$ ; Artillery on Planes, ,
:lAn official account of the raid says
tteit the alarm was sounded at 8:37
ojclock Friday evening and was pre
ceded by cannonading. French artil
lery opened fire at 8:54 o'clock, pro
ducing a violent curtain of fire from
alj military posts in the regions north
and northeast of Paris, which was
luaintained without interruption until
tjfe raiders departed.
'-Sixty-one defensive airplanes from
tlfr entrenched camps of Paris took
the air. 'A large number of enemy
machines were repulsed by the
atrial defense and did not succeed in
reaching Paris. These machines were
forced to drop bombs in considerable
numbers in' open fields tnd in the
suburbs.'-. -'
I Bombs Destroy Homes.
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. ' :.-, ' : ' . i
! During the raid on Paris, French
aviators near the front, who kept in
constant communication' with the
capital, took the air and bombarded
the airdromes from which the enemy
machines arose. , .
New arrangements for sheltering
the people, and other precautions
worked well and the authorities are
generally satisfied that the effects of
the raid were reduced to the lowest
degree possible. .

still remains on the west front where
the Teutons face the French. British,

. Nothing h found in the situation
by -the department to indicate that

- Intense air activities during the
week are noted, with the statement
that 214 enemy aircraft were brought

"Socialists the world over have op
