FRIGHTFUL RAID ON HANKOW KILLS MOTHERS AND BABES
Hankow, July 12,
The air raid alarm sounded at noon to-day, heralding the first raid in the Wu-Han area since April 29,
From early indications, it is estimated that the casualties were 100 dead and 200 wounded. The worst damaged section was around the Hupeh Provincial Hospital, the maternity ward of which collapsed, killing many patients. Correspondents saw the surviving mothers distractedly rocking and wailing over their babies only some days old.
The Christian Alliance Mission next door, flying the American flag, was missed by a few yards. The Chinese janitor's son wis killed. Half a block away three bombs flattened the hovels of the poor class, crushing many beneath the ruina.
United Press representatives saw the parents weeping over the body of their daughter, her head sticking from the wreckuge and blood bub- bing from her mouth.
