War Moves On
 Today's Board
BY J. w. T. MASON United Press War Expert)

Reports that Italy is preparing fol offensive operations directed against Egypt and, the Suez Canal are mo- dified by intimations from Rome that the starting order may be de- layed until Germanys intentions toward Great Britain are more definitely determined, and their re- suits made plain. Mussolini will show good military judgment if he does not commit himself to a major cam paign in north Africa while the out come Of Hitler's present and imme- diately prospective blows against the British remains uncertain.
 A serious check to Germany, if ar invasion of Britain were attempted or even abandonment of the project not only would strengthen British power but also might have decisive influence upon the wavering attitude of the French north African colo nies. The Italian high command must take these possibilities into consideration in estimating the pos abilities of success in their desert campaign.
 Warfare on a large scale in Africa would be difficult for Italy at best The sandy terrain and the lack of water require special means of transport considerably harder to operate than the maintenance of lines of communication in Europe Marshal Graziani is Europe's most competent military master of desert conditions.

 Berlin, Sept. 3.-(UP)-Great fires were raging on both sides of the Thames in London today after bombs of all caliber fell on London docks in raid in which German planes broke through British bar rage defenseS in southern and southeastern England. the official German news agency said today.
 German quarters, describing what they said were devastating raids on Britain, admitted that British planes had bombed Essen, in the vital Ruhr industrial area, Bremen, one of Germany's chief ports, and Hanover, during the night.
 New raids on London occurred earily this afternoon, D. N. B. said.
 "Blazes were visible from dis tance, indicating the extent of the success of the raids," the agency claimed.
 Germans admitted that the Bri- tish, raiding Essen, dropped bombs in a suburban street and destroyed some workers houses.
 It was disclosed that, though this was the first raid on Essen in four nights, there had been only one night since May 1 that there was no air raid alarm.

There were 34 known dead. Sev- eral men were missing and more bodies were believed to be in the unexplored ruins. There were 83 injured in two nearby hospitals, Sev- eral of them near death.
 The whole smokeleSs powder sec ton of the plant, where work was being speeded on a $2,000,0 900 govern ment defense order, was leveled to the ground. A dynamite-making unit escaped damage, however, and the morning shift of workers filed back to the grounds. Casualties had decimated the plants force of 1,200 employees, but the survivors were all put to work, making dynamite clearing debris and hunting for bodies.
 The scene was SWarming with t1- vestigators representing the Army and Navy Intelligence Services, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Dies Committee Investigating rm- American activities, the New Jersey legislature and police. Some of the secret agents had come by taxicab from as far as Virginia.
 Search Is Delayed
 A search of the ruins was delayed by srnouldering fires, which had burned fitfully all night, accom- panied by puffs of alcohol vapors. Over more than half square mile hot stones and bricks and molten steel lay in heaps.
 Awaiting an opportunity to get onto the grounds, investigators questioned surviving workers, some of whom said that several employees of the Hercules and the Picatinny Army Arsenal at Dover, nearby, had been discharged recently as the af- termath of joint Ku Klux Klan- German American Bund meeting at the Bund,s Camp Nordland, 10 miles from here.
 The dead were laid in an impro- vised morgue, the injured distribu- ted among hospitals at nearby Dover and Morristown. Most sur

 Loved Ones
BY JOAN YOUNGER United Press. Staff CorrespOndent

| AOAAh~AA &~ANN,fAr JStSAA@ SUAACSROAAuCAAbD Dover, N. J., September 13 = (UP)-There was no sleep for the anxious women of this stunned town.
 They roamed the streets through the night, or fingered in front of the hospital, or gathered in small groups before the barn like build ing of the Athletic Club, in which the wounded were on cots, row on row. They gazed hopefully at light ed windows and listened Stolidly to the screams that rang through the marrow streets at intervals.
 One woman awakened her hus- band and persuaded him to take her to the gate of the Hercules plant at nearby Kenvil. There, beside the parked automobiles of the men who would never claim them, she told her worries to the marines on guard. She had had a nightmare, she said. Was there any news yet of her son? Her husband was safe, but she could never sleep again until she knew what had happened to her son.
 Stand Before Hospital
 All night women stood in front of the Dover hospital. The shining lights from the surgery ward, and the screams of the sufferers told the watchers that there were life and death struggles within those walls.
 One woman who had waited quiet ly for 10 hours suddenly gave way. There was one loud wail-and she held her hand over her mouth.
 "If only I knew, if I only knew" she murmured to herself. Her hus- band had been in the powder plant.

 Confusion at Palace

 One big piece of stone blown into the air hit an electric street lamp in the center of the road, smashing it. Park policemen dashed about extin- quishing incendiary bombs.
 The three injured members of the palace staff were in a shelter close to the wrecked chapel. Their injur- ies were treated by the palace ambu- lance staff.
 When the all clear signal sounded. the king and queen inspected dam. age to the chapel, where Princess Margaret Rose and other members of the royal family were baptized.
