The chairman of the Committee on
Home and Foreign Relief, which has
been working in cooperation with the
health officials during the epidemic Of
influenza and pneumonia, reports fewer
calls and better conditions in every
way. They are still finding places
where nursing and food for the sick are
needed, but while at first these calls
were SO numerous as to be appalling,
there is now marked falling off
in numbers.

parison with the strange conviction OF
weakness and confusion.
He thought:
"Weve not won this war yet" and he had
qualms.
One poor lamp burned in the street. He
started to walk slowly and uncertainty
toward it. Near by he saw a hat on the
ground. 1t was his own. He put it on
Suddenly the street lamp went out. He
walked on, and stepped ankle-deep into
broken glass. Then the road was clear
again. He halted. Not sign of Christine.
He decided that she must have run away
and that she would run blindly and, finding
herself either in Leicester Square or Low
er Regent Street, would by instinct run
home. At any rate, she could not be blown
to atoms, for they were together at the
instant Of tho explosion. She must exist,
and she must have had the power of mo-
ton. He remembered that he had had
stick; he had it no longer. He turned back
and, taking from his pocket the electric
TORCH which had lately come into fashion,
he, examined the road for his stick. The
sole object of interest which the torch
revealed was a chld's severed arm, with
fragment of brown frock on it and
tinsel ring on one Of the fingers Of the
dirty little hand The blood from the other
end had stained the ground G. J. abruptly
switched off the torch. Nausea overcame
him. and then a feeling of the most in
tense pity and anger overcame the nausea

more than one right angle turn. Christine
gave a sigh that she could go no further.
He ceased trying to drag her. He was
covering himself. Once more he heard the
guns-childishly feeble after the explosion
of the bomb After all, one spot was as
safe another.
The outline Of building seemed familiar.
1t was an abandoned chapel; he knew he
was in St. Martins Street. He was about
to pull Christine into the shelter of the
front of the chapel when something hap
pened for which he could not find name.
True, it explosion. But the previ
Gus event had been an explosion, and this
one was thousandfold more intimidating.
The earth swayed up and down. The sound

INITIATED the universe The sound and the
concussion transcended what had been con-
ceivable. Both the sound and concussion
seemed to last for long time. Then, like
an afterthought, succeeded the awful noise
of falling masses and the nnumerable
crystal tinklng of shattered glass. This
noise ceased and began again :.
G. J. was now in a strange condition
of mild wonder There was silence in the
dark solitude of St. Martins Street Then
the sound of guns supervened once more,
but they were distant guns. G. j. dis
covered that he was not holding Christine,
and also that, instead of being in the mid
die of the street, he was leaning against
the door of the house. He called family,
"Christine!" No reply. "In a moment"
he said to himself, "I must 20 out and look
for her. But I am not quite ready yet"
He had slight pain in his side; it was
naught; it was naught, especially in COM

very like others. An inactive fatalism
had seized him. He was too proud too idle
too negligent, too curious, to do the wise
thing. He and Christine were in the air
raid, and in it they should remain. He had
just the senseless, monkeyish curiosity of
the staring crowd so lyrically praised by
"The London Press" He was afraid, but
his curiosity and his inertia were strong
than his fear. Then came most tre-
mendous explosion-the loudest sound, the
most formidable physical phenomenon that
G. j. had ever experienced in his life. The
earth under their feet trembled Christine
gave a squeal and seemed to subsdc to
the ground, but he pulled her up again, not
in calm self-possession, but by the sheer
automatism of instinct. A spasm Of hor-
rible fright shot through him. He thought,
in awe and stupefaction
"A bomb!"
He though about death and manning and
blood. The relations between him and
those everyday males aloft in the sky
seemed to be appallingly close. After the ex-
posion perfect silence--no screams, no
noise or crumbling-perfect silence, and yet
the explosion seemed still to dominate the
air! Ears ached and sang Something
must be done. All theories Of safety had
been smashed to atoms in the explosion.
G. J. dragged Christine along the street,
he knew not why. The street was un-
harmed Not. the slightest trace in it, so
far G. ). could tell in the gloom, of
destruction. But where the explosion had
been, whether east, west, south or north,
he could not guess. Except for the dis
turbance in his ears the explosion might
have been a hallucination.
Suddenly he saw, at the end Of the street,
wide thoroughfare, and he could not be
sure what thoroughfare it was. Two motor
buses passed the end of the street at mad
speed; then two taxis; then a number of
people, men and women, running hard.
Useless and silly to risk the perils of that
wide thoroughfare! He turned back with
Christine. He got her to run. In the thick
gloom he looked for an open door or a
porch, but there was none. The houses

in his boots. Water was advancing in a
food along the street. "Broken MAINS of
COURSE" he said to himself. and was rather
pleased with the promptness of his expla-
nation. At the elbow Of st. Martins Street,
where new, dim vista opened up, he saw
policemen, then fremen; then he heard the
beat of fire engine, upon whose brass
glinted the reflection of flames that were
fickering in a gap between two buildings.
a huge pile of debris encumbered the
middle of the road. The vista was closed
by barricade, beyond which was a press
ing crowd "Stand clear, there!" said q
policeman to him roughly. There's a wall
going to fall there any minute" He walked
off, hurrying with relief from the half-lit
scene Of busy, dim slhoucttes He could
scarcely understand it; and he was in
capable Of replying to the policeman. He
wanted to be alone and to ponder himself
back into perfect composure. At the elbow
again he halted afresh. And as he stood
figures in couples, bearing stretchers,
strobe past him. The stretchers were COW
cred with cloths that hung down. Not the
faintest sound came from beneath the
cloths.
After time he went on. The other exit
of st. Martins Street was being barricaded
as he reached it, A large crowd had as
sembled, and there was a sound Of talking
like steady rain. He pushed grimly through
the crowd. He was set apart from the idle
crowd. He would tell the crowd nothing.
In minute he was going westward on the
left side of Coventry Street again. The
other side was as populous with saunterers
as ever. The violent glow-worms still
burned in front of the theatres and ci-
nemas. Motor-buses swept by; taxis swept

like the low, distant rumbling presaging an
approaching storm, or the whine of an on

front the persistent, muttered rumors Of a
night raid On Paris. For over year there
had been some kind Of tacit understanding
that If the French would leave the Ger
