RESERVE STRENGTH
DISPLAY IN LONDON
HUGE NUMBER OF RAIDERS y
LONDON, April 17,
London's recuperative powers and reserve strength are shown in the degree in which order has been restored this morning. The majority of 'the great fires are under control, and the gas and water supplies are affected only in some areas.
The "Daily Telegraph" says that between 450 and 500 German planes participated in Wednesday night's raid on London. This was at least twice as many as any previous raid.
Four members of Lord Stamp's domestic staff were also killed in the raid. All were in a concrete shelter, which was directly hit by a high-ex-plosive bomb. Nothing remained of the house but a heap of rubble and broken woodwork; not a brick is left standing and there is not even a stick of recognisable furniture in the wreckage.' ■
