British Refuse To COnsid-
er Threat; Believe Ger
man Air Offensive Is
Weakening
tRx Assoclnted Pre..,

CBy Associated PreasI
LONDON. Sept. l4.-Adolf Hit
ler transmitted a strong ultima
tum TO the British today demand
ing that Great Britain surrender
or suffer complete destruction
of London.
Late advices stated that the
British have ridiculed the de-
mand, adding their belief that
the ultimatum is another in the
series of Hitler bluffs. They
believe that the Germans are be-
ginning to show the effects of
their blitzkrieg in shortage of
pilots and ammunition and point
ed out that raids today were
much lighter than heretofore.
The eight-hour raid staged by
the NaziS last night, however,
brought no indication of any les
Sening in the air war. British
anti-aircraft defenses and balloon
barrages were again, quite effec-
tive in keeping a major part of
the raiding bombers from central
parts of the city, and a number of
enemy planes were shot down.
Many fires were set by incen-
diary bombs last night, but this
morning all of them were report
ed to be out and the city ex-
perienced its first day in long
time free from smoke pals.
In the meantime, as per sched-
ule each night for the past two
months, the Royal Air Force
continued to pound away at Ger
man invasion ports. dropping
huge demolition bombs on sever
al France and Holland seaport
cities where Hitler may be pre-
pairing an actual invasion at
tempt.
No invasion talk was heard in
Berlin today. nor has it been
ever definitely discussed by the
Nazis. All that came from the
Nazis this morning was opinions
on Hitler's ultimatum sent the
British.
1T will be murder if the war
continues, the Germans averred.
and apparently they held out
hope that the British would capi-
tulate before more "all-out"
maneuvers are directed at Lon
don and other big English cities.
Weather conditions over Great
Britain today continued to favor
the NaziS, with light rains and
clouds making it possible for
planes to fly high over objectives
without being observed. New
type detectorS on anti-aircraft
guns were said to be coping with
this problem effectively, how
ever.
Two buildings in the House of
Commons groups were reported
hit this morning in raids last
night. The great west window
of Westminster Abbey was de-
stroyed when a bomb fell nearby
Advices from Moscow today
hinted at trouble for Germany
when it was stated that the
SOvietS were not at all satisfied
with the axis-power maneuvers
in the Balkans. It was alleged
that Germany had passed many
lies" about the Russians in Ru-
mania.
