them two officers. The American cas-.

GERMAN AIRMEN BOMB
BIG CANADIAN HOSPITAL

German airmen have bombed another
hospital-this time Canadian insti-
tution-and exacted a considerable toll
of casualties. Among those killed by
the explosion Of flames was an Amer
lean medical officer who was admin
istering an anaesthetic to a British
officer in the operating room when
that part of the hospital was demolish-
ed The raid occurred at 1890 o'clock
in the morning.
The hospital attacked was a large
one. 1t had been in existence since
the early day Of the war and was
marked by huge Red Cross signs. The
German airmen, working partly by
the light OF the moon. dropped four
bombs near the hospital and then not
apparently able to see exactly where
they were hitting. lighted a brilliant
Hare which was let fall to illuminate
the surroundings.
AS the place was lighted up by the
flare, they released another bomb or
two which dropped squarely on a. large
wing Of the hospital. In the wing
there were thre floors, on the bot.
tom one of which was the operating
room. On the story above were the
office and patients room and above
them were members of the hospital
personnel. Part OF the wing was de-
molished by the terrific explosion and
many unfortunate persons were killed
and wounded when the building COL
lapsed and buried them.
The surgeons were just about to
operate on an aviation officer and the
American medical officer was stand
ing by with the anaesthetic when the
crash came. All those in that room
were buried under an avalanche Of
brick and woodwork. The demolished
wing caught fire and burned fisrcely
with many victims still pinned In the
wreckage.

Been Brought Into Action.

PIunging southwark. with its mo-
machine has driven it's wedge into the
allieI lines along the front urtil it's
apex has reached the Marne river
south Of Fere-en-Tardenois. The des-
perate efforts Of the French and Brit
ish to stem the tide against the In
vaders have served only to slow down
the rate Of speed Of the German ad-
vance; the defenders OF the heights
north OF the Marne seem to have been
swept aside in the rush OF thte enemy
toward the road to Paris.
Aside from the movement Of the
German armies southwark, two other
significant incidents Of the tremendou /,
battle have occurred. One is that the
Germans have extended their attack to
the northwest. along the Ailette river.
from which the French have fallen
back for some distance. The other Is
that the battle has extended to the
east OF Rheims. which city. during the
first few days Of the battle formed the
extreme eastern end OF the line OF
battle.
Along the sides Of the salient form
ed by the rapid German advance to
the Marne the French and British
have been holding their positions gal
lantly. South of Soissons, the French
have defended their line with such
vigor that the Germans have not made
much impression upon It. On the 9TH
er side Of the battle area, the British
a,e still holding the forts OF Rheims
and positions just west Of that war
stricken city.
Between the extreme sides Of the
salient the front sags toward the
south, the line from Rheims to the
Marne running to the southwest at a
gentle angle. while the French are
holding front at right angles to the
direction of the German advance.

This platform recognizes the right OF
