roar of two rapidly following ex'

were lobbed over, with similar re
suits.
Then came the %pattering of feet,
and cries and curses-rapidly re-

Coral followed suit. When they had
emptied their magazines, Gun
made a trumpet of his hands and
shouted:
II wouldn't try that any more"
The answer was a spate Of pic
turesque invective in Italian, and a
couple of yellow stabs in the dark
ness, as a couple of the attackers,
ir. their fury, loosed off their rifles.
Then more curses, and the sound
of blows, as the men who had dis
obeyed orders were summarily
dealt with.
In the air above the defenders
a bullet sang, and then hit the
concrete wall behind them with a
dull plug.
Gun wiped the perspiration from
his brow, and Tommy commented:
What the devil! I've heard of
sitting on a powder magazine, but

to do it II"
"Shut up!" snapped Gun. And
listen-there's something doing
over there!"

Darkness and silence once more.
The defenders reloaded their rifles,
and saw tn the bombs we're
ready to hand.
Then came more sounds out of

Coral murmured.

Early said today, however, that
Mr.. Roosevelt might not speak in
Baltimore. Instead, he said, the
address may be made at the Acad-

Early said that the president will
not travel farther west than Cleve-

1t was different from any other

Early in the morning the van-
guard of the Cole Bros. circus be-
gan to arrive on the flats east of
the business district for an after
noon performance. BY forenoon the
circus ground was dotted with gay

noises more native to the jungles

Bomb Sight Given
To British? War"

Defense Arms After
Election? Chiefs Mum

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
UP)-War department Of
ficials had mo comment" on
reports that the United
States bomb sight had been
released to great Britain, despite
a demand by Sen. Rush D. Holt,
D., w. Va, for information on the
subject.
Il asked the war department to
state if it is true that Great Brit
ain has been given access to our
bomb sight, as has been reported il
some official circles" Holt said in
the senate. Il also ask if it is
true that England has been prom
ised some of our flying fortresses
as soon as the election is over"
Army officials said unofficially
that they did not believe the bomb
sight had been given Britain. Off
cially, however, they refused COM
ment.

'diction, addressed to the people
Of France, came as First Lord of
the Admiralty A. v. Alexander in
dicated plainly that Britain is
planning and building toward TAX
ing the offensive against Germany
in spheres of battle where he prom
ised victory could pe won.
For many hours before Churchill
and Alexander spoke, RAF bomb
ers had bombed big war industry
centers in northern italy and rail-
road and industrial targets in Ber-
lin until fires were started, the air
ministry sadi.
An official communique said that
the Raj had raided Berlin IA times
since the beginning of September,
dropping a total of more than 20O
tons of bombs A total of 225 planes
participated in the raids.
The great Fascist motor and cleo
trio works and steel plants at Mil
an, Turin and Aosta as well as the
huge railway yards at the Mohbit
station in Berlin and other targets
in 1.-The center of the city were
bombed by the British air fleets
the communique said.
Two attacks. one of three hours
and the other of more than one
hour, ending at 4 am, we're made
on Berlin despite heavy ground
fire.
The British bompng offensive ap-
peared to have been the most in
tensive and widespread Of the war
1t conceded with intensive air at
tack on the Dutch, Belgian and
French coastN bases held by the
Germans. A great red glow like "a
prairie fire" was reported seen over
the French coast opposite Dover,
where British airplanes had bombed
NaZi long-range gun emplacements
during the night.
Meanwhile, fast and hard hitting
German warplanes struck at indus
trial and other detectives in London,
Lancashire, the MidlandS and along
the coasts of England, causing a
number of deaths and some dam
age.
The raiders operated singly or in
small groups in order to take full
advantage of the clouds and to
dodge British defense planes and
intense anti-aircraft fire that drove
them from the London area.

Warm weather was the only fac
tor that slowed up buying. This
affected only the heavier lines
however, and the condition no doubt
accelerated buying in other lines.
A parade Saturday afternoon
sponsored by the 20-3O club added
materially to the Dollar Day activi-
ty. Many merchants and automobile
men entered displays in the process
sion. Growing entry, however was
the 20-30 club queen, Hans Merk-

board in costume. What a costume!

His offer to share the Baltimore
platform with Mr.. Roosevelt was
regarded as a renewal of the chal-
lenge to debate which he first is
sued Aug. II at Elwood, Ind,
when Willkie accepted the Republi-
can presidential nomination. Mr..
Roosevelt replied at that time that
the European crisis would prevent
him making any political speeches
during the campaign. Last week
the president announced he would
make five political addresses dur
ing the closing days of the CAM
paign to correct alleged falsifica-
tions that had arisen.
Willkie said his offer to the pres
