ing what enemy aviators could do to

paign of 'frightfulness" from Wash
ington to New York.
BY dropping bombs filled with a
harmless explosive, Thompson has
shown in startling manner just
what might happen to an American
city If an aviator Of q foreign gov
eminent should decide to give our
citizens taste of "frightfulness."
In this way, Thompson says, he

In Washington, a few days before
he arrived in New York, the aviator
dropped bombs ON the administration
buildings without arousing any great
excitement because most of the people
In the capital had read of his plan.
In New York, however, he gave the
people quite a scare. Many of them
did not know that the "raid" was only
