Great Britain Gives Details Of Fighting
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR. Limited Press Staff COrreSpOndent|

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 A Southeast Port, England, July 25 -(UP)-Swarms of British fighting planes today drove off new attacks by German aerial raiders on British coastal shipping.
 One German bomber crashed on a farm, near 8 church, during the British counter-attack.
 British air sources told me short ly after noon that an estimated 30 German planes had struck with bombs and machinegunS at shipping in the channel during the morning.
 I saw squadrons of fast British fighting planes wheeling through the sky and converging from all di- rections to lead counter attack on the Nazi raiders.
 Anti-aircraft batteries on shore and on warships at sea opened up on the German planes with an in- tensive barrage.
 Later I was told that none of the ships in the convoy under attack had been damaged but that the German attackers had been scat- tered and driven back across the water.
 (In Berlin, the NaziS claimed to have sunk 28,000 tons of British shipping yesterday and to have shot down ten British planes.)
 Nazi aviators appeared to be con- centrating on attacks on British coastal shipping. A number of con- voys have been attacked in the last few days but in most cases the Ger mans were reported driven of with severe losses.
 A solid wedge of fast-fiying Ger man planes heading directly towards this port led us to believe at first that we were in for a heavy attack. But British pursuit ships zoomed up to meet them and soon the sky was dotted with planes engaged in indi- vidual dog fights.
 From 8 height overlooking the harbor and a smooth sea, through which three or four tiny trawlers plodded. seemingly obvious to bombs falling from the sky, I saw

The Senate Military Affairs Committee has nearly completed the writing of bill that would draft within year such an army of youths who have no de- pendents. It is expected to approve the bill today and send it to the Senate floor for debate Monday.
 The House Military Affairs Com mittee, considering the same bill seeks information on the cost of 8 five-year program which accord ing to military officials, will pro- duce S,000,000 reserves by May IS. 1945.
 Despite the apparent approval of some form of conscription by most members of both committees, the bill faces a long fight in the Senate.
 A hint of the intensity of the debate was given by statements of opposition by Senators Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, a leader of the isolationist bloc, and Senator George w. Norris, Indiana, Nebraska, usually a supporter Of administration policies.
 Wheeler Will Fight
 Wheeler denounced conscription and said he would fight the bill on every front.

 "In the course of series Of att tempted attacks on shipping of the southeast and southwest coasts today four enemy planes were shot down by British fighters and anti-aircraft guns," the ministry said.
 "A fifth enemy plane was shot down by British fighters of the northeast coast of Scotland this morning"
 Described as identical with the Vought Corsair V-156, and of similar type to planes used by the United States navy, the Chance -Vought planes were used as dive bombers Spitfire fighters encountered them twice yesterday, accompanied by German Messerschmitt- fighters
 At the first meeting one Chance Vought and two Messerschmidts crashed into the sea, early in the fight and a second Chance-Vought attacked by a British sergeant-pilot in a Spitfire, fell in 8 spin, with pieces flying from it.

BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor)


 First Lord of the Admiralty A. V. AlexandeE told the house of commons today that German tor- pedo boat had sunk the illuminated and plainly marked French steamship Meknes, carrying 1900 French naval officers and men, with possible loss of 300 lives. The 6,127-ton Meknes which French navy were being repatriated under terms of the French German armistice, sunk off the south coast of England after leaving Southampton Wed- nesday for Marseilles, Alexander said.
 Act Soundly Denounced
 Denouncing the sinking deliberate and calous attack British naval units and aircraft ordered to proceed at to the and happy to that far about 1000 survivors have been reported J. J. Davidson Laborite, asked whether the cabinet would "take steps to that the French people fully m formed?" Certainly replied Clement R. Attlee, Lord Privy Seal.
 Meknes Built In 1913 The Meknes formerly the Puerto Rico, built in 1913 with her home port at Le Havre She owned by French navy aboard the Meknes from the when the armisce signed Those being repatriated had requested such action Many others chose to remain in Britain.
 Germany Admits Act
 Alexander said that he had heard the German high command presumably in broadcast communque, admit responsibility" for the sinking of the Metternich off Port land Alexander said he had heard that 1000 of the 00 aboard had been saved The boat flying the French flag and had the French colors painted her deck and sides and fully illuminated, Alexander said.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-07-25

He said that . motor torpedo boat such as the Germans sent close to the British coast yesterday, sank the Metternich.
 "The ship was torpedoed by . motorboat at 10:30 p. m." Alexander continued.
 "The passengers and crew were given five minutes to take to the boats, but each time the ship tried to signal her name she was again fired on. She sank in four or five minutes"
 T just heard the German high command admit responsibility for this sinking because their commlai- que today stated that in an attack of the south coast of England 'une of our speed boats oil Portland sank large enemy merchandising of 18.000 tons by torpedo
 He said the Meknes was one of . number of ships being used in ac- cordance with terms of the arnis- tice (between France and Ger many) and that Britain had in- formed the French government rep resentatives in advance of her in- tention to repatriate French naval men in French ships.
