NlNErY.sEvEN ARE KILLED AND
437 HURT IN MOST DISASTROUS
AIR RAID OF WAR.
CHILDREN ARE AGAIN VICTIMS
Killed While Playing in Streets and
In schooI-Many Women Also Are
Killed and Injured-Homes
Of Poor Suffer.

London, July 15.-In a swift and
deadly raid on the city of London,
German airplanes took a heavy toll
in killed and wounded. Other places
were attacked, but SO far as is known,
by far the heaviest losses occurred in
London town itself.
At a late hour the casualties as Of
ficially announced numbered 534, in
Guiding 81 killed and 437 wounded.
F1fty-five men met death and 223 men
were wounded. Sixteen women and
rs children were killed and 1872 wom-
en- and "a children were wounded.
IS Machines in Squadron.
The German squadron consisted of
about Is machines and the downtown
section of London was their objective.
Many bombs fell on the east end
where buildings were destroyed and
others badly damaged and scores of
persons were victims of the explo-
sions. In one instance 10 children
were killed in one street and SO were
injured.
One Teuton Airplane Brought Down.
British airplanes assembled immedi-
ately upon the signal being given that
hostile machines were coming, but the
Germans remained at great height
and flew swiftly and evidently the
British fighters had difficulty in the
pursuit, for the loss of only one Ger.
man machine has been recorded. 9th
ers are reported to have been brought
down, but there is no official confirma-
ton of this. The anti-aircraft guns
of London seemingly were unable to
reach the Germans.
While a great many small business
houses and the homes of poor in the
crowded districts suffered great
damage, Field Marshal Viscount
French, commander of the Home De.
lenses, announces that no damage of
q military or naval nature was done.
Three hostile airplanes appeared
over the busiest part of the downtown
section of London at 1880 and worked
a rapid transformation in the busy
streets. The sound of the explosions
of bombs in the East End and of anti.
aircraft guns from perches around the
business district gave the public warn
ing of dangers. Vehicular traffic stop.
ped instantly. Omnibus drivers or.
dered all passengers to alight and
buses, taxis, wagons and lorries were
left stranded in the streets until the
danger was past.

present time, as showing the ability of
the American railways to handle troop
movements efficiently.
The report tells of the uniformly
excellent handling given troops and
supplies through the co-oeration OF
railway officials and employees of ev-
cry rank with the war department Off
Gals. 1t states that to carry the first
100000 of the National Guard moved
to the border, $50 trains, including
1000 passenger cars, 400 baggage cars,
most of them equipped as kitchen cars
for serving hot meals en- route, 1900
box cars, 1000 stock cars. and 800
fiat cars, were required. Approx
mately 1900 road locomotives and
crews and a large number of yard en-
gines and crews had part in handling
this movement.
On behalf of the railways, supervis-
ion of moving the troops was in the
hands Of special committee on CO.
operation with the military authorities,
appointed by the American Railway as
sociation at the request of the war de-
partment, of which Fairfax Harrison,
president of the Southern railway, was
chairman.
Considering the great distances
travelled by the militia from the var.
ious camps to the Mexican border"
says the report, "the fact that there
was but a single accident, and that of
a minor character the celebrity with
which the trains were moved and the
entire absence of congrestion or delay,
it is believed that there has been no
case in history where troops have been
as we'll and safely transported, or as
well cared for while en- route as in the
recent mobilization.
