an aerial torpedo fell in one Of the
tennis courts. 1t dug its way without
exploding many feet into the soft
earth, doing no damage beyond hurting
big pieces of turf widespread. The lit

yards away was unhurt.
A portion of the torpedo was found
half buried in the turf few yards
away. Its size and that Of the hole
whore the torpedo disappeared show
the proportions of the great missile. II

been blown to pieces. The torpedo

Another aerial torpedo fell on large

Curiously enough yesterday, which
was marked by an air raid on London
in which fifty or more people were
killed, the mails brought the London
papers containing the accounts of the
previous air raid which occurred on
Saturday, May 26, but did not reach
London. In this previous raid 76 peo-
Pile were killed outright and ia were
injured. The London Times gave the
news on tts seventh page of the-issue
OF the following Monday, May q. It
is only fair to say that this was the
editorial page and was printed right
opposite the main news page Of the
paper. Following is.every word that
was printed in The Daily Chronicle
about the occurrence, an occurrence,
by the'way, that would have, caused q
fit in American newspaper offices. It
throws an interesting light upon jour
nallgm at the news center OF the world
during war time.

bakeries will find their former busi-

The sixty-five members of the union

the international and working men,
bers are contributing 50 each per week
to the strike fund. Thus the strikers
are prepared to hold out as long as it
