the main factory and that fires
were visible so miles away.
Other pilots reported that the
Friesler aircraft works at Kassel
were damaged even more seriously
and hits were scored, it was said,
on the very center of the Fock-
Wulfe aircraft works at Bremen
where twice violent explosions dew
astated buildings.
One expert said it was impossible
to estimate the amount of oil and
gasoline destroyed by RAF raids
but, he added ''if Germany had
done to our oil what we have done
to hers, despite the fact that we can
draw on the world for our supplies
there would not be a single private
automobile on the roads today and
the position would be serious"
A captured German pilot said q
map on the walls of the air min
istry in Berlin depicting RAF raids
on the continent showed that the
Ruhr industrial area had been hit
hardest. 1t was claimed that flags
signifying raids in this area were
so thick that it was impossible to

"On the coast the Italians nave
reached Lukhaiyah, about 100 miles
from Berbera," it was said. The
italians are throwing everything
into the attack in hope of an early
decision and British troops are re-
sisting stubbornly
THE italian attack, made on a
wide front, has been pressed with
great vigor and determination. Ital-
ian infantry, supported by tanks,
is preceded by low flying planes,
machine cunning and bombing. In
the first attack a British platoon
was outflanked and driven back
but a counter attack restored its
position
Military quarters said also that
further attacks later also were
repulsed except at one place where
italians made a deep penetration
and captured two guns, That pene-
tration was partially restored"

Hamm is the junction point for
the biggest railroad system in west

north to Munster, Emden and Nor

to Unna and west to Oberhausen.
Air experts expressed opinion that
the attacks on Hamm, perhaps

Mason Says Raids
Show Quick Change
In German Tactics
by J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

Wednesdays delay until the af-
ternoon in resumption of Germany's
aerial semi-blitzkrieg against Brit
ain, despite what the Germans call
favorable weather conditions, indi-
Gates a possible change in Hitler's
air strategy. The previous large
scale raids had continued all day
because the attacks were scattered
over the whole area of Great Brit
ain. Today's offensive, at it's OPEN
ing, was concentrated against more
limited objectives.
The change in technique suggests
the German high command is not
satisfied with the results of what
may be described as haphazard at
tackS. They appear wasteful and the
inland damaged districts do not fit
into the basic German purpose
which is to try to destroy British
ports as an aid to hampering Brit
ish shipping. British attacks over
enemy territory have consistently
been aimed at small objectives, such
as individual ports like Hamburg
vi ldllICu ClUlCo IKE COlOSlG
or the industrialized Ruhr or oil
storage centers or channel ports.
BY concentrating their attacks
the Germans are able to use more
planes against one objective, but
at the same time the British defense
planes can uake in greater num-
bers. This new tactical operation
differentiates Wednesdays battles
from previous ones.
The Germans Wednesday concen-
trated against British balloon de-
fenses, trying to clear away these
dangerous obstacles against dive op-
erations. But the British seem to
have sufficiently large supply in
reserve to replace those destroyed
The result of the fight should give
some indication of the permanent
value of the balloons. This seems
TO be one purpose of the German
maneuVer.

utes air raid alarm.
The same informants said during

been received of continuation Of
German airplane attacks on the
British Isles, but at l p. m. g
a. m. PST) informants said that
they understood that raids had
been resumed this morning lin very
favorable weather"
Explaining the air raid alarm
which startled Berliners from their
sleep early today, informants said
that British planes, flying at a
considerable height, approached
the Berlin area.
The planes were forced back
"a dozen or So miles west of the
city without dropping their bombs.
the informants said, SO there was
no anti-aircraft fire in the city.
Such alarms always are given
when planes reach certain desis-
mated danger zone around the
capital. it was said.
Informants asserted that 1872 Brit
ish planes had been shot down or
destroyed aground yesterday while
only % German planes were lost
The official news agency said
that IA British planes were shot
down in air battles over the Eng
lish channel and the British Isles
that AZ were destroyed by anti
aircraft guns over German terri
tory or on the ground in German

Bombs. Pamphlets
Drop pped on Italy

The leaflets told the Italian that
they were at war to make Hitler
stronger and enable him to exploit
the Italians FOR his war" They
warned the Italians that war with
all its terrors now is at the doors
of your home.'
ITO gain victory and the indie
pendency of Italy your forefathers
rose in arms against tyrants and
chased their hated enemies-thc
Germans-from Piedmont and Lom-
bardy." continued the leaflet. ITO
day Italy no longer is free and
independent In this war, which
you did not want, italy is a vassal
state of Hitler. Why are you in
the war? Perhaps for a greater
Italy? Not at all. You are in the
war to make Hitler stronger and
enable him to exploit the Italians
for his war"
This leaflet was dropped over
Turin. Those dropped over Milan
said:
Italians: Who has dragged you
into war? Are you only slaves
willing to bend your backs to your
hereditary enemy-Germany? Open
your eyes widely because war with
all of its terrors now is at the
doors of our homes"
italian generally were indignant
over the raids, which represented
the biggest bombardment Italy has
suffered since she entered the war.
Alessandria and Tortona, it was
claimed, offered no military OBJ
jectives.
Although italian officials refrain
ed from comment the public gen.
orally expected that Italy would
take reprisals, perhaps in the form
of italian air raids on the British
Isles.
So far Italian bombing has been
confined to British possessions in
Africa and British bases in Egypt
and such strategic British strong
holds in the Mediterranean as NAL
ia and Gibraltar.

Italian Factories
Damaged by Bombs
In British Raids

LONDON, Aug. IA. CUP) The air
ministry reported today that Brit
ish bombers last night seriously
damaged the Caproni airplane fac
tory at Milan and the important
Fiat aircraft factory at Turin
The air ministry reported that
heavy British bombers flew 1900
miles to carry out the attack on
Italy's northern heavy industrial
area.
The bombers climbed as high as
three miles into the air to fly over
the snow capped alps.
'One pilot who was over the Fiat
aviation works at Turin from 1890
a. m. to lis a. m. scored several
direct hits and the roof of the
works was pierced at several places"
the ministry said. He could see
incendiary bombs hitting the pierre
ed roof. and after fierce flames
broke out there followed two large
explosions"
Another pilot was said by the
ministry to have made three sep
arate flights over the works.
He. too" said The ministry
scored direct hits with incendiary
bombs at the south end of the
buildings, causing fires to break
out while one of his heavy bombs
struck the outer end of the works.
when another pilot arrived "a
bout 12:45 a. m. there was a haze
covering the target but it was not
sufficient to conceal it and he,
too, was able to score further hits
with heavy bombs and start more
fires.
"The haze became thicker but
was now lit up by flames as the
fires started by the earlier raiders
took hold and spread.
"One pilot who took up the attack
at one a. m. said that the target
was on fire when he arrived. From
10000 feet he dropped fresh salvoes
of high explosives and more in
cendiares which further increased
the blazing area

Gigantic Dogfight
Sees Dive bombers
RepuIsed on Coast

-DI EDWARD w. DEAL liz
A SOUTHEAST COAST TOWN,
Aug. IA (UP)-British fighter planes
savagely attacked German raiders
today in dogfight over this coastal
town in which more than 100 planes
were in the air simultaneously.
Nine German planes were report
ed downed in the battle. Observers
could see series of splashes out
at sea where German planes were
believed to have crashed after try
ing to dive bomb land objectives.
The dogfight started after the first
German mass raid of the day had
been broken up by British defensive
action.
The first attack of the day was
attempted by 200 German planes.
However, they found a powerful
patrol of British Spitfire fighters
waiting for them.
The German bombers fled under
the British attack and a fierce dog
fight developed between the British
fighters and German escort planes.
The battle was fought for the
most part above the clouds but oc-
casionally the planes dived down
into view. It appeared that scores
OF German r.-.leS were involved
Spitfire Squadrons zoomed into
the clouds, Others streaked in from
the west. Suddenly from the clouds
appeared four German bombers.
They dived low toward the sea
with throttles full open but it ap-
peared they were unable to escape
the attacking British fighters.
Another group of IA or more Ger
man bombers thundered off to the
northeast just under the clouds.
British fighters streaked after them
and it appeared doubtful that many
of this contingent escaped.
Anti-aircraft guns roared from
one end of the town to the other.
The rattle of machine guns made
plain that numerous dogfights were
going on above the clouds.
Occasionally a MeSserschmidt
fighter would shake itself loose
and dive down upon one of the ba-
lloons of the protective barrage,
getting in swift burst of fire at
the gasbag.
The great numbers of British
fighter planes and curtain OF
quick firing anti-aircraft guns
checked the German raiders who
then turned their attention to the
balloon barrage.
Even before the sound of plane
motors had ceased overhead the
balloons to replace those which had
balloons to replace those which had
been shot down in order to pro-
tect against possible follow
through dive bombing attack.
