At one time it was reported the
British were ready to relinquish the
100000 tons building here for the
British flag, but now 1t is said they
are willing to pay the cost of speeding
up but want the ships when they are
completed. The British position is
that as the vessels will be put into
the transatlantic trade the United
States would gain no advantage by
retaining them except that they might
be used to build up American trade
after the war.

Part-Terrific Barrage Sent Up
BY Defense Guns.

guns and the roar of battle lasted for
two and half hours.
The Germans bombed coast towns
as thew passed over and proceeded
toward London. Two of the groups sue
ceeded in getting a number OF ma
chimes through the sky barrage. MI
merous bombs were dropped on the
southwestern district, which is thlckly
populated with the homes of the up
per and middle classes. The fire from
the defending guns was longer and
louder than ever before. A rain OF
shrapnel fell in all sections OF the town
and the streets were virtually deserted
save for a few police.
