RAID ON RUHR
MADE BY STRONG FORCE OF BOMBERS MANY FIRES LEFT BURNING, FIVE BRITISH AIRCRAFT LOST. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, July 14. A strong force of R.A.F, bombers attacked industrial targets in the Ruhr last night. Many fires were left burning. Five of our aircraft are missing. Germany sent no raiders over Britain last night, BEYOND REPAIR GREAT RENAULT FACTORIES. PROOF IN SMUGGLED PHOTOGRAPHS. LONDON July 14. Photographs which have been smuggled out of France show indisputably that the Royal Air Force bombing of the Renault works on March 3 was so well directed that the whole vast works on He Seguin and on the banks of the Rhone were smashed beyond repair and are of no further use to the enemy. All that is now remaining of the great factories, which made tanks, plane engines and lorries, is a mass of twisted girders and smashed buildings. With the smuggled pictures of the Renault works (says a British Official Wireless message) was a document setting out a number of revealing facts and figures. Since the raid 20 per cent of the machine works had been out of action, and production till August will be under 25 per cent of the normal figure. Undamaged material has been sent to Italy. COLOGNE REFUGEES 60,000 REPORTED IN PARIS. LONDON, July 14. Weekly reports received in London from Paris state that 60,000 German men, women and children evacuated from Cologne since the R.A.F. raid, have arrived in Paris hotels and apartment houses which have been requisitioned for them.
