"That is the Uhited States' business, not ours, owever, we have had three years of intensive experience in blockdde, and everything we have learned during that time is at the disposal of the United States. "The United States has the power of making any bargain, any stipula- tion it thinks proper with these neu- trals, and this is a very important weapon against Germany.

Loudon, July 9.--An official state- ment issued by the British admiral- try said that ten of the German air- planes which had dropped bombs on London had been brought down. The following announcement was made by the admiralty The enemy raiding squadron was chased by royal naval air rsevice ma- chines from this country and engag- ed forty miles out at sea off the east coast. Two enemy machines were observed to crash into the sea and another enemy machine was seen to fall in flames off the mouth of the scheldt. All our machines re- turned safely. Thirty-seven persons were killed in the raid and 141 injured, it was officially announced. One enemy ma- chine was brought down by the Royal Flying Corps. A most excit- ing running fight between British and German airplanes was witnessed by people in a London suburb, Af- ter dropping a shower of bombs the Germans made off in a southerly di- rection. By the time British avi- ators had reached a height at which they could engage the raiders, and the chase began, machine guns com- ing into action. People Urge Reprisals. v}---The people in the capital are urg- ing that quick reprisals be taken, The west end and fashionable northwestern residential suburbe had a superb view of the approach of the visitors. From the further nothern fringes of the metropolis the raiders swept onward in fairly close formation, more than a score in number, The squadron, which had 'been fly- ing high, then began a swift tobog- san downwards, its speed increasing tremendously under the assistance of gravity, and the planes soon reaching a level evidently less than a thousand yards in their swoop to- wards the central objectives. Meanwhile from all directions an- ti-aircraft batteries were working ilke machine guns, Bursting shra- pnel dotted the air around the on- coming raiders with snarling, vicious black puffs of smoke more numer- ous than the planes. fe seemed im- possible for the raiders completely to escape from the atmosphere of curtain fires surtounding them.

They appeared to be at a lower altitude than in the «/'ast raid, when they exacted such a heavy toll of life in London. Yortunately, a majority of the people in the capital had just enough warning of the raid to enable them to seek safety in basements. Even in basements the effect of the bhombs was felt, the ground trembling as though an earthquake vas In progress. Windows were shaken from frames, plaster from 'rames, plaster from walls, and soot 'rom chimneys, The attack was even briefer than the previous London raid, the new technique -of the Germans being to swoop down to a low altitude, drop their cargo of bombs quickly, and rush homeward. * The Casualties, The official report in regard to casualties follows: Lord French re- ports that the total casualties report- ed by the police up to the present ire: "Killed Men, 27 Metropolitan area: <7, women, 4; children, 3; to- 'al, 34.

Ottawa, July 9._The house of com- mons began sittings Saturday in an effort to expedite the passing of the conscription bill and close the work of the session. There was a fairly good attendance of members, and the discussion of the conscription bill in the committee of the whole was not of a controversial character. Opposi- tion members, however, took excep- tion to the fact that neither the min- ister of militia nor the parliamentary secretary for the militia department was on hand. As soon as the house got inte com- mittee Sir Thomas White rose to deny a statement made by Sir Sam Hughes yesterday in the course of the Borden-Hughes dispute about slowing up on recruiting. Sir Sam told the house that Sir Thomas White had declared in the spring of 1916 that 'we had seat all the men we should send to the assistance of England in this war. Sir Thomas said he desired to give that state- ment a sweeping and unqualified de- nial. It was a fiction, pure and sim- ple, without any foundation in truth whatever. A RUSSIAN PRIEST DECLARES A REVOLT Adherents Seize a Church From Militia, But Are Suppressed. Petrograd, July 9.--Estratidas, a priest of Feodosia, in the Crimea, having been forbidden to preach and sent to trial in an ecclesiastical court on the charge of speculating in char- ity funds, declared a revolt. His adherents seized a church from the militia, after which the church was surrounded by troops. When the militia raided the house of Estratidas, he resisted, and the bishop ordered his arrest and in- ternment in a monastery.
