Many parts of the city were shelled and many buildings damaged, and scores of others destroyed. Fires were started in many places where inflam- matory proiectiles were stored. As employees and caretaSers rushed from these buildings they were struck down in the streets.
 That property damage was not high. or, owing Go tho great number of ex- plosiye and incendiary bombs dropped was due to the drastic lighting regula- tions. The Zeppelins, although flying over the heart of the city could not distinguish targets on which to com centrate thclr fire
