London, July s.-The second de-
scent upon London by a squadron OF
airplanes was made Saturday morn
ing between 9 and 10 o'clock. when
the business section OF the metropolis
was most crowded.
Although the German contingent
was larger, more daring, more delib-
crate in Its movements, and descend
ed much lower than on the visit OF
June l3, the number OF killed and
wounded was, according to the first
official roll. roughly one-third the
previous casualty list. The destruc-
ton Of property may have been great
or but that is impossible to estimate.
The flight OF the Germans over Lon
con lasted about twenty minutes. Brit
ieh airmen engaged the enemy for
several minutes over the metropolis,
and antiaircraft guns were firing
briskly, dotting the sky with shrapnel
puffs, but without success 80 far as
concerned the destruction Of any Of
the twenty or more machines which
constituted the invading force.
The enemy's bomb-carryins planes
were in the center OF the formation,
surrounded and protected by fast
fighting scout machines.
Lord French reports that the total
casualties reported by the police fol-
low:
