Although the raiders came , in larger numbers than on any previous raid, the bombs dropped in the in habited districts were far less numer ous and they did very little or no qamage. t President Poineare visited the places where bombs had fallen and spoke a kindly word of encourage ment to the people whose homes had been destroyed.

We do no consider opposition to a condition or policy as equivalent to breaking or violating the laws of the country.
