No decisive results are being OBJ
tanned by the continuous German
air attacks against Great Britain,
nor is the outlook favorable for any
spectacular turn of events in Ger

commentators now expect Germany
to delay decisive" operations un-

admit the lack of important Ger

BERLIN. Sept. Is. (UP)-Reieh
Marshal Hermann Goering, COM
mander of the Nazi air force, per-
sonalIy piloted a German bombing
plane over London during Sundays
air battles. it was disclosed today
by an authorized source.
Goering recently had been in
northern France, directing mass
attacks of the last 10 days against
Britain and specifically against Lon
don.
Goering piloted a Junkers 33 type
bomber. escorted by two Messer-
sclmitt destroyer planes.
The destroyer planes, which carry
cannon. flew on each side Of the
air chiefs plane.
After returning TO his headquar-
ters at small village in Normandy
Goering was said TO have explained
that he was most impressed" by
the effects Of the German lombard
ment of London.

peared 10 be unusually daring in

British competence ana tenacltY.
Having no such intensified feeling
Of thwarted ambition which domi-
mates German animosity against
Britain, the italians are able to
obtain a better perspective. Their
advice to Germany would certainly
be against taking reckless chances
in the war.
An example of uncertainties
which the italians seem to feel is
the long threatened invasion of
Great Britain. 1t had been persis-
tently reported that the invasion
was to begin during this past week
end. If it had started in accor-
dance with such predictions, be-
cause of the full moon, the channel
weather alone would have worked
havoc with the German transport
barges and small craft.
A semi-gale suddenly appeared in
the channel on Sunday which
would have caught the Germans
as troops and supplies were cross
ing. Later in the day the wind
moderated but blew from the Brit
ish coast. which in itself would
have hampered landing operations
through the surf, lashed by the pre-
ceding heavy weather. Such un-
practicable con Id j ions emphasize
the value of Italy's restraining in
fluence.
Italian caution and realism must
be expected to show themselves in
north African operations. T h e
movement of italian troops across
the Libyan frontier toward the
sandy spaces of the western Egyp-
tian desert has not yet taken the
form of major offensive.
Hitherto the British have oc-
cupied the frontier stretch whence
they have been making light raids
into italian territory. Marshal
Graziani now seeks to terminate
this condition, and he has moved
a considerable force several miles
over the frontier. apparently with
that immediate purpose.
The Italian were to start a hasty
march along the Mediterranean
coastal road, which is the direct
way toward Alexandria and Suez,
they would expose themselves to
severe shelling from British war
ships. Marshal GRAHAM is an ef-
ficient tactician who is wary of
desert traps.
IF, indeed, he now has in mind
a major attack across 500 miles of
desert, slow movements would seem
the most advantageous. But it is
uncertain as yet what his basic
purpose may be. At the present
he is probably testing out the Brit
ish defenses before determining his
next move.

LONDON, Sept. 16. tUP)-The air

Fog Settles Down
Over Channel as
Artillery Blasts
BY ARTHUR MENKEN

DOVER, Sept. Is. (UP) - Pea
soup fog closed in over the English
channel today after an artillery
duel between German and British
long range guns.
Eleven persons were wounded in
Dover but none was killed in the
brief exchange of fire between the
German and British heavy bat
terieS.
Soon thereafter weather condi-
tions on the channel-already mis-
ty and rainy-got worse.
A typical channel fog closed down
and blotted out visibility. The
ceiling was zero and it was i'm
possible to see more than ashun-
dred feet out over the grey chan
mel waters.
The wind which had chopped up
the water off the English coast
died down somewhat.
1t appeared that conditions for
a German invasion attempt were
growing poorer although officials
admitted that the danger was by
no means past. Tides will con-
tinue high for several days.
However, belief was that the fog
would provide a great handicap to
any landing attempt. While it
might aid German invasion boats
to approach the coast without de-
lection the weather appeared to be
SO unfavorable to flying as to pre-
vent the use of airplanes to cover
any landing.

ties Sunday in which record
breaking total of 1876 German craft,
or one third of the, attacking fleet,
was officially reported to have been
destroyed. +5s
Bombs, including m e time :
bombs, were dropped on the Lon
don area during the fourth air
alarm of the day. The German
planes met a terrific anti aircraft
barrage that seemed to center over
the Thames estuary.
A heavy anti-airct'aft barrage
in the London area greeted Nazi
planes-most of them apparently
on reconnaissance during the
fuorth air raid alarm of the day.
The German raiders flew directly
over London, where heavy machine
cunning was heard.
Other German squadrons flew in
from the southeast coast heading
toward London, but were intercept..
ed and driven back toward France.
Meantime, it was disclosed that the
famous Tate gallery mad been hit
by a bomb during last weelk6 raid,
but officials said that all art trea-
sures had been removed.

BERLIN, Sept. 16. tUP)-UnfaV-
orable weather conditions failed to
halt Nazi aerial attacks on gas
works. docks and aircraft factories
in London and on the coast OF
England, the high command said
today after two British air raids
on the Berlin area.
While Nazi sources threatened
new reprisals against London be-
cause of bombing thrusts toward
Berlin, the high command reported
that German bombs had started
new fires in London and the great
commercial cities of Birmingham
and Liverpool while Nazi planes at
tackled ship conveys as far away as
the Irish coast and the east coast
of Scotland. e#
Two ships totaling 1900 tons
we're reported sunk, or set afire and
a third was severely damaged. An
8,O00-ton ship was sunk in the Eng
lish Channel, the high command
said.
In regard to the British attacks
on the Reich, the high command
said that British planes which were
unsuccessful in attempts to reach
Berlin dropped bombs on residential
quarters in western Germany.
British air losses were listed. at
10 planes and German at 43 planes.
More mines were reported dropped
in British harbors. -. zzs..
Gas works at Bromley were struck
with a heavy bomb" the commu-
nique said in reference to German
raids on London during the night.
Oil tanks were set afire and rail-
road stations as well as war indus
tries in Woolworth and other parts
of the city were bombed.
Severe air battles developed. Har-
Dor works at Dover ard Portland
and aircraft factories at South
ampton were bombed"
There were few details of the
British raids against the Reich. but
two alarms sounded in Berlin.
It was the first time since the
war started more than a year ago
that Berlin had had two air raid

Italy Strives to
Avoid War With
EuVpiian Forces
By REYNOLDS PACKARD

ROME, Sept. 16. CUP)-Italian
forces are driving on the British
base of Marsah Matruh in an Of
fensive into Egypt, the high COM
mand said today. but an authorita-
tive source reported that italy is
attempting to avoid formal war with
the Egyptians.
The italian advance, it was as
serted in responsible sources, is
only at war against the Britis.,
forces in Egypt and not againt
the Egyptians. Italy was said to
feel that Great Britain cannot be
permitted to use Egypt as base
for operations against Italy. .
While this might be considered
''de facto" war, it certainly is not
de Jure" war against Egypt, those
sources insisted, distinguishing be-
tween actual warfare in Egypt and
war aimed against the Egyptians.
The capture of the Egyptian town
of Sollum, for instance. was nee
essary because the British used it
as militray and air base to launch
five attacks on Libya, it was said
The capture of the desert base
was said to have ended the danger
of British surprise attacks and CIV
en- the Italian the only natural
harbor between Libyan and Alex
andria. which apparently is the
main Italian objective in their drive
to cut the Suck canal life line"
of the British empire.
Italian forces were said to have
advanced toward Marsah Matruh
over a coastal highway which passes
through Bugbug, 40 miles from the
Libyan frontier, and thence through
Sidi Barrani and Marsah Matruh
to Alexandria.
