RELATED BY ALL EYE-WITNESSES OF THE BATTLE ON THE CONCORDE BRIDGEHEAD, | WHERE MOST OF THE CASUALTIES OCCURRED.

Before dawn, it will be impossible to get a complete picture of the destruction and the cost, but the Prefect of Police has already. announced that twelve persons were killed and between five and six thousand wounded, or otherwise injured.

For five hours, the Place de la Concorde resembled a battlefield, in which a grim struggle swayed to and fro between Republican Guards and a mob of over thirty thousand. Time and again, it seemed that the Guards must be overwhelmed and once the mob forced its way right to the steps of the Chamber of Deputies to be met with a direct fire from troops on guard,

Scores of infantrymen filled the darkened Chamber from where the Deputies watched the frightful scenes of shooting and destruction.

Mr. Wallace Carroll, a member of the United Press staff, picked up the dead body of a citizen lying in the street and tried to lift the body into his automobile.

The crowd snatched the body away and carried it through the streets, shouting: "This is Revolution."

CHAMBER UNDER SIEGE

HUGE CROWD FIGHTS LIKE A PACK OF DEMONS

RUTHLESS POLICE DRIVE AT MIDNIGHT

PARIS, FEB. 7. SCENES WERE WITNESSED IN PARIS LAST NIGHT WHICH FEW EYE-WITNESSES WILL EVER FORGET. THOUSANDS WERE KILLED AND WOUNDED. NO ACCURATE ESTIMATE CAN POSSIBLY BE MADE YET. GRAVE RIOTS WERE FEARED, BUT. THE REALISATION DREADFULLY, EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS.

Rioting bogan at dusk when crowds utterly beyond control overwhelmed the police station- ed in the Place de là Concorde and wrecked kiosks and tobacco shops and set afire motor buses and private cars...

The police exercised every restraint in the early stages of the combat, during which one woman was shot dead when the police were compelled to fire inflicting heavy casualties on the rioters, who forced their way right to the railings of the Chamber of Deputies, where the Government was virtually in a state of siege. No- body was allowed to leave the building, although a number of wounded were taken in

HUNDREDS SHOT DOWN

As the night wore on, so the rioters were rapidly reinforced and a grim battle ensued, with the police finally firing with their revolvers right and left, hun- dreds falling before their bullets: Cafes were wrecked in historic, streets, for example, the Faubourg St. Honore, which was littered with wounded people and misalca, torn and bloodstained clothing.
