Reports from Paris describe a Taenbe aeroplane dropping five hazardous devices over the Trocadero and surrounding quarters. One shell hit near churches and the Prince of Monaco mansion, injuring a guard and fatally wounding a man and severely injuring a girl. Other devices caused structural damage but not widespread devastation. Nearby landmarks including the American embassy chancellery and Washington statue were shaken but mostly spared. A cow died after a device exploded in the Bois du Boulogne. In New York the British consulate notes letters warning of submarines Porter and Velsa, seen in the Spanish American War, being refitted for action, with attention to possible actions against British ships.
