 Dear Sir: If there is man among you, between the ages of 38 and 90, wishing a wife please let me know. I am no adventures but there is too much Irish in me I'm 35, and decent.

 The reason I have nothing oi nc one now is; I am the oldest of eight children, had a worthless fath- CT and have spent my years help ing family who have given me the go-by.
 My health is unusually good.

BERLIN, Sept. 20. (UP)-German
sources said that large bomber forces
today smashed heavily at Great
work. CThese transport lines are
vital to troop movements if Nazi
invasion landing should be at
tempted on the southeast coast)
Strong bomber squadrons, said
the German sources, took off in
good flying weather this morning
and attacked main junction points
and the right of way of the South
ern railway.
The attack was carried out from
southeast London to Newcrossgate,
south BEmondsey and Queens Aoad
stations.
British defenders attacked to
break up the German bombing at
tempt, the German sources said
and in the ensuing dogfight six
British planes were shot down.
1t was the first time Ger
man sources had spoken of Nazi air
attacks concentrated on the South
ern railroad network although pre-
vious claims of important damage
to stations in London and transport
facilities around the British capi-
tai have been made.
The German air action followed
night in which British planes
raided western and southern Ger
many, killing at least four persons
and wounding eight.
In western Germany the British
planes again dropped small slaDs
of incendiary material but caused
no damage, the agency said.
Meanwhile, newspapers reached
new highs in denouncing Great Bri-
tain for bombing military OBJ
jectives" in the Reich.
For the first time since the start
of the war the German high COM
mand admitted today that yester-
day its losses in the air were great
er than those of the British. But
it admitted merely that three Ger
man planes were lost, against one
by the British.
The three to one ratio was con-
sidered all the more remarkable
here since the high command usual

Japan Preparing
For Showdown With
U.S.. Over Demands

SHANGHAI, Sept. 20. CUP) =
Authoritative reports from Tokyo
said today that Japan was prepared
for a major crisis in relations with
the United States over Indo-China,
where Japan was believed to be
seeking by means of ultimative de-
mands permanent airplane and ma
val bases.
1t was asserted here that Japan
had presented to French Indo-C China
authorities an ultimatum expiring
at midnight Sunday containing a
series of drastic demands of which
the most important were believed
to concern military bases.
Belief was expressed in authori-
tative quarters here that an I'M
perial conference at Tokyo yester-
day resulted in an irrevocable deci-
sion TO start an immediate eXpan-
sionist push southwark which would
include the Netherlands East Indies
Dispatches from Indo-China dis
closed that japanese nationals were
being evacuated in expectation of
trouble.
However, authoritative Tokyo re-
ports were that the japanese were
confident that Indo-China officials
would accept their demands at the
last minute, especially in view of
the speech at Vichy yesterday of
Paul Baudoin, foreign minister who
Salo that the United States had
promised no material support if
france resisted Japanese demands
on Indo-China.
however, the Tokyo advices said
the Japanese expected American
reclamation against any move as
regards Indo-China, and the proh-
ability of new, stiff American en-
oargoes on goods which japan needs
were foreseen.

LONDON, Sept. 90 CUP)-Ger-
yman bombs crashed on the London
farea again today but British fight
ing planes broke up a daylight Of
fensive by several hundred raiders
and sent the Nazis Fleeing in dis
order back across the English
channel to France.
While London crowds cheered the
triumphant British fighting planes
the ministry of information issued
a statement declaring that Adolf
H Htler's bombers could never des-
tf0k" Britain or British morale and
quoting observers as estimating
that it would take the German air
fleet 40 years at the present rate
to wipe out" London.
Stiff air battles ragged all along
the southeast coast and the Thames
Estuary as British fighting planes
i'm large numbers went out to meet
the Gerr,ans and turn them back,
reportedly shooting down several.
Dispatches from Dover said that
after a series of battles the Ger
man attacking fleet was seen "flee-
ing in disorder" back to France
At least IL German planes were
reported shot down, one falling in
flames on hill near Dover.
The attack had been made from
several directions, with one Ger
man squadron coming up the
Thames Estuary where it was broken
up and driven off by British de-
tense planes.
An air ministry communique said
of the British night raids:
During last night Royal Air
Force bombers successfully attacked
communications in Germany, in
cMding the Dortmund- Ems canal,
besides several ports and airdromes
in enemy occupied territory"
Big formations raced across
Kent in today's first attempt to
attack London and the drone of in
vading planes was heard here.
Coastal anti-aircraft guns went
into action against several squad
rons of Messerschmitts which were
flying comparatively low, apparently
to draw the attack away from high
flying bombers. In all, several
waves of German planes of various
types crossed the coast.
was estimated that about 200
German planes thundered inland

BY J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

Berlin'S estimate that the was is
costing Germany $60,0O0O0O daily
means that the Germans are pay
ing approximately twice as much
as the British to carry on the con-
flict. Figures announced in Lon
don last July, when the budget
was introduced in the house of
commons show the war eXpendi-
lures for Great Britain had then
risen to $32,OOO,OOO per day.
Germany's population, however,
is approximately twice as large as
Great Britain's so that the per
capita war cost is about the same
for each belligerent. The British
are raising 35 per cent of their
funds by taxation and IS per cent
by domestic loans.
The Germans have been getting
about 40 per cent of their war
costs by taxation and somewhat
less than the remaining 60 per
cent by loans. The balance has
come mostly from profits of state
enterprises and penalties imposed
or. Jews.
How long Great Britain and Ger
many can continue these enormous
expenses will have bearing on the
eventual outcome of the war. The
limit of costs has not yet been
reached for either side. Great Brit
aims active warfare in Egypt will
add to the conflicts expenses as
will the increased production of
airplanes. Too, next spring prob
ably will see a great air offensive
against Germany by the royal air
force, which will be costly.

Costs Of War May Have Determining
Effect on Outcome, Mason Believes;
England in Better Financial Spot

Germany now is facing the proba-
bility of attempting a new military
momement in the middle east, es-
pccially if the German high COM
m2Ad definitely refuses to en-
dorse Hitler's plans for an inva
sion of Britain. An idle German
army for the future duration of the
war would be hard to associate with
Hitler's ambition for complete vic
tory. Added war expenses are
Therefore as seemingly inevitable for
Germany as for Great Britain.
The present British tax rate be-
ing lower than the German propor-
tionate to expenses gives the Brit
ish a financial advantage as the
war costs rise. The British have
a larger reserve in this respect on
which to draw. Borrowing capacity
has not reached the limit for
either side; but for Germany ex-
cessive borrowing carries the peo-
pies memories back to the infla-
tionary period following the last
war, when German Marks eventu-
ally became worthless.
In general, Great Britain's fl
nancial strength is much greater
than Germany's, SO that the risk of
dangerous initiation is far less. Prof.
Mario Mazzuchelii, Italian econo-
mist, stated last month that Ger
many's gold reserve totals $757, $780,
900. This sum includes gold siezed
in Austria. CzechoSlovakia, and else
where. Italy's gold reserve how
ever, is only $l25,OOO,C00; and Ger
many must use part of her own
metal to bolster the Italian financ-
ial structure if it shows signs of
