Interior of tent American Red Cross hospital at Jouy, which was attacked by German Aviators

on the night of July 15.

Two hospital orderlies were killed, and 14 persons injured, of whom nine were orderlies,

four patients and one American Red Cross nurse.

No possible doubt exists as to the deliberate character of the raid as the hospital was marked by

an immense white canvas cross on the lawn, which has been proved by photographs taken from

an airplane, to be distinctly visible several thousand feet in the air,

and seven witnesses agree that the Boche Aviators came down to within several hundred feet

to make observations before dropping their bombs.

The white spots in the photograph show a few of the holes torn in tent

by flying fragments of shrapnel
