ers, Of whom there were four, not only
chose for their objective a town in
which there is absolutely no military es-

Of their attack the hour when the mar
ket place was crowded. Over this spot
the German aviators lowered and
dropped bombs which killed many
women and children. besides inJurlng
others.
This morning as a reprisal a squad

Artillery combats continued on the

our batteries caused great damage TO
the German trenches. In the region of

artillery duel was particularly lively.
