SHANGHAI, Aug. Is (UP)-The
United States marines gained con-

German Bombers
On Inland Raid
Meet Resistance
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE. Jr.

AT A SOUTHEAST COAST
PORT, England, Aug. Is. CUP)-
Five heavy waves of German bomb
ers roared inland into England
this afternoon while German fighter
planes made an effort to distract
the British aeriai patrol by sortie
against the coast few miles to
the southwest.
The decoy effort was described
as having failed and one patrol of
Hurricane fighters, which had been
circling for long time, watching
for raiders, took on the German
fighters and destroyed at least one.
Gn London it was claimed that
four German Dornier bombers, of
number which attacked a south
east coast town today, were shot
down at sea and that two German
pilots took to their parachutes)
From the sound of the bombers
which roared inland, it was eSti-
mated the fleet totalled $50 planes.
They passed into the interior so
from earth but they ran into op-
position from a second British pa
troll and sounds of diving planes and
machine guns were family audible
inland.
In the dogfight it was believed
that at least four German planes
were shot down. One was clearly
distinguished as a Messerschmitt
One pilot took to his parachute and
two other planes, the make of
which was not known, were de-
stroyed.
Two motorboats put out from
this port to pick up airmen who
had fallen into the sea. Mean
while, planes over this port, despite
their altitude, drew intense anti
aircraft fire which apparently pre-
vented the Germans from attack
ing barrage balloons.
AS the bombers droned on a
lone parachute appeared high up,
white against perfect blue sky
1t drifted rapidly towards the sea
Another motorboat put out to res
cue this aviator, who apparently
alightel far out in the channel.
The first wave of bombers was
heard over the port. Apparently
the sea by British fighters, because
it had been chased back toward
machine cunning again was family
audible.

London SaysDuce
Planning Invasion
ToSubdue Greece

LONDON, Aug. Is (UP)-Premier
Benito MuSsolini of Italy was re-
ported today to be planning an in
vasion of Greece through Albania
to take control of Salonika, one
OF the finest naval bases in the
Near East
According to information reaching
a highly responsible Balkan diplo-
mat from his government, there are
mo signs that Greece will resist
such an Italian advance
The report was that Italy in
tended to use Salonika as well as
a number of Greek islands in the
AEGEAN Sea between Greece and Asia
Minor as bases from which italian
Warships and submarines could ha-
rass the British fleet in the eastern
Mediterranean. If successful, the
move also would cut Turkey off
from Great Britain's key naval bases
at Alexandria, Haifa and Cyprus
The Balkan diplomat thought it
likely that Greece would yield tC
italian pressure ana permit an
Italian corridor in northern Greece
on promise to return the territory
after the war. The diplomat also
doubted that Greece would avail
herself of the British guarantee of
Greek independence or appeal to
Turkey for aid. Although Turkey
was reported to have 10 divisions
in Thrace, there was strong beliei
in competent quarters that Russia
would immobilize the Turks.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-08-15

ATHENS, Aug. Is. CUP)-Ten-
sion between Greece and Italy in
creased today after an unidentified
submarine torpedoed and sank the
Greek mine-laying cruiser Helle in
the harbor of Tinos and sent two
torpedoes crashing into quay
packed with pilgrims celebrating
the festival of the assumption.
Although the attacker of the
Helle, which sank in flames with
one dead and at least % injured,
was not identified, the torpedoing
was regarded as an incident which
might affect the peace of the Bal
karS.
The exact number of children
killed on the quay was not known
Immediately but an official an
nouncement said that one petty Of
ficer aboard the Helle was killed
and a number of ratings were in
jured.
(Other advices intercepted abroad
said that casualties from the tor
pedoing of the Helle totalled 80 or
3D.
The Helle, built in 1912 for China
and originally named the Fei
Hung, was transferred to Greece in
1914 It's normal complement was
232 officers and men.
Exchange telegraph dispatches
from Athens reaching London said
that after the torpedoing the Helle
burst into flames and sank within
an hour. The vessel was abandoned
by survivors of the explosion)
The attack was said to have oc-
Cured at $3.50 a. m. while the Helle
was lying at anchor off Tinor har-
Dor. Tinos is an AEGEAN island.
The vessel was armed with three

Raiding British planes destroyed

erwise did little damage in night
raids on Germany, it was asserted.
The communique said that a
German submarine had sunk the
British auxiliary cruiser Transyl-
vania in the Atlantic, as announced
by the British admiralty yesterday.
Twelve German planes, it was
said, failed to return from yester-
days fighting.
Informants said that there had
beed reports from neutral sources
and from England of the landing OF
parachutists.
ut appears that parachutes have
been found but that police are
unable to ascertain whether men
were landed" an informant said.
(Reports from England were that
parachutes, not parachutists-had
landed)
Despite the lack of official con-
firmation after nearly "a hours,
informantS stuck to their story of
reports that parachutists actually
had been landed in the important
Manchester and Birmingham in
dustrial areas in the English mid
lands.
Neutral experts suggester that the
germans would hardly land a small
number of parachutists if they in
tended to employ them as advance
elements for a big scale invasion
attempt.
For an invasion, these experts
held, parachutists would be landed
in mass, most likely on a coastal
area where they might not be i'm
mediately surrounded, to establish
landing point for troops who
would be sent by small boats.

Churchill Warns
Invasion Danger
Still Threatens

LONDON, Aug. Is. (UP)-Prime
Minister Winston Churchill told
Commons today that danger of in
vasion of Britain still is present
and revealed that British forces in
Somaliland have suffered reverses
Churchill said, however, that Bri-
tain was far stronger today than
she was last May.
He told the House that he had
unsatisfactory news" for the House
concerning the situation in East
Africa where a small force of Bri-
tish troops has been attacked by
the italians.
The small British holding force
which was occupying the Tugarian
position,' he said, northeast OF
Hargesia has been driven back by
a greatly superior italian force
amounting to two divisions sup
ported by armored vehicles and
considerable artillery"
Referring to the so-called "home
security defense executive" which
some members of parliament last
week described as British Ges-
tapo, Churchill declined to give any
information concerning the organi-
eaton except to say that it dealt
with fifth column activities and
related problems.
mo other country when at war
gives information of this kind,
Churchill said, land once the prin-
ciple is admitted that a stream OF
questions can be put and the gov
ernment is bound to answer them
factually very serious injury
would have been done to our safe
ty."
