New York. July 25.-Details Of the
German air raid yer London N July
Z were brought yesterday to an Allan
tic port by passengers who were there
at the time. They said the machines
were sighted about 10 o'clock, flying
fairly low, SO that they could be easily
distinguished by the crowds in the
streets. Twenty-four were counted as
they passed over the Mile End Road
toward the City of London proper.
Bombs were dropped in White-
chapel, the passengers said, and killed
a number of persons. A bomb was
dropped in Aldgate near where hay
wagons were standing, but it did not
explode. Fenchurch street and Nine

and spice merchants have their offices.
Several persons were injured by
bombs there.

the invaders, and the anti-aircraft
guns on the tall buildings near the

Apparently the raiders were trying to
hit the Bank, as they had attempted
on previous raids. but did not succeed

Bank, which was full of men and boys
and several were injured.

FLEES FROM d
A BELIEVED
TO BE A RAIDER

An Atlantic Port, July 25.-The
presence of a strange vessel, believed
to be a German raider, due west from
the Spanish coast and two-thirds Of
the way across the Atlantic from
Europe, was reported by q British
freight steamer which escaped from
the unidentified craft and arrived
here.
Officers Of the British vessel de-
scribed the stranger as bark-rigged,
with four masts,I and a smokestack
rising between the main and mizzen
masts. She was steering northwest at
- knots when sighted early on July IA.
Saand bore down on the freighter. The
latter outdistanced the supposed raid
er after a brief chase.
Since last January American and
British steamships arriving at Atlantic
ports have from time to time report
ed meeting strange craft between
Cape Race and Cape Sable, which
bear down on westbound steamships
and, after circling around for a short
time, they steam away without MAX
ing any signals. All descriptions agree
that the strangers have high super
structures and are disguised as tramp
steamships having a top speed OF
about ID knots. It is understood that
they are fast liners fitted out as
auxiliary cruisers by the British adj
miralty to look out for any German
raiders that might escape across the
North Sea to the Atlantic.

Regarding scrap iron, MI. Nc

than the plants are able to handle,
and that this fact is Of some import
