Four Fleets Attack London and En-
virons During Night Killing Ton
Persons and Wpundins Thirty-Eisht
- Battle Lasts Two and one-Haff
Hours.
London, Oct. 2.--Ten persons were
killed and thirty-eight injured in last
nights air raid. The strongest air
attack yet attempted on London and
the coast towns by the Germans was
carried out by four groups Of hostile
airplanes.
Some of the machines got thru to
London and bombarded the southwest
ern district. gg
A terrific barragA was sent up from
the defense guns and the roar Of battle
lasted intermittently for two and one
half hours.
The raid is the sixth Of the week Of
the harvest. moon. o.. ..,a-
Londoners, despite the repeated
German attempts to drop bombs on the
city, are withstanding the test well.
Last night, when two squadrons OF
raiders succeeded In getting close to
London, and some machines came
over the city. there was no panic and
no ;untowaFd incidents.
Immediately the coming Of the
raiders was ssignalled, the people in the
streets scurrieds for cover while motor
Ebusses and carts drew up to the curb
where passengers quickly alighted. In
five. minutes the streets were deserted
Most Of the offices and shops had
closed before o'clock to permit fheir
employees to reach their homes and
there was only fraction Of the MINI

refuge. The police and special cons
stables aligned them in files and when
the warning was given they were
shepherded into the refugees without
confusion or crowding. The theaters
which are open had small audiences
and the amajority Of the restaurants
were almost deserted. .&Ss3
The air battles over London have
become so much matter of course
that wherever there was lull for a
few minutes in the firing the buses
started running again and the people
f1ocked into the streets.
