 The harder it rained, the stickier and more tenacious became the 'dobe mud. In places the pools were hub deep.

Yet the Stakeholder ear pulled stur,lily along and showed ample reserve power for conditions even more fcuH. This lasted for three days until they reached Sal. Lake City.

20 GERMAN AIRPLANES

flew fairly low and the rattle of ma. chine guns was distinctly audible from the ground.
 None of the Germans had been brought down when the combatants disappeared.
 Today's attack was plainly directed against the civilian population and business and financial buildings. There is no question that the Germans knew where they were and it was no matter of scattering explosives blindly from great height. Why more persons were not killed, is hard to explain. Thousands were in the streets that were bombed, but probably a much larger proportion took shelter in the solid buildings, taught by the lesson of June 13.
 The upper story Of one building, where several hundred men and girls were employed, was partly destroyed. First reports were that great loss of life had occurred in this building, but it later developed no one was even in jured. as all the workers had been quietly marshalled into the basement when the gunfire began.
 Hospital Attacked.
 Among the places attacked was one of the most extensive metropolitan hospitals, from which the Red Cross flag was flying conspicuously. Early rumors were abroad that the hospital had been badly damaged, but investi gation showed it had escaped entire ly, although several bombs fell close to it.
 The days experience showed that persons in solidly constructed build- ings are comparatively safe, but the windows of these buildings were today crowded with young clerks determin- ed not to miss the spectacle at what ever cost
 The fate of the humble dwellers in workmens' houses was different. They had no chance for their lives. The sight, now familiar to Londonners, of distracted, sobbing mothers rushing about the ruins of tenements, fearing to find. and sometimes finding. the mangled bodies of their children, was the most moving incident of the Ger man victory. Athorough inyestiga- tion of the results of the battle by staff correspondents of the Associated Press showed that no military, muni tions or supply establishments were touched.
 Apparently none was sought, since the Germans undoubtedly well knew their locations.
 ReprisaIs Demanded.
 Five minutes after the explosions ceased the streets of the district at tackled were damned with masses of Fire engines. ambulances, patrol wagons, motors with nurses and doctors seemed to spring from the earth. Almost immediately waves of from the west end swept down and seemed to come in droves the day.
 Anger and determination seemed to be the dominating sentiments of the One certain result of the raid will be an increased demand for reprisal on German cities. Several members of parliament have already their purpose to raise the question as soon as the house of com monts meets.

coming increasingly assured" was the
confident note sounded today by Pre-
mier Lloyd-George in a Guild hall
speech.

and a number of prisoners; thereafter
captured 400 and have taken prisoners
at ratio Of 10 of the enemy for one OF
ours. -

tie of the Somme,' the prime minister
asserted, eve captured II 900 prisoners

Arras recently we took $4,000 men and
