ALLIED RAIDS !
DOING DAMAGE
TO HUN TOWNS
LONDON, Oct. 1.—The increasing
destructiveness of allied air raids is
attested to by German prisoners.
While statements nf this kind must
generally he treated with reserve. ,
tin re is evidence that this particular ,
inie! ination i \ery near the truth.
Valenciennes station was heavily j
bombed by British airmen recently
A prisoner subsequently stated that
for a number of days following the j
rai«‘s trains were unable to pass
through Valenciennes as a big engi- j
tieer dump had been hit and barrels ;
of oil and explosives were burning!
and blowing up.
A raid was made upon an ammuni j
tion dump near Marais wood, and sev |
eral photographs taken during the raid j
showed the explosion A party of (
prisoners rapt tired later volunteered 1
the information that the dump blew
up and that the moral effect was enor
mous.
A prisoner is responsible for the
statement that not long ago an ammu
nition train was hit and blew up in
Valenciennes, a fact which fully con-*
firms the British official report that
direct hits were obtained upon a mov
ing train at Valenciennes on the night
of May :M
Still another report hv a recently
ruptured prisoner records that a saw
mill at Somain managed h> a German
and employing l.*io workmen was com
pletely destroyed, as a result of an
air raid. Somain was bombed by the 1
British airmen
