Show ENEMY AIRCRAFT ACTIVE ALONG THE AMERICAN FRONT WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, May 23. (By the Associated Press.) Enemy aircraft have been extremely ex-tremely active along the American front In Picardy since the advent of the new moon, villages and roads in the rear of the American Hues have been bombed and some' of the villages visited by the hostile aviators present pitiful scenes of desl ruction. ruc-tion. The military damage done has been negligible, but a number of civilians have, been killed, most of them women and children. The American soldiers and nurses in touch with the French population in the areas which have received visitations are freely offering aid and comfort to the distressed. dis-tressed. That some of the American hospitals hos-pitals have not been damaged is no fault of the enemy, but Is due to good fortune, as the Germans are apparently dropping their bombs without any consideration of military objectives. The area under bombardment from the air is that between the American front and Pans, and nightly the air over this district Is humming with enemy motors, while the American and French antiaircraft anti-aircraft guns are keeping up an almost continuous barrage. |
