LONDON, Sept. R.-The
British government issued the
tolloDing communique today:
Last night enemy attacks on
London were renewed soon after
darkness fell and continued during
the night. In this offensive the en-
envy employed successive relays of
aircraft which, operating independ-
emily. dropped bombs over q wide
spread area of London. At no time
during the night was an intensive
attack delivered by a large force,
Our anti-aircraft defenses have
been In continuous action against
the enemy. The more deliberate
of the enemy's attacks were again
made in the Thames Side district.
Here q number OF fires were caused.
Elsewhere in several parts of
London enemy bombing attacks re-
suited in many fires, temporary in
terruption of public services and
considerable damage to private
houses and to some public and mer-
camille buildings.
"A further statement will be made
In due course"
"A large force of r. A. F. bombers
made q concentrated attack on
Hamburg for more than three hours
list night, dropping salvos after
salvos Of heavy bombs and hundreds
of incendiaries. Details Of the at
tack will follow shortly"
Reports of damage caused in at
tacks on London last night are not
yet complete, but some particulars
can now be given.
The attacks were severe and con-
tinued throughout the hours Of dark
ness. Bombing was widespread over
the London area and was, for the
most part. indiscriminate. Damage
was heavy and comprised many tar
gets of on-military character, in
GLIDING three hospitals and two
museums.
The number of casualties cannot
at present be assessed, though so
far as information Is available, 1t Is
not anticipated that the number will
exceed those of Saturday.
The figures given for the attacks
on that day are now found to be
rather lower than was announced.
According to present information,
3O6 persons were killed and 1887
seriously injured.
Docks on both sides Of the river
were again subjected to heavy and
repeated bombardment with high
explosive and incendiary bombs and
a number Of fires broke out. Many
of these fires have been extinguished
and all the remainder are now well
in hand.
London has once more been the
main objective Of the enemy, and
its citizens have met the blind
savagery of these latest attacks with
admirable courage and resource"

During the nocturnal raids, at

Montana, q leader OF the opposition,
saw little opposition to expanding
the draft limits, but predicted a fight
against eliminating the House pro-
vision for a 60-day delay.
Chairman May and four other
House spokesman were ready to open
conferences with Senate delega-
ton expected to be appointed during
the day.
Appointment of the Senate con-
ferees was temporarily delayed
when the Senate convened at noon
by a point of order raised by Sena-
tor Clark, Democrat, of Missouri.
He said members probably would
want to discuss instructions to con-
ference committeeman on House
amendments, and suggested the
Senate proceed with its scheduled
debate on the Wheeler-Lea trans
portation bill.
Senator Burke said that the pro-
posed 60-day delay to try volun-
tary enlistments, inserted by the
House Saturday by the close vote
of 2O7 to 200, was an "unwise pro-
vision"
TT is uncalled for because every
body knows we can't get the men
needed by the voluntary method"
Senator Burke said. The most we
could get in q month would be S.
900 and 1t would take year to
get the 400, 900 men the Army wants
before January l."
Senator Connally, Democrat of
Texas, who helped defeat similar
proposal in the Senate, said the
men drafted after voluntary enlist
ments failed to supply quotas might
be branded as slackers.'
Because of the two separate House
votes unfolding the 6o-day delay
provision, however, Senators said
that the Conference Committee
might be forced to take this issue
back for a separate vote.
Senator Russell, Democrat, OF
Georgia, co-author OF the Senate
amendment dealing with non-co-
operative defense industries, said he
favored the substitute House pro-
posal because it was more drastic"
Senator Russell pointed out that
under the House bill manufacturers
Of essential defense materials would
face penalties OF three years in
prison and $4,000 In fines If they
failed to give priority to the Govern.

CHILDHOOD DAYS IN THE
COUNTRY SCHOOL
(By Silas Thorla)

1t was our privilege, although we
didn't deem it as such, to attend
the country, or perhaps more prop
erly, the district school. Many a
youth at the time of which we write
didn't go, in the sense of an innate
impelling desire or urge, but were
sent, and at that immature and ten
der age, having no conception OF
the value of an education, it seemed
that they were denied their rightful
liberty, and being compelled to go
to school was nothing less than a
severe form of punishment.
The writer's induction in the sold
district knowledge box was not In
the little red school house" nor
was it in a 24-28 frame, painted
white, but a good hewed log that
stood on the lowland, with the wa
ters of Meigs Creek washing its
base whenever there was flood. 1t
was rather a large structure, in
tended to be used as a meeting
house, particularly for the Baptist
and with the creek and mill-dam
almost at its door, the rite OF bap-
tism was often administered. But,
oh dear! Those seats, made of heavy
poplar slabs from nearby water
mill, with clumsy wooden pins for
legs, and having to sit on the soft
side with no back, what do you
think? Was 1t any wonder that chill
dren, and older ones, too. would be-
come restless? Mother took us to
school the first day. The next day
she started us alone, but having
gone but short distance we back

Who Wants To Be Big?
Sunday afternoon as we were seat
ed where we could see most of the
Meigs cemetery, we thought of those
who had been prominent-ha done
things and SO on; we thought of the
20 soldiers who sleep here-then of
those who had been prominent in
the church (elders). We wonder
how many of the present member
ship, can name the elders buried
here. What we started out to say:
With the exception of one, there is
nothing to indicate that they were
prominent folks. Besse Patterson is
hunting the record of the churches
as written by these folks, but much
of it has been preserved in heaven
but Besse don't want to make the
trip on one way ticket.
