ENGLAND RAIDED BY AIR
FLEETS OF GERMANY

by large numbers of people, who knew
exactly where they took place. The
enemy airmen were certainly under no
illusions as to their whereabouts. Berlin
is no doubt informed by this time. and in
n day or two II the censor permits, we
shall publish an account of the locality
from German sources"
The Daily Mail declared the Sunday
raids showed the folly OF believing that
London has been made immune from air
attacks, simply because no Zeppelns have
attacked the city for several months.
THE raids on Kent promptly confirmed
Flight Commander Billings prediction
that aeroplane raids are apt to become
more dangerous than Zeppelin raids"
said the Mail.
Some OF the aeronautic writer's believe
the Fokker was built solely for defensive
purposes and is incapable of a flight to
London. Others give warning, however,
that the German fighting ship is probably
well equipped for a quick dash to
England.
Despite the anxiety felt in London over
recent successes of the new German air
Uhlans, correspondents stationed at the
British front report that skilled English
aviators have encountered and defeated
the FOkker pilots. In one such engage
ment, the Chronicles correspondent de-
clares British aviator routed two Fox
kers and a third German plane.

PAIR OF OVERALLSN
"HAUNTED HOUSE" Is
DARBY MURDER CLUE
Borough Authorities Work on
That Clue in Search for
Coal Peddler-Garment
Is Torn
ASK PHILADELPHIA'S AID

Discovery OF pair OF overalls this
afternoon I'm Darby's "haunted" house,
which is about 300 feet from the dwelling
in which Mrs Mary Davis was murdered,
may lead the police to her murderer
The top part of the overalls was torn
away the police believe, because 1t may
have been spotted with blood or ripped in
the struggle with the victim. The gar
ment was dotted with coal dust, and this
has led TO the trail of coal peddler.
Chief of Police Clarke and County De-
tectives O'Toole and Nell searched the
haunted house thoroughly this after
noon in the hopes of finding more clues.
The house sets about $50 feet back from
the main road, and has been from time
to time the rendezvous of tramps.
The people of Darby have demanded
that every effort be made to discover the
murderer. They declare there have been
entirely too many unsolved cases in that
section. Chief Clark is hampered by lack
Of men He decided today TO follow the
example of the small communities i'm
England. which summon the aid OF the
Scotland Yard in big cases, and asked the
Detective Bureau of this city TO give him
the aid OF the murder squad.
II is believed that the city sleuths may
run down the murderer by making the
search from an entirely new angle.
William Colinsgrove left today for Wis
consin. where he will marry the widow
OF his brother. The couple will live In
the Collinsgrove home in Darby.
II is understood that the bride has made
no objection to living i'm the house on
account of the murder Before leaving,
Collingsgrove said he felt certain Mrs.
Davis was murdered. This theory Is also
held by Coroner Drewes, who viii hold
the inquest during the latter part of the
week. II want the jury TO be guided by
