theodore Botrel author of La Paimpolaise'' and several other popu- lar pieces, to go to sing patriotic songs Tn the depots, camps and hospitals Of the eastern and northern armies. The exodus from Paris continues It is impossible to get a taxicab. One of the consequences is that the streets are filled with people, many of wrom are weak or old, carrying heavy bag gage.
 The Cabinet has called on all French citizens to cooperate in the main | tenance of order and the protection Of private property.
 The Comte vioux Paris is appar- ently lending no ear to the possi bi1ity that German bombs or guns may de- stroy the old landmarks of Paris the conservation of which is in the hands 1 e the committee.
