Raids Ot the ZeppeHns
 4 Close ub View Of Them

Herbert Strickland, the mining engi- ueer of this city and associate of the Royal Schoo lof Mines. London, Eng land. on his recent return to Phoen1X found a letter from his brother in London describing among other things the German air raids on London. While the news dispatches of year go dealt with those raids one gets a closer up of them from the following letter which MT. Strickland has writ t7n The Republican:
 To the Editor,
 The Arizona Republican,
 City.
 Dear Sir:
 Some time ago. while the writer was nway from the city on mountain trip, letter arrived for him from London England, giving vivid account of what the people there experienced dur ing the period of Zeppelin bombing air raids and he believes that it may prove 10 be sufficiently interesting to you that you may deem it worthy of pub lcation. As it is a family letter only certain purely personal matters are eliminated. Here is what they went through:
 What will interest you most to heal after my long silence is about our pool dear sister. who now is absolutely helpless. The next thing tC interest you will be to hear about ou1 experience during the air raids. w

of pounds of damage done. many ware houses and other buildings being de- molished. One bomb fell within hun- dred yards of St Pauls cathedral but without damaging it. Chancery Lane caught it badly too. several buildings there being badly knocked about and one or two great shell holes in the street. Another bomb fell in the H. A. c Honorable Artillery company ground, exeavating a huge hole but doing no other damage, but another one badly damaged some houses at the end of the grounds.
 The enclosed maps will show you how widespread the raids have been, not only in London but throughout the country.
 I dare say you will wonder how Alice (his daughter) and I fared during this dreadful time We'll every night when going to bed, we so arranged our clothes that we could jump into them without delay and the first one who heard the maroons (cannon crackers) which were exploded when the enemy machines were approaching, aroused the others and we then, with the two maids, came down to the dining room sitting as far as possible from the window while Alice often camped out under the table and sometimes went to sleep. There we used to remain until we heard the blissful sounds of the all clear bugles which were blown | by boy scouts mounted on bicycles whc rode down each street and then we went to bed again, though on one ol | two occasions we had a second alarm and had to dress and come down again
 The last raid over London was or last Whit Sunday, May 19, 1918, ant was the only one we missed, as wt were at Hindhead.
 Thousands of people left London t Lescape them, the result being that il 'the outlying districts, which were no
 affected by the raids, house was no
 to be had for love or money

 nights and the next morning I found
 shell, one of our own, had fallen on
 the road only five houses below ours
 | Fortunately it did not explode, but it
 was dug out a day or two afterwards by some soldiers and it was found to
 have gone down nine feet. A day or two after, one fell outside Dr. N.'s house (three blocks away) also with out exploding, but it also pierced the
 macadamizing of the road to depth
 of nearly 10 feet. Several fell in that
 street, but did no damage. One, how
 ever fell in a house two blocks from ours and exploding, did a terrific lot
 of damage although, fortunately, not injuring any one. These had all been
 fired by our anti-aircraft guns, but

Scores OF passengers barely escaped

and Ohio train No. A was derailed one
mile east of EumpasS. forty miles from
Richmond. and several ears plunged
down a twcnty-foot cmbankment.

riously Injured. Richard Harris. an cx-
press messenger, living at Gordonsvillc,
and John Wise. news agent whose

Harris sustained a painful cut in his
leg which was a $50 sprained. as well
as severe bruises. Wise was painfully
!. bruised and cut in several places. Bo, h
men were brought back to Richmond
on the train. which. after being re-
placed OH tho tracks, reached here
shortly before o'clock, almost four
hours behind schedule.

car attached TO the train also turned

were derailed. but retained their
equilibrium.
Pandcmonium reiCned for some min
uteS after the accident occurred. Sew
c-al passengers, including women and
children. were found pinned beneath
seats or wcdged into the aisleS while
the ears were on their sides or stood at
an angle. These were rescued as rap
idly as possible by other passengers,
who had escaped from the cars by
climbing through windows and doors
suffer Minor Injuries.
Many OF the passengers suffered
minor bruises and cuts. but none were
serious enough. as far as could be
learned. to require heroic medical at
tention.
Officials OF the railroad were unable
to give any reason last night for the
derailment of the train. although an
investigation of the accident was be-
gun Immediately.
1t was stated that the lack of more
serious injuries could be attributed to
the fact that the passenger coaches
were all OF steel. thus preventing their
being mashed when leaving the tracks.
