BOMBARDMENT OF PADUA. Press Association—Copyright, Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. Rome, November 11Tho Austrians attempted to bomb Venice on Saturday, but were repulsed. They bombarded Padua, and the biggest bomb fell on a large storehouse, where over one hundred cottagers were refuging. Most ot the victims were blown to pieces. Sixtytwo bodies were recovered, whereol twenty were babies, tbirty-wne women, and eleven old men. Other bodies are buried beneath immense piles of wreckage. I lie bodies were so mutilated that many women and little children were unidentifiable. The newspapers are madly indignant at the atrocity, and say that the young men at the front will see that the horror is revenged.
