DETAILS OF DAMAGE

IN BOMBING OF OCCUPIED FRANCE REVEALED IN TECHNICAL JOURNAL. GREAT FACTORIES DESTROYED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, June 16. “The Times” says that a French technical journal’s publication of assessments of the insurance claims and estimates of the cost of reconstruction, show the enormous destruction of the R.A.F.’s raids on occupied France. A preliminary estimate of the destruction at the Renault works is 400,000,000 francs. The total damage to French dockyards from May 7 to May 21 is computed at 300,000,000 francs. The R.A.F. did 20,000,000 francs’ worth of damage on May 8 in an attack on the docks at Nantes. Any resumption of work is unlikely before the beginning of July. Other well-known works destroyed besides the Gnome-Rhone factory at Gennevilliers are the Fonderie Sautee and Lorraine-Dietrich factories. Ericsson’s, makers of navigation apparatus, was burnt out, and the Amiot aero works and the Matfork works at Poissy were entirely destroyed. About half the submarine works at Tray-sur-Seine were destroyed, including three submarines under construction.
