Raj Downs IS Italian Planes in Biu
Air Battle, Claims Victory Despite
Overwhelming Numbers of Enemy

CAIRO, Aug. 8 CUP)-British
fighter planes, outnumbered two to
one, have downed Is italian fight
er planes in the biggest air battle
of the middle east, Royal Air Force
middle east headquarters asserted
today.
Two British planes failed to re-
turn.
Gloucester Gladiator fighters,
single seat multi-gun biplanes, met
the Italians in the neighborhood
of Sidi Omar, over the italian Lib
yam desert, a communique said.
Their batteries, four machine
guns each. went into action and,
according to the eommunique, tri-
umphed
According to official estimates
the British victory brought the
total of Italian planes downed in
the Near East to 1876 definitely,
with IS probably" shot down.
The Gladiators are compact BIZ
planes. Models now possibly out
dated had an admitted speed of
$50 miles an hour. Two of their
four machine guns are mounted in
troughs in the sides of the fuse
lage, easily reached by the pilot.

There are French soldiers and

moved.
A Chinese spokesman said that the
British decision to withdraw was
of minor Importance" but it was
another move in the direction of
japanese control of the settlement.
A communique issued identically
here and at Shanghai said:
British troops at present sta
toned at Shanghai and in northern
China are being withdrawn for
service elsewhere"
Whether they would be sent to
Hong Kong, the British naval base
on the southeast coast, was not i'm

VISALIA, Cal, Aug. 9. (UP) :
The second federal camp for mi
grant agricultural workers in Tulare
county will be started probably by
the end of this month and con-
struction will be completed next
March, it was learned today from
the farm security administration of
the U. S. department of agriculture.
The camps will be about miles
east of Porterville in southern Tu-
lare county and will be known as
the Woodville farm workers camp.
One of the largest of the Is migrant
camps in California is the Tulare
migratory camp at Farmersville, five
miles east of Visalia.
More than 300 migrant families
will be provided seasonal housing at
Woodville in metal shelters and
tents and 70 additional families will
be offered permanent housing in

dividual farm labor homes and a
duplex dwelling.

It was believed that British
troops withdrawn would be sent to
Hong Kong or Singapore.
1t was estimated here that there
were about 2600 British troops in
Shanghai, about $50 at Tientsin
and about 100 at Peiping.

of the East Surrey regiment and
the first battalion of the Seaforth
Highlanders, with a corps which
includes eight branches of the 9TH

At Tientsin there are some men
of the East Surrey regiment, who
replaced a battalion of the Dur

ment, attached to the British en-
basy in the legation quarter.

British military quarters express
ed belief that Italy's drive against
British Somaliland had started a
fight for the riches of the middle
east over an area about as big as
Europe, with sea power, communi-
cations and water and oil supplies
as the possibly determining fac
ttors.
Weather conditions over the
area varied to such an extent that
some military experts believed that
Italy would be obliged to fight
its war in stages. rather than in
an all-around synchronized drive.

unofficial estimate was, however.
that the Germans had lost 10
planes, bringing the total of Ger
man losses in British Isles fight
ing to 1886 since mass air raids
started June 18. Loss of 16 Bri-
tish Hurricane and Spitfire fighter
planes during yesterdays opera
tions was admitted by the air min
istry.
Experts estimated that so bombers
and 30 fighters had made the first
attack yesterday, that 100 bombers
and fighters had conducted the
second and that $50 bombers and
fighters had conducted the third.
Submarines and E-boats, fast mo-
tor torpedo boats, cooperated.
Wounded survivors of E-boat
sinkings, arriving at a southeast
England port on the way to the
hospital, asserted that the German
planes and E-boats had adopted
the German tank-plane technique
used on the continent.

fighters. Thus, the counter -offen-
sive of the home planes, in the
aggregate, possess more attacking
strength for air battles with fewer
planes.
British figures show 400 German
planes were engaged with a loss of
60. 1t has been shown in various
ways since the beginning of the
war that while the British conceal at
times announcements of individual
ships that have been sunk, their
statements of aggregate casualties
usually seem facutal.
If it be true that the Germans
lost 60 of a total of 400 planes
this corresponds to Is per cent of
effectives killed in a land battle.
No commander could afford to con
tinuation Of such slaughter, which
would strain his reserves too sever
ely. The loss to Germany must be
measured more in terms of. trained
airmen than actual planes.

Thursdays attack by German air.
men and armed launches against
British coastal convoy represented
secondary phase in the battle of
Britain. 1t may be called the battle
of the channel, and, like previous
channel offensives by German avia-
tors, the purpose is to disorganize
British coastal communications CEN
tering around London.
The attacked convoy was not
bringing supplies from overseas, be-
cause channel ports are no longer
used as import terminals. The
vessels were distributing goods from
other British ports. In an emer-
gency this freight could be carried
by rail and motor trucks, but to
do so would place a strain on the
British land transport system. So,
the risk has been undertaken for
some time of utilizing coastwise
shipping, despite the dangerous
proximity of German bases along
the French coast.
The Germans are hoping to make
the channel SO unsafe for coastal
transport that domestic distribu-
ton methods will have to be revised.
The channel offensivee has no bear
ing on the ability of Great Britain
to keep open her trans-ocean lanes
for her food ships. This is a diff
ferent problem facing the German
strategy of blockade.
Thursdays encounter was tn e
second recent German offensive
against channel conveys. The first
found the British unprepared with
sufficient airplanes for counter-at-
tacking, and the German success
was proportionately greater The
engagement yesterday shows the
British have now devised a concen-
trated air defense for channel con-
voys making German offensives in
this area very costly
Whether the cost is too great for
the results will be shown by future
German action. If there is no quick
resumption of German offensives
over the channel, the conclusion
must be that the British defense
has been too effective. In any such
engagement, the home air force
has a definite advantage in resist
ing an enemy air attack A large
part of the enemy planes are bomb
ers, dependent on fighting planes
for protection. All of the defend
ing planes, on the other hand, are

LONDON, Aug. 9. CU2) British
planes shot down 60 German
planes and damaged many others
in a day of blazing air battles
over the English Channel yester-
day, the air ministry asserted to-
day in revised estimate.
Another plane was shot down by
aircraft guns off the north
east coast of England this morn
ing.
Loss in British planes was still
put at 16, but it was said pilots
of three of them were now re-
ported safe, though two of them
were wounded.
Claim of a big victory in the
fighting was matched in Royal
Air Force middle eastern command
communique issued at Cairo, which
said British planes, outnumbered
two to one, had shot down fifteen
Italian fighter planes with the loss
of two of their own.
German planes swept over Eng
land and Wales again during the
night, and intensified their oper-
ations at dawn in triple threat
attempt to blockade the British
Isles by airplane, motor torpedo
boat and submarine.
Casualties and material damage
were caused when bombs fell in
crowded residential area of a north
east England town.
Hundreds OF planes had bombed
and machine gunned shipping
throughout yesterday and scores
of others had bombed land OBJ
jectives. 1t was estimated that the
Germans had used at least $50
planes in the attacks on conveys
and the Daily Express put the
number at 10000 fighters and
300 bombers.
1t was asserted officially that
in the days fighting at sea the
Germans had lost SO planes, 10

Tommies Quit Shanghai as
Britain Bows to Japanese

LONDON. Aug. g. CUP) Great
Britain today ordered withdrawal of
British troops from Shanghai and
North China for transfer elsewhere
IN the Far East following request
Tor such action understood to have
been made by Japan.
The British government engagd
IN life and death struggle in
Europe and in serious dispute with
Japan, was understood to have de-
cided in principle on the troop with
drawal about two months ago. Brit
ain had between 1000 and 5000
Atroops in Shanghai, Pieping and
Tientsin.
1t was stated that the Japanese
made this request" to Britain
simultaneously with japanese de-
mands for closing Of the Burma
road and otherwise cutting off sup
plies to the Chinese.
Britain informed the United
States, which has forces stationed
in Shanghai, of the decision, but
there was no indication here wheth-
er United States troops would be
available in the future to patrol
the British sector of the Inter-
national settlement.

Japan Minimizes
Troop Withdrawal

TOKYO, Aug. 9 (UP)-The with
draWal of British troops from China
was regarded by japanese today
as an expected development but it
generally was believed that the fu-
ture status of American and Ital-
ian forces in Shanghai would be
of greatest importance in Japan's
campaign to restrict foreign influ-
ence in the Far East.
The British withdrawal, of which
the British embassy notified the
foreign office, was considered by
diplomats as part of the efforts of
the London government to zap
pease" Japan.
1t was pointed out that in event
of break in relations between the
two countries, Britain would not
be able to defend Shanghai, Tient-
sin or Peiping. Therefore, it was
suggested in diplomatic sources, the
British might be withdrawing to
give Japan bloodless victory while
they prepared for stiffer resistance
elsewhere in the east.

principally among Americans OF
German descent, has offered $1,000

tries for prices ranging from $245
to $310, it was disclosed today
Many letters advertising the
bonds have been received in the
San Francisco area.
The Security Il Exchange Com
missions San Francisco office said
it has made routine" report
on the case to its Washington Off
ice.
One SEC spokesman said that as
far as his records showed, the
firm was not registered. The local
records. however, showed registra-
tions only up to and including
July l.
Citing the successful German
offensive" in the European war
and the consequent end of the
campaign in France" the firm S
literature told prospective German
American clients in German Ian
guage literature that the demand
for first-rate German securities
has increased greatly in the past
few weeks.
The company stressed that be-
cause of a shortage of foreign
exchange" in Germany, the bonds
when matured, must be cashed
only in reichmarks instead of dol
lars on the basis of az marks per
dollar or $500 marks per $1,000.
The company offered bonds
against some Of Germany's most
important industries. Among them
were I. c. Farben, huge chemical
