People Flee in Terror.

The appearance of the gas bombs has
changed the feeling here about these
air raids At first the people were on
tho watch for the explosions, and over
such wide area the individual dan
ger was comparatively slight So
crowds gathered and watched the hos
tile airships. Now. however. tho wide
spread effect OF a gas bomb has terri
ned the poorer people and they fee to
places of refuge whenever the rumor
circulates that the aircraft are COM
ing. The city authorities also were at
first principally concerned in the dan
gers to the art treasures of Venice. but
now they realize that the gas bombs
greatly increase the danger to the CT
william population.
In the three raids made thus far the
first two were with explosive shrapnel
bombs and the last one. November il,
with the asphyxiating bombs. None OF
these raids has reached the main points
sought-the arsenal and the railway
station-but they have caused damage
at nearby points, notably the destruc-
ton of the ScalZi Church, near the rail-
way station, the explosions on the quay
fronting the Place San Marco, and.
finally, the gas bombs in the poor quar-
ter near the arsenal
