BERLIN. April % (UP)-Ger-
many's spring offensive against
Britain was reported today to be
moving with increasing momentum
and the Nazi press bluntly warned
that United States naval protec-
ton for British conveys would have
but one effect: the rapid sinking
of American ships"
That comment was made by the
Well-informed DeutSche Allgemeine
Zeitung as the German high COM
mand reported that its drive to
deprive the British Of a foothold
on the European continent was al
most complete.
The high command claimed that:
German troops have reached
TripoliS, center of the Peloponnesus.
about so miles south Of Corinth ano
that l8.600 more tons of allied
shipping has been sunk in Greek
waters.
Axis forces have penetrated
deeply into Egypt, south of Sol
lum. inflicting heavy losses upon
British defenders.
Heavy air bombardments were car
ried out on Plymouth and other
objectives in Britain and OF the
British base in the Mediterranean
at Malta.
The official news agency DNB
said that a heavy bombardment OF
important British objectives had
been launched by the big guns en-
placed along the French coast op-
poSite Dover.

Nazis. British in
Big Gun Duel Over
Straits of Dover

DOVER. April %. lUP)-German
big guns on the French coast bomb
arded Britain for five hours todav
and more than 100 Nazi Messer-
schmitts battled Royal air force
fighters in dogfights over the Eng
lish Channel.
II was the biggest days action
on the southeast coast since the
invasion scare of late summer and
early last autumn.
The German guns opened up
against the Dover area about 8 am
The bombardment went on with
only occasional pauses until about
pm.
During the bombardment, the Nazi
sent over a series OF small forma-
tions of MessefSchmitt fighters
which attempted to penetrate the
British coastal defenses. Spitfire
and Hurricane squadrons fought
them off and prevented all but a
few German planes from reaching
the coast.
About 10 am. the British coastal
batteries replied 10 the German
long range guns.
For the first time the Germans
employed shells which exploded in
many instances before hitting the
ground. Apparently they had hoped
to cause casualties by shell splinterS
but police reported only two minor
casualties.
The British bombardment was be-
lieved by coastal watchers to have
started at least two big fires on
the French coast and also appar-
emily set fires aboard two ships.
At the height of the British
bombardment large columns Of
black smoke arose 200 or 800 feet
into the air between Calais and
Boulogne, indicating that oil tanks
had been hit.
A little later a cloud of steam was
seen shooting skywards in Boulogne
Harbor, possibly indicating that
another ship had been struck. Two
more columns of smoke were seen
close to Calais. One appeared to
be fire on the coast and the other
a burning ship.
The German attack started with
single shells coming from the Nazi
batteries at Cap Girls Nez. The
shells fell at intervals of 8 to 10
minutes.
Around II am. the bombardment
was intensified and salvoes from
two, three, four and six guns came
over. Shells rained down in the
Dover area at a rate Of almost one
a minute. Pedestrians scurried for
cover. However motor traffic. in
Guiding buses continued.
Shortly after noon the lombard
ment tapered off.

during recent years, has been men,
toned again recently by some Jap
anese as part of a move to offset
Japan's membership in the Berlin

conclusion OF non-aggression pact
with the United States has been
favored by some japanese. They
say it must be assumed the Berlin
Rome-Iokyo alliance was an in
strument of peace and accordingly

directions. such as toward the
United States, would be logical

The Russo-Japanese treaty, re-
