Earlier Reports. London, Nov. 1. The most violent aerial bnttlo LJnilon has yet seen mark ed the raid of German nir craft over the Hmtish npital last night. . "Three, hostile aircraft penetrated to the heart of London," Lord French an nounced today. "Bombs were dropped Southeast and southwest. About thirty machines engaged the invadors." The commundcr-in-chief of homo de fense, forces reported that six groups of air raiders had been sighted over tho Thames estuary and along the Kent and Essex coasts. Clouds prevented de cisive engagements with British uir craft. Our assaults were comparatively light. considering tho number uf the machines and the nature of the attack. All seven groups of the Gorman machines followed a systematic course along the Thames, apparently aiming to reach London by sighting their way on the banks of the river. "British aircraft and air guns hor- rasscd the German visitors all along thoir route of flying. The roar of shells was continuous ami ear-splitting." London official statements do ndl give the number of machines in each, group. On other occasions, however, the Germans have been accustomed to fly in groups of from five to ten machines. This would mean that tho total of the air armada which Germany sent out oa her latest baby killing expedition might run anywhere from 35 to 70 American Lieutenant Wounded In Action .
