SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS.

Young American Describes Attack
by German Ae~roplanes Upon Lon
don.
New York, July 20.-How the spirit
of hate is born was told graphically
by a young American who called at
the Herald office Immediately after
landing from a transatlantic steam
ship yesterday.
John Humgerford. a young news
paper writer from the West, was in
London when German aeroplanes
descended upon that city on July 7.
He said:
Il could not realize what it was
to really hate a people or a nation
until saw the German aeroplanes
dropping bombs on innocent and un-
protected noncombatants. Then 7
could hate. I saw little children dis
m%embered, their legs and arms torn
from their bodies. | saw the forms
of infants and of Of old
men and young men who were en-
gagged in the peaceful pursuits of life,
lying in the streets and in the ruins
of their homes. I saw a school, in
which there were. many children,
wrecked and their bodies scattered in
the debris.
"Then knew why 1ne British and
the French hate the Huns. | could
join in the hatred Of a race that will
90 down in history as the most ac-
cursed descendants of .Attila."
