A town of the sootheast coast of Knglaud, May ~d, via London ;-?i-\Vom mi mikI HklMmi who ha<L stood for hour* In a lofifc lino in tlit* busiest street here wattng to purchase pota tm?s were the principal victims of the Column airplane raid last evening. The women and children had little warning ?>!* the raid and were easy victims of the air vultures whodro(? |K'd their deadly homhs ludlscrlinl uately. ?Hie raid, which claimed the lives of 70 jiersons and caused Injury t?.? 17A others, provtnl more deadly than any raid made on Knglaud since the beginning of tUe war. Flying so hijeh that they looked like a flock of ducks, the raiders rained doxciis of homhs on the busiest hlock of the main thoroughfare, which was choked with shoppers of every ago and sex. A eorre.HjMMMienl of the Assix-lated l*rcs? visited tin- det*Lroyod district to day. lie fouml u grocery store that had collapsed and was told hy the gro cer. who lost- two members of his family, that 10 dead iwrsons were found in the debris. A dozen mow were *k11 1?m 1 and three score or more were Injured hy flying glass and hrlcks and shrapnel-like fragments* ?which were scattered forcibly by thy bursting bombs. Many persons lost their lives ou a narrow stair-like passage way bo tween two buildings on this street when a boyib burst overhead, the con cussion killing them. All the victims in this part of the town were struck down within a ra dius of 200 yards. One of the most striking result* wa? 4he small projierty damage here, cornered with the heavy loss of life. This is thought to have been due to the fact that the bombs happened to drop whefre largo crowds of shopper?*, augmented 'by people attracted to the potato sale, were gathered.. In the residential sections of the town fashionable homes were de moll&hcKj, but only one or two vie-' thus were found in the ruins. The raldecs made a bee-line over the town, first bombing the residential ^cfcion and then pelting the shopping <nbtrlct as they flew out to sea. \ -.The o^spjilty list.for this town alone was touiglit placed at 00 dead and 150 injured. Large gangs of worlcmcn, however, continued to woVk Into the night on huge plies of tlebrls in the resilient I jiI section "where several per sous are missing. The raiders spent less than three minutes over this town. They came from places further inland which they had hombed freely. The loss of life and property damage in those places, ?however, is reported to have been comparatively light. At one place a baseball game was i;> progress when a Iwanb fell in - the outflehl. Frag ments of the bursting ^ftbell wounded the right, and center fielders so se verely that the.v had to l?e taken to a hospital. "Itobs" Visits Camden. Mr. A. J.
