FRIGHTFUL AIR-RAID IN MADRID
Madrid, Later.
The capital's most frightful air-raid so far occur- red last evening, attended by widespread destruction and a very heavy death roll. The raiders rained powerful aerial torpedoes and incendiary shells on the city, not- ably in the quarter between the Atcoba Square, the Calle de Leon and the Cortes Square. Buildings were set on fire, including the Provincial and San Carlos Hospitals, and lurid flames illuminated the sky. The impotent po- pulation, demented by the crashing bombs and the rattle of anti-aircraft guns, began to emerge and assist in the rescue work, when a second visitation was started. ----- Renter.
