RELATIVE VALUE OF BOMBING
The relative .value of bombing from a*military point of view is shown,by the results of the, incessant raids on Sagunto, the railway junction for Teruel, writes the Spanish correspond dent of the "Daily Telegraph." '•■;
There are three railway bridges, but never in any of the 70 raids have any of the bridges been hit, nor has: any. serious damage been done to the permanent way. The petrol station, where the convoys proceeding towards Teruel take fife], has never, been touched either; but about 40 or 50 cottages ,have been wrecked and scores of civilians have been killed.
"After a raid yesterday I visited the old town, from which a column of smoke Was ascending.. It came from a small fertiliser store. Another cloud of smoke came from some barrels of pitch set on fire by an incendiary bomb. The smoke and the material damage was impressive, but the actual harm done was not great."
