Paris, Jan. 31.-Fragments of pro-
iectivcs dropped by the Germans and
examined at the municipal laboratory
show that bombs of three kinds were
used by the invaders, according to
rlntransgneant.
They were winged tcrpedoes,
Weighing from 160 to 200 pounds, eX-
plosive bombs and incendiary bombs,
the two latter bursting a minute after
falling. No traces of asphyXiatlng
gas bombs were found.
The total number of bombs dropped
is estimated at seventy.
American Red Cross ambulance
workers assisted in removing victims
To hospitals. The entire ambulance
personnel was modified and had
their machines waiting for calls with

ment of the raid.
Visit Scene of Bombing.
President Poncare, Premier Glenn
enceau and General Dubail, military
governor of Paris Joined the great
crowds of other Parisians in visiting
the localities where bombs had fallen.
The president visited personally n
large number of the injured.
In the street crowds the conversa-
ton turned chiefly upon the amazing
midnight battles in the air of which
not much was seen, except the spark
ling signal lights and remote flashes
of the machine guns.
Representatives of the Associated
Press heard various street discussions
as to the psychology of the German
attacks. The common opinion was
that they would be tonic to the
fighting spirit of the French rather
than depressing in their effect. A
predominant feeling seemed to be
that there should be such reprisals by
the French as would convince the
Germans that it was not worth while
to drop bombs upon non-combatants.

raid as a great dramatic spectacle
All signs of it having had any moral
effect on the populace was absent

stories of the raid and eliminated al

London, Jan. 3l.-The Marquis of
Lansdowne in an address today said
that he concurred entirely with the
recent speeches of David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister,
and President Wilson on peace aims.
Il believe all of us are ready to
prolong this war, as terrible as it is,
until we can get a clean peace" said
the leader of the opposition in the
house of lords.
Lord Iansdowne added that the
time for obtaining such a peace could
not be too long delayed and that no
opportunity should be neglected to
bring it nearer.
Delay Is Opposed
Lord Lansdowne was replying to an
address presented by Earl Loreburn,
former lord high chancellor, and 9TH
ers of his supporters. including au-
thors and journalists.
But it is our desire" the speaker
said, that the time for obtaining a
clean peace, should, if possible, not be
too long delayed, and that no oppor-
tunity should be neglected for bring
ing it nearer
by a clean peace I mean peace
which will be honorable and dura

tavors International Court.
Continuing, Lord Landsdowne said
there was only one way of getting this
peace and that was by forming a COM
bination of great powers under which
the powers would hold themselves
bound to refer international disputes
to some kind of international tribunal.
Lord Lansdowne, asked if it would
not be true that if the cohesion of
Germany could be obtained to such a
pact it would mean the negation of
Prussian militarism. He said there
would be no room for Prussian mill
tarism inside such a combination.
Self-determinatiOn Urged.
The speaker said he accepted
whole-heartedly the suggestion of Mr..
Lloyd George that territorial questions
should be settled on the basis of ma
tional self-determination. The speech
OF Count Won Hertling, the imperial
German chancellor, was disappoint-
ment to him, Landsdowne added.
Il think nobody would be more
surprised than Won Hertling," the
speaker said, "f he thought we were
going to hand over Gibraltar, Hong
Kong and some other little quarters
of the earth"
