LONDON, March 19.-Fifty per-
sons were killed and great damage
was done by bombs dropped by allied
airplanes when they raided Coblenz,
Germany, on March IL, according to
neutral traveller who arrived Mon
day at the Hague, the Times says.
"The people believed the raiders
were Americans" the traveller said.
Il was in the neighborhood Of big
munition works at Mulheim, north Of
Coblenz, and also on the Rhine, at
ten minutes past noon when suddenly
all the factory whistles started blow
ing and the sirens were sounded.
Many women rushed from the works
for the bomb-proof shelters, while
passing street cars were stopped as
the crews bolted into houses. Four
or five airplanes were visible In the
clear sky.
Presently some one exclaimed:
They are Americans!' Another per.
son screamed aloud: The Americans
are coming!' A Dutchman knew

The neutral traveller added that al
though the machines merely passed
over Mulheim. on their way to Coblenz
1t was not until four o'clock that the
"all clear" signal was sounded.
Capital Of Province.
Coblenz is the capital Of the Rhine
province Of Prussia. The British war
office announced on March II that on
that day British aviators had dropped
ton of bombs on factories. stations
and barracks at Coblenz. The attack
was made In daylight and two hres
and a violent explosion were seen to
have been caused by the bombs.
Berlin always has denied any SER

over German territory. but II fifty
we're killed at Coblens, the British
raid resulted in more serious loss
than ever have been reported from
Germany before.
