GERMANS FLEEING RHaNE TOWNS
Mannheim Terrified BY Worst Raid Of
sWar-Many Killed.


Geneva. Switzerland. July s.-South
German newspapers. in order to re-
assure the nervous and angered popu-
latfons of towns along the Rhine, at
tempt to explain away as unimportant
the aerial bonn bardment Of Mannheim
on Saturday morning. 1t was really the
most terrible raid on German town
during the war. The Germans off!cilly
announced that five were killed ana
fourteen were wounded, but the figures
could be quadrupled. Several victims
were, unfortunately allied officers, who,
disdalning shelter, cheered the allied
aviators.
The residents of Mannheim also were
chagrined In witnessing five or six Ger
man machines running away from the
British. Three Of the former were
brought down in flames near the town.
The Badischc anilinc and soda factory,
upon which bombs fell. -olazed for many
hours. One of the largest banks was
wrecked, It's Office furniture being
blown into the principal street of the
city. he population, already nervous
before the raid, is now panic stricken.

AS general headquarters" is the brain
OF the army from which all orders
emanate, so 1.-The base" Is IN very
large measure the heart, whence the
blood circulates to the. remotest paris
of the body
A visit to the base shows that 1t IS
something far bigger and more com
prehensive than camp; it Is dis
trict. It's center is town of size and
Importance; town whose church
spires and towers render 1t Vlslple
from a long distance, while its rail-
wavs and street car lines present a
busy scene during all hours Of the day
and night. There is a large civilian
population, carrying on business as
usual, though air raids are frequent
and demolished houses are constant re-
minders Of ever present danger. The
town hall has been badly damaged, ana
shot hole from long Iange naval
gun can be seen in the tower.
In the streets of the town people
Of all five continents jostle each other.
There are the French, civilian and mil
itary; there are. British troops Of al
ranks and descriptions, even the khaki
clad women of the auxiliary army
corps; there are. Australians, Canad-
ians Americans, Belgians, Chinese,
East Indians, and African negroes. The
latter make excellent transport driy-
ers while the Chinese are employed on
ordinary labor of various kinds.

from the town. and their Y; nearest
neighbors are the inhabitants Of a Ger
man prisoner-of- camp. who can
be- seen daily at work in leisurely
manner on a military railway. Their
work in the open has tanned them to
an almost African brown and the slen-
der size OF their guard suggests that
they are very well contented with their
lot and not at all anxious to attempt
escape.
In the town itself can be seen guns
by the hundred, parked as close as they
can possibly be packed. Outside the
town are other parks Of artillery and
wagons and dumps Of munitions and
engineering materials. There are
camps everywhere.-some for men
waiting to 60 up the line. others for
those who are employed more or less
permanently at the base on transport
and other duties Hospitals are stu
ated here, too. always on the sites most
favorable for fresh air and sunlight.
The quarters Of the base commandment,
the base cashier. the ordnance OFFICER
and other important officials are situ-
ated in the town itself.
Notices in both French and English
are posted everywhere about the place
and polite military police are on duty
at cross roads and other points of i'm
portance.

An Atlantic Port, July 6.-Destruc-

and by American and British Destroy
ers conveying them was described by
passengers who arrived here yester-
dav on an English liner
The transports, one Of which was
carrying 1000 American soldiers to
Europe, accounted for three Of the u
boats, and the destroyers sank the
other two, according to the voyagers.
Officers OF the liner confirmed their
stories.
y The passengers witnessed the tor

A moment later, however, an Amer

surface and dropped depth bomb,
making q direct hit, according to the
story related here. The same evening
U-boat was sighted by the passenger
vessel, whose gunners sank it by she'll
fire
The other three submarines were de-
stroyed, according to the returned
travellers, on Tho eastward trip Of an
other convoy. They declared that a
large British transport with 1000
American troops aboard, rammed Il
submersible which was revealed with
two others In the sudden lifting Of u

Almost simultaneously with the dis
appearance Of the first submarine be-

The plan provides for the rationing
OF gas. electricity and coal on a coat
consumption basis at the rate of tllre.,
and one half tons Of coal for two
rooms In dwelling house. For other
rooms alton each is allowed. Beyond
that the consumer will not be allowed
