RAID CATTARO
Giant Machines Rained Bombs on
Austria'S Naval Base
at Night. +
MUCH DAMAGE IS REPORTED
Destroyers and Submarines in Harbor
Attacked With Good ResuIts-Sev-
eral Fires Started in Depots
and Storehouses.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Giant Cap
ropi airplanes rained bombs at night
upon the great Austrian naval base at
Cattaro, starting fires among the build
ings in the navy yard and causing
damage to Austrian ships in the har-
Dor. The Austrians met the attack
with the greatest vigor, but were un-
able to drive off the airplanes until
nearly daylight, when the Italians
withdrew to their own base without
loss.
Advices received here from Rome
indicate that the Italian attack was
planned to forestall an Austrian naval
demonstration being organized at Cat
taro and Pola.
The squadron started from it's base
23O kilometers (1426 miles) across the
Adriatic sea.
Gabrielle d'Annunzio, the italian
poet, who has attained distinction as
one of the most daring aviators in the
war, was In command Of one of the
airplaneS.
The squadron arrived at midnight
over Cattaro, flying at $4,000 feet.
The planes descended until they were
only few hundred feet over the har-
Dor and began to drop bombs on the
Austrian destroyers and submarines in
the bay, many of which were seen to
be hit, as fires were observed to break
out Immediately.
Meanwhile other Italian planes were
bombing the naval depOts and store
houses ashore, and several fires were
observed.
Several of the Italian planes were
riddled in their wings with shrapnel
and machine gun bullets, but were not
seriously damaged.
