then a few minutes when the artillery
fire receded into the distance.
The Germans steered a course
across London from northwest to
southeast. They dropped the last of
their supply ot bombs on a section oi
workmen s dwellings and crossed the
Thames. Some observers say that a
giant airplane piloted the squadron
and that the bomb carriers were in
the cenjer, flanked by scouts for fight

The fate of the humble dwellers in
uinrLniin'a linnsfl wag different. They
had no chance for their lives. The
sight, now familiar to Londoners, ot
distracted, sobbing mothers rushing
about the, ruins of tenements, fearing
to find, and sometimes finding. the
mangled bodies of their children, was
the most moving incident of the Ger
man victory. A thorough investiga
tion of the results of the battle by
staff correspondents of The Associated
Press, showed that no military, muni
tions, or supply establishments was
touched. . .
Apparently none was sought, since
the .Germans undoubtedly well know
their locations. ,
Streets Are Crowded.
Five minutes Mter the explosions
ceased, the streets of the district at
tacked were jammed with masses of
humanity. Fire engines, ambulances,
patrol wagons, motors with nurses
and doctors seemed to spring from
the earth. Almost immediately waves
of sightseers from the west end swept
down and seemed to come in droves
throughout the day.
Anger and determination seemed to
be the dominating sentimcts of the
populace. One certain result of the
raid will be an increased demand for
reprisal on German cities. Several
members of parliament have already
announced their purpose to raise the
question as soon as the house of com
mons meets.

of English civilians would cease if

among those who have looked on the
bodies of their slain and mangled
countrymen

SENATE'S ACTION
ON LIQUOR BLOW
TO J. BARLEYCORN
The probable loss in federal revenues
is ploced at from $200,000,000 to $400,
000,000. although this as well as the
cost of purchase would depend en
tirely on how much liquor was with
drawn tax-paid before the comman
deering. The senate's action promises in-;
definite delay in enacting the war tax
bill, further delay on the food con
trol bill, and indefinite postponement
qii adjournment of congress. The
revised $1,670,000,000 war tax bill was
withdrawn immediately following the
final vote upon the liquor question
to seek newr sources of revenue in
case taxation on distilled liquors is
eliminated.
Enormous withdrawal of distilled
liquors from bonded warehouses be
fore the senate provision could be
come effective was generally pre
dicted tonight. It was estimated that
manufacturers and dealers probably
could raise funds enough to withdraw
at least half of the existing supply
or enough to meet consumption de
mands for a year or more.
Not Subject to Change.
One feature of the bill as it now
stands the prohibition of the manu
facture of distilled spirits will not
be subject to change in conference
and therefore is certain to become
law.
A resort to cloture still is threat
ened to hasten action on other dis
puted sections of the control bill. Sen
ator Chamberlain tonight presented
and withdrew temporarily his cloture
after failing to obtain an agreement
by unanimous consent for a final vote
iftxt week. Determined to dispose of
the measure during the coming week,
he announced that he would renew
the cloture motion on Monday unless
an agreement could be reached.
The "wets" were successful, how
ever, in confining the senate's action
to distilled beverages without inter
fering with beer and wines.
In withdrawing the revised war tax
bill from the senate and having it re
committed to the k finance committee
Chairman Simmons said the further
revision would depend upon the final
action of the congress as to eliminat
ing distilling as a source of revenue.
The committee may meet Monday to
consider the situation tentatively.
Privately it was stated that to make
up any loss in revenue from distilled
beverages it was probable that the
taxes on beer and wines would be in
creased greatly and also possibly the
taxes on incomes and war excess
profits.
The contest raged about the so
called "administration compromise"
of Senator, Robinson, originally pro
viding only for prohibiting manufac
ture of distilled beverages during the
war.
The provision for government pur
chase of distilled beverages in bond,
offered by Senator Smoot, was added
to tiie Robinson substitute by a vote
of 65 to 12 after many senators had
vigorously denounced as confiscation
of distillers' property a provision by
Senator Cummins of Iowa, which pro
posed to prohibit withdrawal of the
warehouse stores.
Senate Reverses Itself.
On Senator Cummins' amendment
the senate reversed itself. After hav
ing been added yesterday to the Rob
inson substitute by a vote of 4a to
bO, it was stricken out today, 43 to 3V.
With the addition of the Smoot
amendment, deletion of the Cummins
provision and adoption of an amend
ment by benator Jones exempting
distilled beverages bought by the gov.
ernment from taxation, the senate de
cided, 46 to 34, against adding provi
sions offered by Senator Pittman of
Nevada, which were originally draft
ed by Senator Gore of Oklahoma and
approved by the senate agricultural
committee, authorizing the president
to suspend the manufacture of beer
and wine and to limit their alcoholic
content.
The Nebraska representation was
directly opposed m each vote, ben
ator Norris supporting the Smoot and
Pittman amendments and opposing
the Robinson amendment, while Sen
ator Hitchcock opposed the two for
mer and supported the latter amend
mcnt. - .
