 Of Germnam Raiders

TIT HE latest German air raid on 4 London, while not as success full in the slaughter of men, women and children as the previous attack, has aroused the English ggIIi people to pitch of indignation which may seri- ously involve the government. It was not so much the damage wrought by the German airinen as their utter contempt for London's defenders and the comparative ease and safety with which they carried out their bombing operations, which provoked general condemnation.
 There seems to be good reason for criticizing the manner in which Lon don is defended. Approximately twen- ty airplanes took part in the raid, the bomb-carrying machines surrounded by fighting planes, and none of them was brought down until the raid was over and they were returning home. The Germans claim that only one machine was lost. The British say they accounted for several. The Ger man airmen flew lower than they  ever did before and but for the swifness of lgfbt shey might have dropped hsoaa aimoss anywhere it suited the ancy
