These 420, 900 Karelians, along

from the coded territories with the

The government, recognizing the
Karelians' problems as the most

work.
This is the situation at the mo-

Vast areas of swampland a r e

dav. for a British attack on OLD
Heidelberg.
As the German air force struck
back at London with rolling a.
tacks' in reprisal for the bomb
ing of Berlin during the nlgnt'
the high command issued a COM
munioue listing the places attack
ed yesterday when bombs were
dropped on Cambridge. -,
Big fires, the high command said
were seen by German fliers in the
Millwau and India docks area OF
London, at Vauxhall and at HYDE
Park. MillwaIl and India docks lie
at the big loop of the Thames
which forms the Isle of Dogs. Vaux
hall and Hyde Park, the latter
noted for its soap box oratory, are
close to the heart of London.
German pilots reported many,
new fires raging in London, and
added that the ''old fires" near the
India docks we're growing to 81
gantic proportions.
Flames were started at Liver
pool also last night, the high COM
mand asserted. It minimlzed the
military effectiveness of the Raj
attack on Berlin, insisting that only
apartment houses and residential
districts were hit.
The death toll from the raid as
stood today at II dead, IA injured.
German officials were investlga-
ting each of the seemingly numer-
GUS visits by explosive and incen-
diary bombs. Many inflammable
phosphor leaflets were dropped,
Authorities said.
Informed sources said Nazi war
planes began attacking England
early in the morning, roaring on
across the channel in relays TO-
wards London and other detectives
in southern England.
Returning German pilots S
they had effectively bombed" the
India docks and Waterloo station
in London, and reported air fights

These fights were still going on

Of the United States with respect
to the war In their Rome confe-
renee last week, but decided to
fieht Britain without compromise

Authorized sources even went so
far after Ribbentrop's return as to
assert that the attitude Of Bri-

conds'' was interesting only theore-
tically. Practically. they said. it
could not interfere with the pro-
gress of events.
Without going into the details of
the Rome parley, they character
lied the conferences as having in
cluded 'all the. questions neces-
sary for the defeat of Britain"
Not only will there be no COM

against England will be continued

The Axis powers, it was said

order that it is the antithesis of
the British conception Of world
domination.
"Al European peoples possess,
