BOMBS ON GERMAN TOWN.
.PANIC IN MANNHEIM. FLIGHT OF TOWNSPEOPLE. A. and N.Z. LONDON, Jan. 28. The Geneva correspondent of the Daily Express says that the British raid on Mannheim, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, on Thursday eclipsed all previous raids, showing Germany the penalties she may expect for bombing open towns. Travellers in hot flight from Mannheim tell that the town spent a night of terror. Panic-stricken people rushed about the streets half closhed. The British aeroplanes swooped so low that the engines could be heard from the streets.. They so surprised the German anti-air-craft gunners that one bomb fell into the barracks. When the British had departed an angry crowd gathered in the market square crying " Down with war. Give us peace." RAlfa BY AMERICANS. VISIT TO THE INTERIOR. X A. and N.Z. NEW YORK, Jan. 28. Correspondents with the American army in France cable that four American aviators penetrated to the interior of Germany, dropped bombs, and returned safely.
