Attached: "239250 F.C. S/169247 F.C. COPYRIGHT UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD, N.Y. FIRST PHOTOS OF GERMAN AIR RAID OVER PARIS. Upper photo - View of several of the houses which were wrecked by the bombs dropped by the Germans. These places of "military importance" to the German were the homes of the people who live in the poorer section of Paris. Lower photo - Bombs were dropped on the dormitory of a children's hospital, which fortunately had been vacated in time by the 200 children, and none were injured there. The building is a mass of wreckage. If the children had not been removed, doubtless every one of them would have been killed. Over a hundred were killed in the Paris air raid, practically all women and children. Many were seriously wounded. German air raids over Paris have been very few for they are very costly and usually the airmen do not come back. Several of the raiding planes were brought down by the French, and it is not likely that the Germans will attempt another raid soon again. 2/26/18."
