BY international Nevo Service

NEW YORK. Oct. IA. ~ Railroad
stocks and a small number of the
indusrrials and specialties continued
their rally at the beginning Of trad.
ing today, principally as a result Of

tied to the stocks which showed
their ability to draw away from
the market in general near the
close Of yesterdays session.
Bulls in General Motors, Allied
Chemical. Thinker and one or two
of the rails marked up prices
point or two at the expense of the
shorts.
These stocks drew the bulk of
the spotlight. Thinker, q newcomer
to the active list, rushed up to 1914,

Women and Children Fell Vic
Tins to Shells as They
Ran Through Streets


London. May 20--(AP)-More than
o ooo civilians and about 100 rebels and
~ french have been killed in bonn
oardment by the French forces of the
Mldan quarter of the city of Damas-
GUS says . dispatch to the Daily Ex-
press. Three hundred houses were
destroyed.
There has been no confirmation of
the dispatch. which was dated Nav o.
The latest bombardment is said to
have been that announced May IL as
Q comparatively small affair, involy
ing the deaths of about so Druse
rebels.
Trouble Started May 6
The trouble began May s, when the
Druse rebels attacked French military
posts, killing or capturing % SOL
diers.
The raiders took refuge in the Mi
dan, or southern section of Damas-
Gus.
The French commander ordered q
bombardment of the quarter, after
giving the inhabitants an hour to get
outside the range of his guns. Either
few people took advantage of the op-
cient. shells, bullets or falling houses
killing more than 600 persons, includ-
ing women and children.
Before the bOmbardment, 5000
French troops surrounded the quar-
ter. which had $4,000 Inhabitants.
They demanded that the inhabitants
surrender the rebels. The inhabi-
tants said that they were without
arms and unable to comply, but in
vited the French to come in and cap
ture the rebels.
Because the rebels were harricad-
ed, the French commander thought
that entry into the quarter would
mean serious sacrifice to his soldiers.
When the time was up. the French
opened upon Midan with IL three-inch
guns: four howitzcrs and q dozen
airplanes. The bombardment lasted
Panic Followed
General panic followed, women and
children ran aimlessly through the
streets. falling victims to bursting
shells or collapsing houses.
The male inhabitants Of the quarter
joined the rebels in combating the
French. During the bombardme mt.
10 rebels escaped through the French
lines into the open country, and were
joined by several hundred persons of
the bombarded section, who desired
revenge against the French.
The shelling of Midan constitutes
the most serious incident in French
Syria since the French General Sar-
MIS- bombardment Of the ancient city
last October. At that time some thou
sands Of persons were killed in AZ
hours Of shelling.
There is no report that the latest
incident had one of the shocking fea-
lures of the October terror, namely,
the massacre of Christians and Ar
menians by the infuriated Moslem
populace.
