MOSELLE BRIDGE. Thunderbolt Destruction. LONDON, Feb 16.—Reconnais-sance photographs taken yesterday show that 957 feet of the double-deck rail and road bridge crossing the Moselle at Bulley—much used on the Germany supply route from Coblenz to Trier—has been de-stroyed by Thunderbolt fighter-bombers. Two of six spans are under water. Night flyers have reported seeing lights on what is left of the bridge, which may indicate that the Ger-mans are making attempts to repair it. Experts, however, agree that, such a task is formidable.
