The terrific power of those air
bombs! One of them may wreck a
great building. They burst open
the bodies and skulls and bones
of people. l reached Barcelona 3
days after Frances Italians had
severely bombed the great city.
Tho old Cathedral was hit; many
places of business; residences st.
filled with people.
A man has just told me, II pick
ed up three brains one big and
two little ones. l guess they were
of some mother and two children"
The bomb had burst the skulls
blown out the brains; the clean
ers had come and moved the body
fragments and had overlooked the
brains. The brains were still warm
when my informant wrapped them
in a piece of newspaper.
Areial bombing of civilian non
combatants is certainly murder of
the most horrible sort.
Those Italian boys are %practic-
ing on these people, practicing up
for England and France. Blu he
that takes to the bomb will die
by the bomb. The people Of Italy
have brains in their skulls, and
England and France have bombs
in their arsenal-and perhaps as
much hardness Of heart in their
psychology as have Italians.
These air fleets sneak over from
the rebel islands, ros the city
at a great speed, releasing bombs
as they go, then race back to their
island base. In a great city, nearly
every bomb will strike some build
ing or land in some great street
where people are taking refuge.
DEVILS missiles do not have to be
aimed when they arc fired upon
a great city.
The destroying power is indies
cribable. The pictures shown in
literature in America give only a
hint of it. If one walks through
the streets afterwards, the wreck
age is frightful-broken bits, bits
ef things and bits of human bo-
dies.
But life goes on: the bodies are
removed, wreckage cleared rebuild
ing begun. People are buying, sell
ing, banking, loving, waiting mar
rying-laughing and singing. They
are a good-looking people these
Galatians, many dark or brunette
with the shadow of africa from
thousands of years back.
Incidentally, some of the great
est heroes in the fighting on the
Ebro are American Negro boys
and heroes of the ships that have
brought in food are African Ne
groes on English ships.
