gave us all the needed information
that is necessary to keep our
bodies physically fit SO that we
too might serve as living examples
for ourselves, communities, county,

 by Troops
tBy ASSOCIATED PREsS)

Nazi warplanes explosively shat tered the one day Hull in bombing assaults on the British Isles by subjecting the kingdom to machine gun attacks on villages, dive bomb ing blasts on steamers, and vide spread raids in Wales and on the English Channel.
 The German High Command re- ported attacks were made on big military camp at Aldershot, Eng lands Plattsburg, about 30 miles southwest of London.
 Airports, factories and harbors in South and Central England also were bombed and strafed.
 At least five persons were report ed killed, including one woman slain by bomb splinter and four elderly persons in a Southeast England town
 Fires Started
 The Nazi command said big fires were observed after bombing indus trial and armament plants.
 It was also reported Germa Il troops were landing on the French island of Oussant, off the coast of Brittany and commanding the south gateway to the English Channel
 Bad weather in the past twenty four hours sharply curtailed both British and German air raiding, the raiders who had lashed at each other almost constantly since the Battle of Britain began June Is.
 Storms Down Coast
 Six Nazi Stuka bombers stormed down on English Channel steamers this morning, but eyewitnesses said the ships apparently escaped harm and one of the raiders was believed to have been shot down.
 The fury of the German on- slaught stirred speculation as to whether or not it Signalled the op- ening of the mass invasion phase of the war with 100000 Nazi troops which the French newspaper Le Petit Dauphinois had said earlier this week might come Friday.

 -Warns His Ministers

LONDON, July 13.-Prime Min ister Winston Churchill today pro ferred the good offices of Great Britain to end the three-year- -olol Chinese Japanese war by peaceful means alone.
 Churchill told the House of Com mons that Great Britain has con- cluded an accord with Japan which closes the Burma Road against war supplies to China because Great Britain is bound to take note of the dominant fact that now she is engaged in life and death strug- gle"
 Churchill said Great Britain has no desire to interfere in the legiti- mate aims of either China or Japan but exigencies in the situation has compelled Great Britain to make the Burma Road accord as a "tem- porary arrangement in the hope the time so gained may lead to an equitable solution to both. He emphasized the grave char acter of Great Britain's position now and asked all minister whose duties are intimately connected with the conduct of the war" to sleep in their offices. He asserted that his reasons in so doing were sufficiently obvious.
