to bolster its firing power by trans

from the Maginot Line. Some of

cross-Channel artillery duels, these
authorities say.
Just when the new German line
may have been started is not known
in London, but it cannot be very
far advanced, these authorities
point out. since the British raidine
parties have been able to make al
least nine daring thrusts into Ger
man-held French soil.
Slipping across on trawlers anc
fishing smacks, the raiders have
dashed into the blacked-out enemy
lines on a several-fold mission.
Sabotage One of Purposes.
One of the most important is te
bolster French morale and worry
the Germans. 1t is held good mill
tary psychology to keep the Nazi
legions thinly strung out over a
thousand-mile front in perpetual
state of apprehension"
Preparation of sabotage and cap
ture of prisoners are the two other
main responsibilities of the brave
young English volunteers.
Many experts expect Britain S
generals to choose France or one
of the Low Countries as the scene
for major assault. Others talk of
the back door" through the Balkans
or Italy if and when Mussolini is
knocked out of the war.
No one can say which is right, for
this naturally is a closely guarded
military secret-if indeed the high
command has decided it yet. In
all probability the final choice will
depend to a great degree on condi-
tions and circumstances at the time
when Britain feels she is strong
enough for the maneuver.

Irish Accuse Reich
Of Fresh Bombings
And Mine.Layings
Air Roid Wordens Appear
In Dublin; Demolition
Squads Standing By
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, Jan. 4.-Neutral Ireland
today laid new charges of bombing
and the dropping of magnetic
mines directly at the door of Ger
many, and a newspaper close to
the government declared lit is
hardly conceivable" that the week S
series of bombings was accidental.
Tonight tin-hatted air raid war
denS appeared in Dublin's streets
and demolition squads were under
standby orders. But Dubliners de-
clined to leave the comfort of their
homes for the safety of cramped
air raid shelters.
An official statement said two
magnetic sea mines dropped
Wednesday at Enniskerry, Wexford
County, below Dublin, were identi-
fled as of German origin; so, Also
were bombs cropped at Oslegate,
County Wexford
Nazis Linked to 5 Incidents.
Wexford is a southeast coastal
county and today's announcement
raised to five the number of Incl
dents in which explosive and in
cendiary bombs have been identified
by the government as German.
The other identified" bombs fell
on the Curragh of Kildare, Julians-
town, Duleek and Boris, all within
a 60-mile area of Dublin. In addi-
ton. a plane dropped a bomb in
a Dublin residential district before
dawn yesterday, causing much dam
age and injuring more than a dozen
persons.
Three persons we're killed in the
bombing at Boris Wednesday
night and. in all, more than 20 have
been injured in the various local
tiles hit.
Awaiting a German reply to its
note of yesterday, demanding ces-
sation of the attacks and indemnity
for casualties and damaged prop
erty, the De Valera government linn
tied its remarks on the diplomatic
repercussions of the bombings to
denial Of rumors that it intends to
expel the German Minister
"a German spokesman has
charged that the bombs were
English or imaginary" and au-
thorized Berlin sources Saturday
predicted "a clear and unmis-
taxable answer" to the Irish pro-
teSt)
Ireland's press and people were
more voluble than the officials.
Lights Visible Overhead.
The Irish Press, considered a gov
ernment organ, suggested that if
Germany really had the will" to
stop the bombings, it ought not to
be hard
1t pointed out that the lights of
Dublin and other cities, although
cowled. still are visible from directly
overhead ito indicate our neutral
itv." 1t said: These grave happen
ings seem to the layman to be in
explicable."
The Irish Times said "the posi-
bility Of a genuine mistake is re-
mote" and demanded serious con-
sideration of a real blackout and
other air raid precautions.
The Irish Independent demanded
that the Irish Dali Qegislature) be
summoned in permanent session
until the position has been clari-
fed"
There was an obvious change in
the attitude of the people. Irishmen
who were formerly inclined to blame
early bombings on navigational er-
rors by belligerent planes or even
on English planes carrying German
bombs" now were talking about the
possibility that Germany wants Ire
land in the war as Britain's ally
perhaps because of the help which
Britain then would have to extend
to this poorly defended state.
