WERE KILLED
Today's Air Raid on London by TWEEN
ty German Aeroplanes,
Wounded 141
People.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service1
LONDON, July 7.-Thirty-seven
men, women and children were killed
and 141 wounded when the fleet OF
twenty German earoplanes bombarded
London early today. Thirty-four, were
killed and 1879 injured in London
alone.
Lord French officially announced
the casualties this afternoon.
OF the dead, twenty-eight were men,
six women and three children.
The injured included seventy-four
men, thirty women and thirty-seyen
children.
The admiralty announced three OF
the German air raiders brought down
over the North sea and Lord French
announced the Instruction of another
which was brought down at the mouth
of the Thames river.
The raid was the greatest from the
standpoint of the number OF enemy
machines participating, that London
has suffered since the beginning OF
the war.
The casualties, however, were not
80 heavy as were suffered on June 13
when 157 persons were killed and 1872
injured.
The decrease in the number of
deaths is attributed to the fact that
the people in the districts raided, took
to their cellars almost with the ap-
pearance OF the first aeroplane and
the crack OF the first anti-aircraft
gun. AS the raid occurred at $3.50 at
time when the streets were fairly
well crowded, however, hundreds OF
people were endangered as the bombs
came crashing down from the sky.
The aeroplanes flew exceedingly
low while unloading their first bombs,
but as the anti-aircraft guns got into
action and air fighters Of the home
defense forces took to the sky, they
mounted to greater heights.
! These battles In the air were waged
with the British machines relentlessly
pursuing the Germans who maneu
yered and twisted and turned in an
effort to prevent their retreat being
cut off.

guns burst all about the contendins

A Clever Collie.

In one Of his books. Robert Louis
Stevenson writes of his friend John
TODD, a shepherd who had spent his
days herding sheep on the Pentland
hills, in Scotland. Many talk these
two had together as they roamed the
hillsides with the dogs and sheep, and
John had endless stories of the days
when the drove roads, which now lie
green and solitary, were busy thor
oughfares, TIN onged with drovers and
their beasts. or sheep dogs John had
much to tell. and here is one Of his
stories, as Stevenson tells 1t:
"Once," he writes, when John had
a specially clever sheepdog, "he had
bought some sheep in Edinburgh, and
on the way out, the road being crowd
ed, two were lost. This was re-
proach to John, and slur upon the
dog; and both were alive to their
misfortune Word came, after some
days, that a farmer about Braid had
found a pair Of sheep; and thither
went John and the dog to ask foI
restitution. But the farmer was a
hard man, and stood upon his rights
How were they marked?' he asked
and since John had bought right and
left from many sellers he had nc
notion Of the marks. Very well
