PARIS AGAIN TARGET

Six Bombs Dropped From Aeroplanes Menace Trains. German Aviator Pursued by French Airmen Aerial Defense Planned. Paris, Oct. 13. —A German aeroplane early dropped bombs between two crowded railroad trains in the northern railroad station. The missiles did not explode and were later found imbedded two feet in the earth. Other bombs fell in the Rue Pouchette, on the Boulevard Bessieres and the Boulevard Clichy. It was announced officially later in the day that a Taube aeroplane had flown over Paris in the morning and dropped six bombs. Five French aviators went up to pursue the German airmen. A new squadron of aircraft has been formed to deal with German aviators. Another German bomb was dropped at St. Ouen. a suburb of Paris, but it did not explode. This missile fell within a short distance of a large paint factory, where there is a gasoline tank with a car parity of 80,000 gallons. General Hirschauer, an aeronautic expert, has been appointed to take charge of the aerial defense of the city. The creation of aerial squadrons stationed at cardinal points always to be ready to dash after the air craft of the enemy as soon as they should be signaled approaching the city was decided upon.
