WAR MOVES ON
 TODAY'S BOARD
tcontinued from Page D

(Continued from Page D of the Italian African forces, he is well aware of the uncertainties ahead of him.
 Mastery of Air
 Should Germany obtain partial mastery of the air over Britain and weaken British command of the Channel, the difficulties of Grazi- ani's task would be much lessened. Egypt's attitude of antagonism might change and the middle east might be awed into subservience.
 There is no present indication, however, that Italy is definitely counting on any such development. Roman newspaper comment recent ly has been repeating that the war will go into next year and may even last two years longer. A fatal break in British resisting power, there- fore, cannot be counted upon by Mussolini in advance.
 If Germany cannot overcome the British defenses, Italy has no as- surance that the French colonial re- volt against the Petain government will not spread through Morocco into Algeria. Should Graziani move forward upon Libya toward Suez, his rear would be open to French colo nial attack from Algeria, which bor- ders Libya's western boundary. Such development would depend of course, upon the French in north Africa taking heart from a halt in German operations against Great Britain, and deciding to throw in their lot with the British. It cannot be known in advance whether any such turn in the war may occur; and for this very reason it would not be good strategy for Graziani to ignore the possibility.
 Scarcely Risk It
 With Great Britain continuing to hold off the Germans, Graziani would scarcely risk using his whole strength in Libya for an offensive across the Egyptian oesert. He might well be expected to hold back a con- siderable reserve to guard against a French north African uprising, thus weakening his offensive power against Suez.
 It seems probable that Germany and Italy understand the delicacy of the situation, since General Wey- gand was ordered this month to proceed to Morocco to try to subdue the growing insurgency. among the French North Africans.
 Weygand has delayed his depar- ture, pleading illness; and he, too, may thus be awaiting the outcome of the intensified German attacks on the British Isles. If the Germans cannot press forward with more in- posing results than they have yet gained, Weygand's illness may per- manently incapacitate him for car- rying out his. obnoxious duty. Tn that event, if an Italian campaign against Suez begins, it must start under a handicap, and under revised strate- gic conditions.

TRAGEDY HITS

(Continued from Page D His friends were dead. What had happened to him?
 Now and again a flicker of hope animated the knots of tired women. Carl Stull, a millwright, came along and tried to cheer them with the story of his miraculous escape. He had been installing new mixers, had gone outside to smoke cigar cite. The next thing he knew, he was crawling, half dressed through twisted steel and rubble of broken glass.
 Nothing Like 1t
 Even in the World War, there was nothing like it." he said. q thought the world had come to an eiad.'
 In the telegraph office, the wires hummed with incoming messages, pitiful in their sinilarity-"heard about the explosion. Are you all rignt?" Many were addressed to dead men.
 A young man, his arm in sling, his head swathed in bandages, limped in. He sent telegram to three addresses. "Was in explosion but am unhurt love-" He reached in his pocket to pay for hsi wires.
 "Oh gosh," he said with twisted smile, T forgot that the blast took my pocketbook with it."
 A man with both. his hands bundled in gauge came in. He dic- tated his telegram and asked the office girl to reach into his pocket for his wallet. She refused but she sent the wirc.
 Mother M0urns Son
 In her home sat Mrs. John Slako silent, calm, refusing to eat, to go to bed. Her 20-year-old son, the pride of her heart was dead. From the moment she heard the explosion she had felt it was so. It came with roar and a rumble, she said, then the door blew open. Then the dishes leaped from their shelves, the sup per jumped off the stove.
 Rushing to the door she cried: My Johnny's gone" When, nine hours later, the official news arriv- ed, her grief had been spent. She refused to view his body.
 "I'll remembr him the way he was," she said. "T don't want to see whats left of him."

BERLIN, Sept. 81. (UP)-New
British bombing attacks on Germany
and methOdical clock-like blasting
of German held channel ports were
reported officially today but the
high command said that Nazi bonn
bers had successfully battered
industrial and railroad targets in
raidS on southeastern England.
Two fleets of British planes were
driven back from Hamburg and Ber-
lin, according to Nazi sources, but
an official reporter on the English
channel coast admitted for the first
time that British planes, night af-
ter night, had been bombing the
Nazi-held ports (bases for invasion
of Britain) with the regularity of

The raids became more intense

porter said, but the British have

Sept. 81. (UP)-Neutral experts in
London believe Hitler will not at

this autumn, but In Berlin Off
cials seem confident that Britain

Hugh Baillie, president of the Unit

"The British general staff still
expects an invasion and would like
it to come now," Baillie said, but
there is a growing belief among
military and naval attaches of neu-

Ter will not make a frontal attack
on Britain this autumn.
Baillie quoted from cables he had
received yesterday from Wallace
Carroll, United Press manager in
London, and Frederick c. Oechsner,
head of the U. p bureau in Berlin.
Carrolls message said it was be-

LONDON. Sept. 81. (UP)-Ger-
man planes resumed daylight. at
tacks on London and southeastern
England today after a night in
which British planes blasted Ger
man invasion bases, airportS and
communications across the English
channel in what apparently was
one of their greatest attacks of the
war.
A brief air raid alarm, one OF
the shortest of the war, was sound
ei IL the London area and anti
aircraft gun fire was heard in
the Genital London section.
Londoners had gone to work re-
freshed by hours of sleep after the
quietest night in IA straight days
of German mass terror attacks.
Explosions Of extraordinary force
were heard in the Dover-F Folkestone
area of the English coast. The
light from them was reflected in
windows along the English side of
the channel.
Watchers on the Dover coast re-
ported that there had been ex-
ploSions ell along the 20 mile
stretch OF German-held coast be-
tween Boulogne and Calais and
that the explosions extended far
inland.
