last communication There las been mining
ACTIVITY on both sides, without important

lncendinry bombs, ana despite heavy Smelling

naturally aroused IN the nelghbourhuoI
where the incendiary and explosive bombs
fell, yet even these caused no panic, but !

determination cf LoDloners to crush The
brutaIlzel sprrt inspiring such seuaele,S
