Windows, seVeral hundred feet Digitized by VjOOQIC WAR TIME FRANCE 83 away, were shattered. I saw a five-story, wooden, frame house beyond St Pancras Sta- tion, which had been hit by a bomb, and it appeared as if a section 40x40x40 feet had been bodily cut from it. A bomb fell on a hotel near the one in which I was staying, killing several persons and wounding an American lieutenant in the arm. The British official report stated that fifteen people were killed during the raid, and seventy injur...ed. As a sample of what the German rulers tell their people, let us look at the official Ger- man report, as published next day : "Last night our airmen attacked England. Bombs were dropped on military buildings and warehouses in the heart of London. Fires gave evidence of the e£Fect. All our machines returned undamaged.'' I believe that I saw where everyone of the bombs dropped on London landed, and I later saw where some poor workman's home had been demolished at South End. After most careful inquiries, I could not find that a single bomb had been dropped on a military build- ing or a warehouse, nor were there any fires.
