ish time, there were no official re-
ports that the Raj was making
any retaliatory raids into Germany.
The main battles to-day were
on a 250-mile front beginning
nj the estuary OF the Thames
and running the length Of the
English channel and south
coast.
One of the chief German objec-
tives today appeared to be the great
barrage of balloons-the wall OF
gas-bags to which steel cables are
attached-which is designed to pro-
tect important south and south
east coast detectives from attack.
Despite the intensity of the Ger
man attacks. British experts doubt
ed that the raids marked the OPEN
ing Of a real blitzkrieg against
Britain.
Testing British Strength
They said the raids appeared 10
be testing the strength Of Royal
Air Force defensive squadrons in
preparation for the launching of
still heavier aerial attacks which
would seek TO break British morale.
A second objective was held TO be
the damaging Of British ports and
shipping as an aid to the long
range German blockade attempt.
At one south coast town the
German raiders ran into a terrific
barrage of anti-sircraft artillery
The blast from the British guns
brought down two German planes
in flames and some crew members
were seen taking to their para
chutes.
At a southeast town IL Ger
man flyers bailed out by para
chute from five planes which
were shot down. They were
quickly rounded up. One land

the first battles Of the day was
fought at a height Of 1900 10
Is, 900 feet over the southeastern
coast.
In this dogfight British Hurri-
canes and Spitfires attacked a
large formation OF German bomb
ers and fighters which were gun

ceding the appearance Of the Ger
man squadron. other German planes
flying at a great height had put
out a 15-mile smoke screen. The
follow-up planes emerged from this
screen.
