London, Nov. 19.
JULY one lone German scouting plane appeared over the London areas last night, making it one of the quietest nights in weeks.
The extremely cloudy weather and a thunderstorm were probably responsible, informed quarters said.
With the exception of a recent Sunday, when the all clear' siren sounded at six-thirty p-m., and no alarm was heard for twenty-four hours, last night and yesterday: were' probably the lightest in many. weeks.
At nearly midnight last night the alarm announced the presence of a German scouting plane. Anti-aircraft fire went into action against.the lone plane, and after the departure of the scouting ship the "ghost raid" status was resumed. 2 Another "ghost raid" was reported shortly after midnight last night, although absolutely nothing was heard throughout the London. area. Gunfire was reported in the outskirts of London, but no bombs were dropped, it was said.
German raiders, however, were attive elsewhere in Britain, dropping fares and bombs on Liverpool, it was reported. German raiders also were reported to be over southwest England areas.
