GERMANS AGAIN s~
BOMB HOSPITALS
Airmen Hit Red Cross Buildings Which
Were Attacked Before, Killing or

Press.-British Red Cross hospitals have
again come under the German bombing

1890 o'clock Friday night, and the hos
pital airmen raided the same group Of
hospitals which suffered on May 10. Sev-
eral hospitals were hit, and the casualty
list among patients and workers is con-
siderable
One hospital was almost demolished
when an enemy aviator dropped an ex-

by letting fall brilliant fare which
lighted up the whole district. One sister
was killed at this place and several
others wounded, one of the latter prob
ably fatally.
The raid lasted two hours, but, thanks
to the fact that most of the hospitals
were not crowded, the casualties were
much lighter than in the previous bonn
bardment. One hospital, which had a
large number of wounded men in it, was
bombed, but owing to lucky cireum-
stances comparatively few were killed or
wounded. The precautions taken saved
a heavy loss of life.
In one hospital one ward was de-
stroyed and two other wards were dam

The Battle Fields of Europe.

The battle fields of Europe
Today are rocking red,
And weighed with the burden
OF inundated dead.
The murderous machine gun
Its song internal sings,
And air bisecting monsters
Go by on lethal wings.
The battle fields of Europe
Are like as fields of He'll,
With yields Of death and agony
And rcap't by shot and she'll.
From shrinking flesh unready,
The soul is called too soon,
And the dread clouds of conflict
. Obscure the sun at noon.
The battle fields of Europe
Beneath one harvest groan;
The fatal, foul fruition,
When dragon IS teeth are ,sowu:
Unheardof horrors happen;
Unheard-of crimes are done;
And black abysmal ruin
Meets everywhere the sun.
Man out of dust God fashioned,
But in this age of blood
In the accursed trenches
That flesh is turned to mud.
Louder than crash of cannon,
Or the exploding bomb,
The battle fields of Europe
Cry out for Christ to come.
