WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. May 31.-(By Associated
Press.)-German airmen made a pre-.
tentious raid on the area behind the
American lines in Picardy last night.
Bombs were dropped on all sides OF
the largest hospitals in a town many
miles 10 the rear of the front. Amcri.
can and French wounded soldiers we're
carried to cellars and caves by Ameri.
can nurses and members OF the Ameri.
can Red Cross.
Only a few persons were injured by
flying glass as most OF the windows in
the hospitals had been shattered by
bombs dropped the previous night.
That the raid was planned on a much
larger scale than recent ones over this
territory is evidenced by reports made
by many Americans in villages over
which the raiders passed.
The Germans came i'm wave forma.
tions and then scattered widely. One
squadron dropped bombs a few hun.
bred feet from an American field hos.
pltal ana az the same time one OF the
long range guns shelled a village a few
hundred yards away In some in
stances the bombs fell within 30 and
80 feet Of hospital building but for.
tunately there were no direct hits.
A French nurse, her mother and two
little sisters were killed in a house a
short distance from the hospital. An.
other nurse was standing on the upper
floor Of the hospital ministering to pa.
tents when piece of bomb struck
her piercing her lung.
Five American nurses we're IN the
same hospital, hey were Miss Natalie
Scott, Of New Orleans, Miss Helen
Spalding, Of Brooklyn; Miss Mary Nc
Cadlish, Of Atlanta; Miss Blanche Gil
bert. of Cleveland, and Miss Constance
Cook, OF Francisco.
1T was an exciting time" said Miss
Scott, but there was no panic. Some
OF our boys actually slept through /,
all. although their beds we're showered
with broken glass.

the Central West Virginia had every

The operator producing $50 tons has
the same authority and power as the
