Speaking Of the existing uncertainties

Augusta & Waterville Street Railway,
an Augusta gentleman who owns a cot
tage on the shores of Cobbosseecontee
tells Of an experience which he had the
other day while at the cottage with
party for the afternoon When at dusk
they left the cottage to take the car for
home they went to the waiting room.
They found IL in darkness. but they diu
not mind that fact as they had a lantern
with them. The waiting room however
was not overhaated because of the fact
that a light Of glass had been broke.
and while the air in the room was pure
enough 1t was Of a temperature that rem
dered the interior OF the building rather
too cold for comfort The man said that
after waiting about an hour and a half
the party left the waiting room and walk
ed some distance down the track to
farmhouse, where they got permission to
20 IN and get warm, and there they walt
ed until finally the car came along When
all were safely on board and started to-
ward Augusta the conductor in reply 10
an inquiry as to the cause of the car be-
ing late, said that some distance back
the trolley pole had come off and as It
had fallen into the deep snow beside tho
track It was for awhile lost. A diligent
search, however, resulted In the final re-
covery Of the pole and after Il had been
replaced the journey was resumed.

AIR RAID VICTIMS
MET THEIR DEATHS
WHILE IN SHELTER

London, Jan CA large number Of
the persons killed in Monday nights
air raid. according to the Central News,
met their deaths in 4 building tie base
ment Of which was used as a shelter.
II is believed that two bombs struck
the building, as the walls were blown
out in large sections and all the floors
collapsed.
In ADDITION to the persons from the
outside being sheltered in the building.
there was large night staff at work
a the time of the raid. This. account
ed for the serious mortality. Although
q number of bodies have been recover
ed, it is feared that others are still
buried in the debris.
One Of the touching incidents was
the death OLA minister who. whenever
raid warnings were given, had been in
the habit Of visiting various shelters.
Monday night he was addressing people
who had collected in one shelter when
bomb dropped on it, killing him and
number Of others. The Central News
says that 90 bodies already have been
recovered from one building. Firemen
and soldiers are still pouring water on
the burning debris Many bodies We're
burned most severely. Among tho num-
Der was that Of a woman who still
clasped two children to her breast.
The success of the British airmen
against the German invaders in Mon
day nights raid has caused discus
sion in some quarters that a heavy
harrage over London during q raid is
rather more harmful than helpful. It
is said that the air board should give
the airmen a clear field in dealing with
the raiders, instead of employing gun
fire. which causes damage to property
and some casualties through falling
shrapnel
