SHELLED ONLY ONCE
Maidstone Suffered Little Damage (8.0 p.m.) LONDON. Oct. 3. German long-range guns on June 13 shelled Maidstone for the first and only time during the war. Seven shells between 1.30 a.m. and 3.45 a.m. fell in and around the town. People did not hear the shells whistling as they came in, the first intimation being a loud crack and a vivid green flash. The number of houses damaged was remai.iably small. There was one fatality. Maidstone is 65 miles from Calais.
