Two Visits of German Bomb-Droppers in 24 Hours Causes Panic.
PARIS, Oct 13.- Paris was attacked again yesterday by a German bomb-dropping aeroplane, the second aerial raid over the city within twenty-four hours, and as a result of the flight the population is in terror and is demanding that the French aerial blockade be strengthened.
The ease with which the German aviator penetrated to a point over Paris and dropped two bombs on the Northern Railroad station, so soon after Saturday’s raid by two machines which scattered twenty bombs, killing three and wounding fourteen persons, has roused the people to a realization that their overhead danger is constant and unprevented by the French Aviation Corps.
Following Sunday morning’s raid by two German aeroplanes, when the Cathedral of Notre Dame was struck by one of the falling bombs, all of the aerial craft defending Paris was made ready for instant action. Despite these preparations a German aeroplane swooped over Paris at 9.15 yesterday morning and dropped two bombs between two crowded railroad trains which were leaving the Northern Railroad station.
