Dec. 30.-A large enemy fleet of air
planes participated in the air raid
over the city of Padua and nearby
towns on Friday night when thirteen
persons were killed and sixty wound
ed the majority Of the latter being

public squares near hotels. clubs, and
churches and from the manner in
which the raid was carried on un-
usual barbarism and personal bitter
ness were shown.
A bright moonlight favored the
raiders. who operated over wide
area. embracing the cities of Treviso.
Monte Belluna Castel Franco and
padua. This squadron first appeared
over Padua at p. m, when a deaf
ening bombardment fairly shook the
city. Explosions began in the suburbs
and gradually approached the center
of the city where the streets. hotels
and public places were filled with peo-
pic. One bomb struck I'm the middle
of the main square, opening n huge
crater and killing one person and
manning many. Another struck a wing
OF the famous palace OF Giustianiami
near the ST. Antonio church. where
the body of st. Anthony of Padua is
buried, killing three women, one OF
whom happened to he OF Austrian
birth, and one the wife of an Italian
officer who had just arrived in the
city on a holiday leave.
The Carmelite church and seminary
also were struck and the oldest house
In Nenetia, dating from 116O, was
damaged. One of the main hotels
near the central square and the Anglo
American club were rendered unln-
habitable from fallen plaster.
Two people were killed outright in
front Of the club. A member of one
of the foreign missions visiting the
city while going to his lodgings
stumbled over the headless body of a
woman. only six soldiers were among
tho 70 casualties.
The other cities within the raided
district escaped with little or no dam
age.
