r j JiOT 05E PASSEJtGEB j KILLED BY SOl'THERX Washington, July 7.?Fairfar Harri-! ok, President of Southern Rail way j owopany, announced today that out W substantially 8,000,000 passengers handled "by the Southern Railway lor the fiscal year ended June 30, j i 1917, not a sdngel one was killed. Thej Woo-^'t?^rir the utmost satis-l faction in this achievement which it has sought to attain, ana nearly, but Mot quite, attained for several years past. It reflects not only greater human care and efficiency in operation, feat the improved facilities which kave been progessively installed on the Southern in recent years. The handling of these eighteen millions of passengers required 71.775 fcrains, composed of the average number of passenger cars seating 72 pas-j eengers each; it means 249,780 pas-. senger cars. If these passenger trains stood end to end on the railroad tracks they would extend for 5.457 miles; more than six times the distance from Atlanta to New York. If one passenger had been carried tne toiai distance that these pasengers were carried he would have gone around the world 35,093 times ,and had 15,150 miles then to travel. Old Guard.

It was the most pow erful air fieet ever sent to England A myriad of bombs were dropped first upon the Isle of Thanet and the: * ? * Af 1ZXIU cue lU^mjpvuuiii U1 wii. capital. The bulk of missiles wa; hurled from an altitude of only 1,00( yards. The raiders criss-crossed ovei the city at lightning speed. Sevei machines were brought down. Spec tacular air duels were fought abov< London and the Thames and all th< way across the c inel. Up to a late hour tonight the casual ities officially known were : Killed: Total, 37. Metropolitan area: Mer., 27; worn ec, 6; children, 3; total, 34. Injured; Total, 141. Metropolitan area: Men, 74; worn en, 29; children. 36; total, 139.

Officially only lour 01 me raiu ing machines were reported destroye< up to late tonight, but three other; were "bagged" after the last officia announcement has been issued, ac cording to eye-witnesses. | Of those mentioned in Lord French*! bulletin one raider fell into the se off the mouth of the Thames, twi others were seen to crash into th I 3 XI *-1* -f? iV sea ana mree ien m names vu m mouth of the Sneldt after a bltte ! combat with British flyers from Dun | 'kirk. It was 9:30 this morning when th raiding squadron in two detachment appeared over the Isle of Thanet am the east coast of Essex. They hov ered for only a brief space over thisland on which are located the fa vorite watering places of Ramsgat and Margate. Bombs were dropper profusely. Confer. Then the grim visitors moved lo ward London, flying parallel with th< ncyth i>ank of the Thames. Arrives over Ifce northeast outskirts, the: slackened their speed suddenly, re mained almost stationary for a fe? minutes as if holding a last confab t< determine the line of attack. Thei they changed their course and a ttttl< later they came whirring across thi city from the northwest to the south east. They picked the metropolitan are* for the center of their attack. Ever: anti-aircraft gun in London was a once in action. Every British ma chine on hand shot skyward tG attac! the raiders. Simultaneously the radi< was set sparkling with "tips" to th< royal air craft stations all over Eng land. To Dunkirk, on the Frencl coast, opposite Dover, the first flasl was sent, for there is stationed on: of the most formidable of Britisi squadrons. Cnrious. As usual, the people of London toot the raid as an object of unboundec curiosity. All through the city sound ed the alarms that mean "rush to youi cellars." And everywhere persons rushed to their highest windows, t^ the roofs and every other vantag< noint that could be found. The fe\* that did seek refage in their cellars .though escaping deatk and injury probably suffered more from shoe* and fear than the thousands that remained unharmed "high up." For thf very foundation of London seemed shaken by the ever-recurring concus sinnc: from exnlodine: shells. It was as if a titanic earthqaake had the cit> jumping. The "Doom of exploding bombs was deafening. In between the sharp report of anti-aircraft guns sounded almost like a relief. Meanwhile German and British fivers were exchanging compliments in the way of machinc gun fusilades that added the last wanting: touch to the sound of a larg* scale battle or bombardment. A bright sun looked down upon i! all. Now and then it disappeared in a haze of clouds, the sort that curtained the sky when the raiders made their surprise appearance over the city. Air Duels. The biggest air duels, "vith good re suits for the British, did not develor until the attackers had left London On their "homeward flight, the rout* of which is now well known to the British, they were met by one Britisi 'squadron after another. Back over th( Thames, across tne Xorth Sea as fa; as the Belgian roast, where the Dutcl: riv r S-: :?eldt empties into the sea, thf raiders flaw. no longer attackers. bul like hunted buzzards.
