PAHIS, Jan. 31. Several bombs
were dropped by tho Zeppelin which
flow over tho outskirts of Paris last
ulcht, but they produced no such
damago as on tho occasion of the
raid ot Saturday night, when a score
of pcoplo woro killed and sovcral
buildings demolished. Tbo official
press bureau gave out tho following
statement this merning:
"A German dlrlglblo set out In tho
direction of Paris, whoro it arrived
soon after 10 p. m. It was bombard
ed by our special batteries and at
tacked by our aeroplanes. Ucfore
roturnlni? northward It dropped a
number of bombs which, according
to tho news received so far, did no
damage." Q
No Dnmago Ilrault.s
llopresentatlves of tho .Matin who
visited tho sccno of tho raid say that
no dnmngo was dono by tho bombs.
Tho censors permitted foreign cor
respondents to telegrnph whatever
details thoy could obtain, but tbo
Paris morning papers hnvo many
blank spaces.
Five French aeroplanes engaged
tho Koppolfn whlph on Saturday nli;ht
lant, dropped bombs on Paris, killing
and wounding over two scoro of per
sons, according to an authordntlvo
statement issued today. TAo first to
attack tho German raider was a ma

badly damagod.

Tho Zeppelin was next plckod up
bv n sub-lieutenant as it flow over tbo
suburbs wostward. Ho wont up to
within 50 to 100 yards of the airship
and stuck (Jo bis quarry with grim
