Pitliul Scenes When During London Air
Raid a Bomb Struck Schoolhouse Kill- ing and Mulilating Number of Children and Seriously injuring Others.
(Canadian Prooo Doopatchi)
LONDON-The ‘bombing of a school
house furnished one of the mc-st pl- liable scenes in the whole of yester- day'g air raid by German airplanes. The bomb struck the roof square cut- ting clean through and passing through two class rooms one above the cther, killing some children but sparing the majority. lt finally ex- ploded with terrlfllc force in a room on the ground floor where there were sixty~four little children from dvd to seven years old. ten of whom were killed outright and all the others more or less injured.
The roc-m was filled with the
screams and moans of the tiny sili- ferers many of whom were crying dis- tractedly for their rmotliers.
Helpers who rushed in from out-
side found four women teachers won-

and trying to calm those who were only slightly hurt. Many of the children were lying limp and helpless across shattered desks bleeding from terrible wounds. Others were wri- thilig in pain and some bodies were unrocognizshle.
The helpers removed the victims as
speedily as possible and in the ab- sence oi’ ambulances took the worst cases in tradesmen’s carts to a lios- pital half a mile away. Some of the worst injured died later. In the meantime a crowd of women besieged theshattered ‘building searching ex- citedly for their children and croat- ing distressing scenes. Some were almost insane fro-m grief.

Although brief and to the point. this information is significant to evcri’ man, woman and child in the mari- time provinces. ‘Eastern Canaria has` planted more potatoes this season. than ever before In her history. It would appear that the weather man is not disposed to view the agricul- tural activities with favor.
Through Westmoreland cc-unty and
districts contiguous it is found that much of the low lying land is still nn- der irom one to three inches of wa- ter and the farmers have to he con- t€nt with ploughing and prepsrlnlf thc nplands for seed. Those who have recently traveled through tho marl- time provinces report that the farm- ers have in the majority or instances planted il much larger area than ever before, in spite of the unfavorable weather conditions. The cali to pa- triotism and production has been ncb- ly responded to. but the fruits of these efforts are yet to be seen.

WASHINGTON. June 12.- Slack-
ers will be jailed tonight. The go- vernment. on the trail of those who have failed to register, will make a wholesale round~up today. In the far west the government sweep will prob- ably be the greatest, inasmuch as wes- tern returns show iigures far below the census estimates.
Government heads say the census
estimates are not so far out of the way as to be theoretical c-r visionary. The shortage In registration, compared with census estimates, means that there uro many slackers.
While registration in many respects
has been satisfactory, producing nine million or more men. the response of the west has been amazing to men in charge of the registration. z z Z
it has shown a "siacker spirit." reg-
istration officials say. beyond the comprehension of even the most ard- ent peace at any price advocates.
Regardless of the siackers, however,
America has sufficient mon right now to turn out an army of 2,000,000 men. without claim or hint of exemption. The response of America as a Whole is regarded in military circles as most gratifying.
