IN SCOTTISH PUBLIC HOUSE HOUSES DAMAGED IN LONDON. CASUALTIES IN CAPITAL NOT NUMEROUS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.3 a.m.) RUGBY, November 6. An Air Ministry and Ministry of Home Security communique states: “Reports of last night’s raids on this country show that in a town in East Scotland a public house was demolished and a number of persons sheltering there were killed. In London, though damage to houses was more widespread than was at first thought, the general scale of damage in the capital during the night was not heavy and it is confirmed that the number of casualties is not large.” LONG NIGHT RAIDS ALL CLEAR IN LONDON AFTER SUNRISE. DEATHS IN CROWDED AREA. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.3 a.m.) LONDON, November 6.
