Britons Use New
Anti-Air Tactics

LONDON. Sept. y. CUP)-Mili-
new type of anti-aircraft defense
was employed in London last night
and displayed notable success in
protecting the great metropolis
against German bombs.
With further practice and im-
provements, the experts said, the
system should prove even more ef-
fective in breaking up mass Ger
man raids.
All London was aware of the new
system as soon as German planes
came over. british anti-aircraft
fire exploded with a roar such as
the city had never before heard.
It continued hour after hour with
obvious effectiveness.
Military experts said that the
system was based on new pre-
dictor' method
fThis would indicate use of a
new device for determining more
accurately and exactly the loca-
ton and altitude of raiding planes)
They did not amplify the state
ment However, it was noted that
for the first time searchlight bat
teries that ring London were not
employed.
That led to the possibility that
the AA fire might be directed by
sound amplifiers. Such systems of
fire control have been employed
by the U. S. army and, to some
extent, by the Germans.

Mason Says Signs
Wrong for German
Invasion Attempt
By J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

Renewed reports that Germany
is completing the long heralded
plans for invading Great Britain
do not coincide. from the stand
point of military strategy, with
the present German air tactics. The
natural preliminary TO an invasion
should be an intensive, unremitting
air offensive against the British
aviation arm coupled with devas-
tating bombings at possible coasta
landing places. Instead of these
normally essential pre-invasior
movements, the Germans are con-
tinuing to concentrate their eff
forts upon vengeance raids against
London
1t is possible. of course, that the
German high command believes it
has sufficiently exhausted British
air power and has done enough
damage to the British coast to make
an invasion possible after more
confusion has been caused in Lon
don. Any evidence. however, for
such an assumption is not openly
known.
Concentration of transports and
troops on the German occupied side
of the channel points to technical
preparedness for embarkation. But,
until the way is cleared for the
crossing and landing, an attempt
at invasion would be foolhardy. It
would be in keeping with German
military efficiency, however. to make
advance preparations for embarka-
ton, while awaiting possible turn
of events giving some hope that
the troops could be ferried across.
Weather uncertainties in the
channel usually begin next week.
Appearance of equinoctical gales in
the latter part of September is un-
reliable and the Germans might take
a chance that they would not be
heavy this season. But October is
almost certainly monh of strong
winds alternating with the start
of the foggy season along the Eng
lish coast.
At this time of year the Germans
might count on lucky fortnight
of continuously fair channel wea-
ther. But it is scarcely credible that
the German high command believes
it could conquer Great Britain
within a fortnight after landing
There are two military problems in
volved in IN invasion of Britain.
The first is the landing of troops.
The second is maintaining an un-
interrupted line of communications
forcements and supplies. The sec
ond is the more difficult, for it is
possible a division or two of troops
could disembark at some unexpect-
ed point. But if not backed up ade-
quately. the invaders would GER
tainly meet with disaster. The Wea-
ther might be favorable for an in
vasion at the outset, but a succeed
ing boisterous condition IN the
channel would gravely interfere with
the passage of the essential supply
ships, quite apart from the power
of the British navy to disrupt the
channel line of communications.
Every day an invasion is delay
ed brings "a hours nearer the time
when Americas 50 destroyers traded
to Great Britain will be ready for
action in the channel. The first
group of these additions TO Britain's
defense against invasion could reach
positions in the channel by next
week. if necessary.
