LONDON, June 25-(Tuerday)-
H9-German bombers, losing not an
instant in striking at Britain now
that France has fallen, ranged all
" the island early today, bonn
England and forcing London to its
first genuine air raid alarm of the
war.
Enemy planes roamed as far dis
tant as Wales and the northwest.
No bombings were reported i'm
mediately in London, but night work
ers and sleepy residents FASTENED
to shelters while great searchlights
flung their white beams skyard and
managed to pick out one plane.
No gunfire was heard in the cen.
terspf London.
Cable Circuit Affected
tThe cable circuit over which the
Associated Press London bureau nor
mally communicates with New York
was imperative for several hours
because of the raid, and messages
routed by other means required two
hours to transmit, compared whit the
usual two to 10 minutes. The Lon
don radio was heard on the air at
about 10 p. M. EST, however, by
CHS in New York;.
The raids were of the widest ex-
tent in any n day since the war be-
gan last ept. 3.
They gave quick meaning to the
hasty defense preparations of a Brit
ain supported by a wandering Polish
army and die-hard exiled French
leaders as well as her own subjects.
The French claimed to speak for
the French fleet and the French
Colonial Empire.
London had air raid warnings the
day war was declared, again on
Sept. 4, and on Oct. 10, but no planes
were sighted and the last alarm was
admittedly an error.
But today the drone of planes was
heard before the alarm sounded, and
reports flooded in from distant dis
tricts Of heavy anti-aircraft action.
The raids came just after Harold
