Huns Expect Allied Aviators
Will Level Rhine Cities

With the French Armies In France,
May 23.-Germans captured by the
French testify to the brilliant work
of the Entente Allied aviators, who
the prisoners say, leave the Germans
no peace. Fears are expressed re-
garding future operations by Allied
airmen on the Rhine cities, which
they believe will be laid in ruins. The
Germans declare their anti-aircraft
defenses are insufficient to prevent
the Allies visiting either day or night
the Teuton camps, cantonments,
depots and airdromes, where, they
say, enormous damage already has
been done.
Other prisoners assert that En-
peror William hesitated long time
before starting the offensive this
year, but that General Ludendorff
obtained the upper hand by promis-
ing to force a peace by beating the
Allies by Easter. The Crown Prince,
with the military caste in Germany,
they say, succeeded in ejecting Ru-
dolph Won Valentini from power aft
er he had predicted catastrophe
for the German arms.

Powerful Air Raid Directed
Against Wounded Men
and Women
BARBARIAN is CAPTURED
Terrific Deluge of Explosives
Tears Red Cross to
Pieces
By Associated Press

With the British Army in
France, May 23.-German air
men again have bombed heavily
British hospitals in the area be-
hind the lines and this time have
killed and wounded some hun
dreds among the personnel and
patients of many different hos
pitals in the group.
Recorded in the casualty list are
the names of several sisters who
with other womenrnurses stood
bravely by their posts throughout a
terrific deluge of explosives.
Americans Escape
There is in the neighborhood one
large American hospital and an
other in which there are American
workers but neither of these ap.
pears to have suffered. Last sum-
mer a number of American doctors
and nurses were killed and wounded
when these same hospitals were
raided by the Germans.
This latest horror was perpetrated
Sunday hight, apparently by four
| squadrons of enemy planes which
appear to have comprised more
than a score OF machines. A great
number of bombs were dropped
about thirty per cent of them huge
affairs which dug vast craters in the
hospital grounds and the rest high
explosive shrapnel which sent Their
death dealing bullets tearing. in every
direction through the crov led hos
pital tents and buildings.
Barbarians Captured
A three-seated airplane was
brought down by gunfire while fly
ing at low altitude and the occu-
pants were made prisoners. The
enemy captain and the pilot sus-
, tained comparatively light shrapnel
wounds while the observer. was not
hurt. When questioned why he had
directed his men against hospitals
the captain explained in a matter
of fact way that he didn't see the
Red Cross sign. He said he was
seeking military objectives and had
no desire to molest hospitals.
With shrug of his shoulders the
German captain added that if the
British choose to build their hos
pitals near railways they must ex-
pect to get them bombed
Toll Taken of Wounded
The captain spoke excellent Eng
lish. Asked where he had learned
1T, he replied he had been in diplo-
matte service before the war.
Sunday nights raid was divided
into two phases. the first of which
began shortly after 10 o'clock and
lasted until IL o'clock. Not salts
fed with this the enemy returned at
ll.4O O'Clock and heavily bombed
hospitals filled with wounded men.
In one building which was dam
aged most seriously all the patients
were suffering from compound frac-
lures which made necessary their
limbs being strapped in the air.
Women Face Death BraveIy
Not a woman deserted her ward
but throughout the terrible bombing
each one kept going her rounds and
quteting the unfortunate men. who
might easily have done themselves
lasting haSm by springing from their
beds.
One sister was killed outright
while she was administering to the
soldiers wants and another was so
seriously hurt that she died shortly
afterward. Still another was diving
ko-day.
