LQNDON, June H.
At leant four of 443 persons wounded In
the German air raid over East London yes
terday have since died, bringing tho death
list today to more than 100.
Search In the wreck oTMhe demolished
buildings Is still going on and It Is possible
that more bodies will be found.
For pure flondlshncss of purpose and In
the ghastly toll of Innocent women, chil
dren and old men. Germany's Intest nerlal
attack was the most murderous of all the
aerial piracy which Kngland has seen.
New destructive and pain-making mis
siles were drppped by the Invaders. Most
of those Injured suffered terribly from acid
fluids contained In many of the bombs. Tiny
children and women writhed In hospital
beds today froni great burns caused by
these murderous missiles.
The buildings damaged were of an utterly
non-mllltary character Schoolhouscs were
Included In those struck. Tiny bodies were
still burled beneath the wreckage today. It
was believed.
The public believes It" nerlal patrols and
anti-aircraft guns drove off the Germans
before they C0uld do more killing over tho
capital. There was' no disposition to
criticize the defensive measures Kngland
realizes that the only way to stop the Ger
mans entirely, would be to cordon tho ulr
with a vaBt fleet of patrol neroplanes Hut
this Is exactly what the Germans want
Withdrawal of machines from the front
would probably take away England's com
plete aerial supremacy on, tho western
front, blind Tleld Marshal Halg's 'eyes"
and perhaps seriously hamper the success
of his great offensive.
rrnLic shows foktiti it:
Because the public realizes this I' was
-raa determined to bear such losses as
yesterday with fortitude. In all tho after
math 5Iscu3Jort.. howiver. there was the
prayer expressed that America would soon
start a vast aerial fleet overseas The
sooner American airmen get Into action
on the western front the sooner can Ger
many's air piracy be stopped In the public
view.
American army medical officers, who are
still In London, got their first glimpse of
warfare when they visited the east end
and other districts. Among these officers
was Dr. Hugh 11. Young, formerly of Johns
Hopkins University, Ilaltlmore, who Is now
a major In the medical officers' reserve
corps of the United States army. Doctor
Toung said It was evident the Germans
were using a form of tire shell.
yinn udmiis rsijD
"The victims." said Doctor Young 'were
Injured not only by flying fragments ot
shrapnel, causing deep penetrating wound
and fractures, but also by scere burns
This Indicated that the German airmen
used bombs of an Inccidlarv character
The bombs were about ten Inches in dla.

A correspondent, who visited one nf the
bombarded areas, found that the damage
dono was comparatively slight and that a
majority of tho casualties occurred among
a group gathering for the noonday meal.
Tho bomb fell upon the roof nf ail eating

In recoid time worked heroically In rescuing
the maimed from the debris.
Tho legs of one man In this group were
shattered below the knees, another's arm
was blown off as he was raising a cup of
coffee to his lips, while a third was seriously
wounded In the chest by fragments nf the
bomb. The clothing of some of the wounded
was torn In shreds and the faces of nearly
all were purplc-hued from the effects of
the explosives.
For nearly an hour after the explosion at
this place the ambulances were busy carry
ing away tho wounded, while great crowds
gathered, anxious to ascertain the Identity
of the victims.
One bntnb which failed to evplode dropped
In a churchyard, digging a hole three feet

For nn hour after the raid the telephone
system of London was swamped with calls
from business men who were anxious to
learn the fate of their families In the sub
urbs. Despite the loud reports of the ex
plosions the telephone girls stuck to their
posts. There were only a few Instances of
any of them deserting their work, and these

A case was blng heard In a court when
explosions were heard In the vicinity.
"I understand there Is an nlr raid going

Justice presiding, "but I think we nre safer

PENROSE FACTION
KIND TO GOVERNOR
Leaders Who Threatened
Annihilation Offer Bigger
Expense Fund
ADVISE $8000 INCREASE
By o Staff Corretponitnt
HAimiSDUna, June 14.
The Penrose leaders In the Legislature,
In backing away from the numerous threats
of factional annihilation mace at the start
of the session, have "gone the limit," bo far
as Oovernor Dr'umbaugh Is concerned,
The printed general appropriation hill, as
amended by the Penrose-controlled Appro
priations Committees of the Senate and
House, has made Its appearance.
In It Governor nrumbaugh has even a
larger sum ft draw on for Incidental and
contingent expenses than the General As
sembly of 1915 granted him despite the
Penrose "exposure" to the effet that the
State had paid for the pressing of the
gubernatorial pants and some expenses ot
the Governor's honeymonn trip.
A flat sum of JSi.sua for contingent ex
penses Is granted In the new appropriation
bill. Two years ago the amount was ap
proximately $34,000. but It Included funds
for the payment of some extra clerical hire
that the executive mansion had to engage.
INCREASE OF $8000
The extra clerical hire for the next two
years Is all taken care of In a separate Item
of $33,760, which will pay th salaries
of the regular clerks and stenographers,
as well as the extra help It Is an Increase
of nlmost $8000 over two years ago.
The Governor's contingent fund of $30.

bill, Is for "the payment of the 'raveling
