Paris, Jan. 30.
A Zeppelin threw thirteen bombs on Paris at 10 o'clock last night. There were some victims and some damage to property. Nine houses have been wrecked, seven persons killed and twenty-one injured.
The approach of the Zeppelin was reported at 9.20 on Saturday evening. The city was immediately plunged into darkness. Firemen ran through the streets with bells ants, and searchlights lit up the sky, in which the squadron of aeroplanes entrusted with the defence of the city was dimly discernible.
The first explosions were heard at 10 o'clock.
Later.
The Zeppelin dropped several bombs. There were many victims, fifteen persons being killed or injured at one point and a man, three women and two children killed at another. There were also several victims owing to the collapse of a house which was destroyed by a bomb. Elsewhere there was damage to property.
The end of the raid was announced by the bugles of the firemen at one o'clock in the morning.
The population throughout was very calm. Crowds on the boule-yards watched the searchlights and listened to the aeroplanes. A thick mist hampered the guns.
Several aeroplanes pursued the Zeppelin, which was at a great height, and fired at it as it disappeared.
