BY J. w. T. MASON

NCAhtCu AOoS FNoA AAAPNA1
 German bombless visitations over the center of London last night were retaliatory for the British air parade over Berlin the night be- fore. The purpose was to show Germany considered herself compe- tent to meet any British challenge to devastate the capitals. The only essential difference between the raids was that British searchlights picked out the enemy planes flying over London while British planes remained invisible over Berlin.
 Both belligerents are thus engag- ing in warning tactics. It seems evident that neither wants to as- Sume responsibility for bombing the others Metropolitan area, bringing down destruction on its own capital. If, however, these taunting ex- changes continue long enough they might easily lead to 8 real attack through eXasperation which might have dire consequences dLadvan- tageous to both sides.
 The British specifically deny their visits to Berlin have a retaliation motive, which might be interpreted as an indirect suggestion that the capital raids be discontinued. Ger man sky writing planes, too, that smoked a hugh question mark and arrow above London yesterday might have been asking, What's the use?"

First Alien Registered Here Was

It Took 3S Minutes to Work Him Through All
 Details

The first alien to be registered in Waterbury completed the process this morning at 9:38, in the civil service room upstairs in the post office. In order to insure that he would be the first, he arrived at the post office at 7:30, and waited the hour and half until the registra- ton rooms were opened. It took just thirty eight minutes for him to run the gauntlet of filling out forms, being fingerprinted, and talk ing the oath.
 By the time he had been regis tered, about twenty-five others had arrived, and had begun to go through the necessary steps for the federal records. Every alien on ar rival was given a sample form, un- less he had already secured one and filled it out. Some of them then went home to i'll these out at leisure, while others remained at the post ofiice to fill them out at the desks provided for this purpose. On the completion of this first form, each alien then was ques- tioned by one of the stan, to make

 New York, Aug. T.-(UPJ-Wen- dell l.. Willkie has as much chance of winning southern states in the prt rtsidential election this year as he has of capturing the Bronx, Ed ward J.. Flynn, chairman of the Democratic national committee, Saic yesterday.
 The former Democratic leader in the Bronx section of New York city said the south would remain solid for President Roosevelt.
 Flynn criticized recent Gallup polls which reported that Willkie was running ahead of the president ard said that the report was as decep- tive as the polls of four years ago which predicted that Alfred M. Lan- don would win.
 He predicted specifically that the president would carry New York city, New York state and Illinois.
 Flynn said that in view of the number of Willkie for President clubs being formed, he doubted that the Republican nominee could keep campaign expenses below $3,000, 900
 Plenty Money for G. o. F.
 ''The Willkie forces will have un- limited funds in this campaign ? he said. Every source of wealth is behind Willkie at this time and it is safe to say he will spend more than $3,O00,000. The question ot whether he will be able to avoid violating the Hatch act is his worry"

Vessel Expected to Reach
Mined Area Late Tonioht

BERLIN. Aug II LPl.-The Ger
man government washed its hands
of responsibility tonight for the
safety of the United States ship
American Legion, carrying Ameri-
cans home from Petsamo, Finland.
1t said the United States Gov
eminent had declined to heed a
German warning to keep the Ameri-
can Legion out of mined British
waters.
The Lokal Anleger said the
American Legion went north of Ice
land in going to Petsamo and that
the return through what 1t called
British waters was "a peculiar
course" The shortest route home
would be just south of Iceland, it
said.
An article by DNB, official Ger
man news agency, outlining the
American Legion situation, was
headed "indiscreet venture" This
was the first expression of press
reaction.
If the ship, with nearly 900 Ameri-
can refugees from Europe aboard,
pursues its outlined course-be-
tween the British islands of Roma
and Cape Wrath on the northern
coast of Scotland-it will do so at
its own risk, Germany advised the
United States orally through the
United States Embassy here.
The American Legion sailed from
Petsamo Friday night
The course from Petsamo, on Fin
lands Arctic shore, to Cape Wrath
is about LOO miles, more than
two days steaming time.
This, it was pointed out, leaves
time for the United States to re-
instruct the master and advise the
various governments of a proposed
new course.
If the American Legion continues
the originally indicated course, she
probably will move into dangerous
waters by late Sunday night or
early Monday.
