HOSPITALS BLOWN TO BITS BY HUN FLYERS NURSES BRAVELY SACRIFICE LIVES BEFORE TOLTUR' Powerful Air Raid Directed Against Wounded Men and Women BARBARIAN IS CAPTURED Terrific Deluge of Explosives Tears Red Cross to Pieces By Associated Press With the British Army in France, May 23.—German air men again have bombed heavily British hospitals in the area be hind the lines and this time have killed and wounded some hun dreds among the personnel and patients of many different hos pitals in the group. Recorded in the casualty list are the names of several sisters who with other women '-nurses stood bravely by their posts throughout a terrific deluge of explosives. Americans 10 scape There is in the neighborhood one large American hospital and an other in which there are American workers but neither of these ap pears to have suffered. Last sum mer a number of American doctors and nurses were kiUed and wounded when these same hospitals were raided by the Germans. This latest horror was perpetrated Sunday flight, apparently by four squadrons of enemy planes which appear to have comprised more than a score of machines. A great number of bombs were dropped, about thirty per cent of them huge affairs which dug vast craters in the hospital grounds and the rest high explosive shrapnel which sent their death dealing bullets tearing: in every direction through the crowed hos pital tents and buildings. Barbarians Captured A three-seated airplane was brought down by gunfire while fly ing at a low altitude and the occu pants were made prisoners. The enemy captain and the pilot sus tained comparatively light shrapnel wounds while the observer was not hurt. When questioned why he had directed his men against hospitals, the captain explained in a matter of fact way that he didn't see the Red Cross sign. He said he was seeking military objectives and had no desire to molest hospitals. With a shrug of his shoulders the German captain added that if the British choose to build their hos-. pitals near railways they must ex-* pect to get them bombed. Toll Taken of Wounded The captain spoke excellent Eng lish. Asked where he had learned it, he replied he had been in diplo matic service before the war. Sunday night's raid was divided into two phases, the first of which began shortly after 10 o'clock and lasted until 11 o'clock. Not satis fied with this the enemy returned at 11.40 o'clock and heavily bombed hospitals filled with wounded men. In one building which was dam aged most seriously all the patients were suffering from compound frac tures which made necessary their limbs being strapped in the air. Women Fate Death Bravely Not a woman deserted her ward but throughout the terrible bombing each one kept going her rounds and quieting the unfortunate men, who might easily have done themselves lasting ha;m by springing from their beds. One sister was killed outright while she was administering to the soldiers' wants and another was so seriously hurt that she died shortly afterward. Still another was dying fe}-day.
