In addition TO scores of wounded.
"The next morning / found that
three of the bombs had fallen and ex-
ploded on the doorstep of the house
where 1 was stopping, tearing great
holes six feet in diameter. / found
several unexploded bombs nearby, Of
the shape of footballs, but consider
ably larger in size"
After the attacking squadron had
retired, according to the passengers,
1t was found that one Of the enemy
planes had been brought down. The
people of Paris, the passengers said,
were of the opinion that the raid was
by way Of reprisal for what French
fliers had done over German cities"

witness accounts of one of the tremen-

brought by passengers arriving at this
port on French steamship recently.
One Of the passengers, in position to

over nine tons of explosive bombs had
been dropped during two-hour siege.
One American ambulance driver
alone according to a passenger, picked
up 20 bodies during the night.

blackness, except the flash Of the de-

city, and, occasionally, the sizzling
trail OF a bomb.
French machines had risen to the
attack at the first signal, but they
were greatly handicapped by the dark

could be plainly heard and there were
several clashes, but for the most part
the French fliers went winging blindly
