THE EVENING WORLD, RAS BOMBS DROP |Stage Villainess Wails ON CITY OF VENICE Deadly Fumes Used Outside of Trenches on Firing Line for First Time. CAUSE GREAT TERROR. Victims Remain Semi-Con- scious for Days and Re- covery Is Slow. VHNICH, Dec. 2.—(correspondence @f the Associated Press).— Tho use of asphyxiating gas in the bombs dropped on Venice has added a new terror to aerial raids, ating bombs have been used In the trenches along the fighting line, but not until the air raid of Nov. 18 was the deadly gas used in bombs dropped on cities, either here or anywhere else, so far as is known, The air raid on Nov, 18 was not made known at the time, as the mili- tary authorities throw a rigid cordon of silence around the city. The raid occurred near the arsenal, ‘None of the bombs fell inside the ar- weal inclosure. But outside the grounds there in an extensive quarter eccupied by the poorer people, with Narrow streets and low houses. It was tm this section that the bombs fell, spreading the effect of their fumen among the civilian population. Only one death occurred, but a great num- | ber of the poor people suffered from | the effect of the gases, which spread | through the whole quarter, paralyzing | sot _pambing the throat, lung: Th effect of the gas is described as | singularly lasting upon the organs | affected and the vitality of the people stricken. Some of the patients remafn in a semi-conscious state for four and five days, the face taking on a.greenish pallor. The recovery is very slow, the Kases appearing to carry 4 poison to the whole system, The widespread eftect of a gas bomb bas terrified the poorer people, and they flee to places of refuge whenever the rumor circulates that aircraft are coming.
