London, July 9.-The second de-
scent upon London by a squadron of
airplanes was made Saturday morn
ing between 8 and 10 o'clock when
the business section Of the metropo-
lis was most crowded. Although the
German contingent was larger, more
daring, more deliberate in its move
ments and descended much lower
than on the visit of June Is, the num-
Der of killed and wounded was, ac-
cording to the first official roll, rough
~ one-third Of the previous casualty
list. The destruction of property may
have been greater but that is impos-
sible to estimate.
Thirty-seven persons were killed
and 141 hurt. Three children were
killed and SO injured.
The flight of the Germans over Lon
don lasted about 20 minutes. British
airmen engaged the enemy for sever
al minutes over the metropolis and
anti aircraftguns were firing briskly,
dotting the sky with shrapnel puffs,
but without success so far as concern
ed the destruction of any of the 20 OF
more machines which constituted the
invading force.
In the pursuit over the sea 3 were
destroyed and airmen from DunkirL
