Fab. 14.—The murderous j work of a (Jerman airplane raider by ; who** bomb* many women and chil dren were crushed or burned to death in a recent raid on London is vividly described in an interview by on* of th* victims in th* Daily Chronical. It is such stories as this that hav* rous ed the Briton to graat wrath and th* demand for vengeance. The narra tor, a man, had taken refuge in a shel-1 ter with many others, including a' number of women and children. "We had scarcely got th* last of the people in when the t>oml>* fell," said the man. "All of them had been as calm and cheerful as you could wish up to then. The children particular-' ly were fine. They were singing Th* Hull Dog Breed, and Way Down in Tennessee, and th* younger kiddies were yelling until most of them turn-: bled in their mother's arms or on the pile* of paper strewn about the place.1 'Thm came the explosion. There was a short, sharp hissing sound, which I suppose it made in its de scent, which even in the basement we could hear quite distinctly, and then came the crash, worse than anything 1 had ever heard. I think mont of us down there were stunned for a mo ment or two. and the air seemed full of flying piece* of concrete. Fortu nately I was just outside two big iron doors at the time, to I escaped the worst of it, but I t'.ink it must have been at that time my hand wai in jured. r ragment* were blocking up the exit. nn<l »c had to fi-r'nt through to clear a way out. It wan pitiful to! hear the women, some railing out dis tractedly for their children and other* screaming that their babies had been killed in their arms. Some of the children we brough out were dead. "Our firemen were at work an quickly as possible, but in a few minu tes the whole place was like a furnace. The bomb had fallen and exploded, yet j not more than 10 feet away came across two little children standing absolutely untouched. They were cry-j ing with fright, and I got hold of them and managed to get them out. That ( was about the last I remember of it, for almost immediately I fainted—1' suppose with the pain of my hand and! arm, of which only then did I seem conacious. "One great mass of concrete, weigh ing I should think, about half a ton, i had fallen down right on a group of four women. Three of them were kill-' ed out right 1 think, but the fourth was only pinned down and was screaming out to be released. Four of us tried to get her out, but we couldn't make the stonework Imdgc an inch, although we tried to lever it up with all kinds of thimpi. "All the time the flames were get I ting fiercer and fiercer and coming nearer and nearer, and at length one i great burst of flame and smoke drove ua righ away, setting light to our clothes, and we could not get near the woman again- One of the men waa alight from head to foot, and we had to roll hua in the water, which waa ankle deep. before w« could put nut the flames. " 'It's aim ply horrible inside thara. • fl reman told ma. Maaaes of stufl had fallan down making serape impos sible for una of tha people, and w« found tham crouching down in all aorta of corners, all daad, where they had obviously triad to (at away from tha flame* and smoke. One woman waa kneeling down with two littla mite* huddlad up to her. "It took Ave men to lift up one great ulmp of concrete which lay across a woman'* leg. She waa daad. I&rtly from burning and partly from suffocation, I think." Hon. Charles A.

Criminal Docket Without Case I.u Port*. Ind.—For the first time in the history of the Circuit Court of Allegan County. Michigan, according to the Allegan Gazette, the calendar it wholly without even one criminal case. What few crimnial cases have lately urisen (they are petty affairs) have been settled by pleas of guilty. This is the -tate of things predicted l>y prohibitionists in the local option campaigns, anil probably there is not one wet in the county who will dis pute the proportion that the decrease of crime is attributable almoat wholly to absence of the saloon. Thin de crease has been so great that the sav ing to taxpayers in court cost* more than equals the sum taken annually from saloon taxes; and court costs comprise only one part of the financial saving effected. Beyond this is the im proved condition of the'mass of people in a great many respects. Banishment of the saloon has brought vast gains and no losses. W. S. 8.
