Eye Witness Describes Raid OF, Paris

Washington. July 29.-writing Of a
German air raid on Paris. one of the
American Red Cross inspectors gives
thrilling account of how American
troops and Red Cross workers gives
aid to the city in such desperate
moments. He describes an air raid
in this fashion:
Nowhere is there any sound but the
echoes of footsteps Not street light
is to be seen, not a single ray of light
impenetrable darkness. Then all of
the noise OF the world seems to break
loose. Clang-cla blang booms the
tocsin-7like a gigantic pneumatic
riveter working on colossal bell.
Whooo-o shrieks the siren. running up
and down the scale in an awful wall
The streets come to life. Doors
open and slam shut. The sidewalks
are full of ghost1y figures hurrying to-
wards the caves, where the inhabitants
have fitted up cots and hunks They
get up now to make a sitting place for
the new corners. The place fills up.
Everyone looks apathetic. sleepy and
bored. The children go to sleep with
their heads on their mothers shoulder.
and a girl in the uniform Of street
car conductor swaps war yarns with a
poilu in dingy blue. In the last raid
the front trucks of her car were
thrown from the rails by the displace-
ment of air caused by an exploding
torpedo. The car and its inmates were
unhurt. The polu looks a mite in
credulous and murmurs, I can well
believe you. mademoiselle.'
"Outside the noise continues for
about three or four minutes and then
subsidies as new noise starts-the
Arches. or antiarcraft guns. which
commence to bark furiously from half
a dozen different points. Searchlights
rake the sky. The Arches continue
their clamor. but they are not firing
at anything. merely keeping up bar
rage fire to prevent the boche from
flying over the city.
Suddenly there is an earthrocking
