PARIS, Feb. 1. (by mall).—Paris
awoke this morning, or rather arose
from sleepless beds, with a shudder |
of horror that gradually became a
feeling of rage and a cry for vengeance '
and reprisals as the exaggerated
stories of the casualties attending the
German air raid were being circulated.
In spite of the fact that the visit
of the raiders had been expected and
that friends left one another on these
bright moonlit nights with the part
ing: "Shall we be ‘Gotha-ed’ tonight?”
the general alarm of the impending
air-raid first came as a distinct shock,
but the innate curiosity of the Par-!
isian promptly got the better of his
prudence and it was not long before j
there were heads protruding from j
nearly every window and the ppople j
began swarming into the sreets.
It has now been definitely ascer
tained that the correct number of,
casualties is thirty-six killed and one ,
hundred and ninety wounded. Four!
German squadrons crossed the French
lines, thirty-two machines in all, and
it is asserted in German communiques j
1 that thirty thousand pounik^uf e\-;
t plosives were rained 6vW tfiycttyTiXdj
! its suburbs.
J The amount of material damage ap
i pears to be rather small as compared
with the magnitude of the German
endeavor.
It was twenty minutes past eleven
when the first alarm was sounded
j and immediately the distant rumbling
| of the heavy anti-aircraft guns could
i
j be heard in the distance to the north ,
| Gradually it grew nearer and nearer
l and meanwhile the buzz of the motors I
i
; of the French airplanes, as one after
the other they rose to meet the on
coming Germans in battle and circled
over the city now and then flashing
j their lights, became louder and louder.,
I It gave the Parisians a feeling of se
j curity and pride.
I “They are sure ol a warm recep
j tion,” said one man in a window. “I
J think I’ll turn in and let them tight
| it out. I’ll read all about it in the
j morning papers.”
Then suddenly, deeper detonations
j were heard, hollow, muffled roars and
one knew that somewhere in the city ;
children and women were being j
slaughtered.
For two long, interminable hours
they kept at it and then the reports
became fainter and fainter and died
out altogether.
> All Paris was buzzing with excite
ment as the people went to the daily
routine of their work this morning
and the conversations heard in the
subway and other conveyances and
public places were of but one topic,
the raid. It was with stern visages
(hat they greeted, one another. If the
Germans had hoped to weaken the
morale of the civilian population they
made a mistake as execrations and
demands for reprisals were heard on
all sides. There was no whimpering,
no talk of letting up in the war: noth
ing hut the firm resolution to con
tinue fighting.
• “How can we make peace with such
such people as that?” said a gentle old
woman in mourning. The women
were very brave.
To one accustomed to the air raids
by entente aviators on cities in Bel
gium and iu the occupied territory of
France* the firing of the French anti
aircraft guns against the enemy ma
chines appeared feeble in comparison
with the formidable bombardment with
vhich the Germans greet the entente I
naehines.
This was explained to the Associ
tted Press by a French officer as due
0 the fact that it is dangerous to fire j
shrapnel and shells into the sky over
1 city of the size of Paris as the casu-!
ilties from the Filling of the very
shells destined for the enemy might be
arger than the damage done by their
)\vn bombs.
“Of course," said the officer, “the
Germans need ha\e no such scruple;
:hey care little how many French and
Belgian civilians they kill.”
During the raid, Montmartre pres
ented an appearance which under less
tragic circumstances should have been
somical. Bearing mattresses and bed
covers citizens of the “hill” entered
the stations of the Metropolitan un
derground and settled themselves com
fortably for the night. One woman
carried with her the cage of her pet
canary, while a boy led his pet rabbit
Into the safety of the shelter.
LARGE CHINESE DISTRICT
IS FACING STARVATION
PEKING, Jan. 23 (by mail).-—Seven
ty-five thousand persons in the flooded
district southwest of Tientsin are fac
ing death by starvation and exposure,
according to a report by the North
China Christian Flood Relief Com
mittee. Similar conditions on a small
er scale obtain in other parts of the
flooded area.
While the water has drained away
from the larger part of the flooded
area, the Wen-An Hsien district still
forms' a lake some two thousand
square miles in extent, approximately
triangular in shape, with Tientsin at
the apex. Here the water, which at
its height was twenty feet, still
reaches a depth of fifteen feet.
The district is all below the level
of the rivers which enclose it and the
water cannot drain off, but must gradC
ually disappear by evaporation and
percolation—a process which at the
best will probably require five years.
In some of the river bends there
have been accumulations of ice which
have so checked the flow of the water
that it has broken out again in fresh
places and reflooded certain areas, de
stroying the winter wheat. In one
district the people had sown wheat
three times as the water gradually
drained off, and the third time it took
root, only to be finally destroyed by
these new winter floods.
The suffering of destitute villagers
is described in a letter from Anping as
follows:
"The cold has cost many lives for
the people are largely without fuel and
in many cases have no winter clothes.
One of the agents recruiting workmen
for roadntaking found in one village
that ten people had succumbed in a
few days. The destitution is increas
ing and the suffering growing more
Intense.”
