we have made slight gains.

ing mid windows being shattered. The
bomb struck only a block from the

bis home.
In the wnke of the bomb fluttered
a German flag. At the sound of the
explosion the promonndera in that lec
tion first rushed for sholler, and then,
as the airship moved on, they hurried
to the scene of the havoc.
A cordon of police was quickly
thrown about the debris' and the man
gled body ot the nian waa removed.
Near his body the girl was discovered
Her lower limbs had been shattered
Women in the crowd wept audibly as
