ROlItRDAM, Dee 10-AH Antwerp
Is secretly laughing over the recent dis
cohhture OF Il large portion of the Ger

Wo aeroplanes OF the allies were seen ap-
preaching the city, dropping souvenirs Of
the bomb variety and also cheery mes
stages. The bombs were dropped with
such skill that the pontoon bridge across
the Seheldt, which demanded all the in
genuity and skill of the German engineers
to keep in anything like order, was once
more smashed.
The Germans opened fire, both in vol
leys and independently, but one daring
alrmau seemed to possess d charmed life.
for he flew over the city, waving to those
below and dropping messages which told
the inhabitants to be Of good cheer, for
their friends would be coming by Dee.

pected. and continued its evolutions Then

happening. For sheer devilment, and to
show his contempt for the poor shooting
of the Germans, the airmam was looping

In great rage at this insult, the Germans
once more opened fire, but their efforts
