London, Dec. 19-Ten persons
we're killed and seventy injured
in London during last night S air
raid. Outside Of London five per
sons were injured.
The statement issued today by
Lord French, commander Of the
British home forces, reads
The latest reports indicate
that from 16 TO 20 enemy airplanes
took part in last night S air raid.
Three groups of raiders crossed to
Kent coast between 6:15 and 6:25
p. IN. Three other groups crossed
the Essex coast between 6:10 and
6 as p IN.
All six groups made towards
London. Most Of the raiders were
turned back by grn fire at various
places, only about five machines
actually reaching and bombing
the capital between 7 and 8 p M.
After the main attack on Lon
don had terminated a single air
plane made its way over the cap
ital at about 8 p m,
"Ono raider, hit by gun fire,
came down in the sea off the Kent
ish coast, two of its crew of three
men being captured by an armed
trawler There is reason to sup
pose that another enemy airplane
came down in the channel, but
this has not been confirmed
"0ne of our pilots attacked and
fired two drums of ammunition
into raider as the latter was in
the act OF dropping bombs on Lon
don from a height of 10000 feet,
Another of our pilots also en-
gagged the enemy over London
and a third in the vicinity of the
capital at 1000 feet All our
machines returned safely.
Full reports of the casualties
and damage in London have not
yet been received
Bombs also were dropped at
various places in Essex and
Kent
The following official commun.
ication in regard TO casualties
was given out;
Last night S air raid casualties
were ten killed and seventy in
jured in London, only five in
. jured outside London
Several Fires occurred The
material damage was not serious,
There was no damage to nava
or military establishments
