Vichy Has Alerts.
Alerts also were set off in Vichy,
which thus had it's first daylight
alarm since the 1910 armistice,
around 5 pm and in Bern, Switzer-
land, at 7:05 pm.
The chain of alerts sounding across
Southern Europe on Thursday and
Friday nights blazed the trail the
Raj was flying to attack Musso-
lini's northern ports and war pro-
duction in unprecedented force.
But the Raj never before had
started as early on foray against
Northern Italy as the Vichy, Mont
lucon and Bern alerts indicated.
Three bombers were lost Friday
night on the mass flight in nasty
weather. Genoa still was shoulder
ing from the destruction of the night
before and was hidden by a heavy
cloud.
The successive attacks in forces of
more than 100 bombers obviously
were timed to prevent the Axis from
rushing materiel and men to the
desert across the Mediterranean.
The extent of devastation at
Genoa was indicated by the Rome
radio announcement that not only
the King and Queen, but a vice
secretary had hurried there to as
sLst authorities restoring order and
morale, and Mussolini was reported
to have donated 10000 lire to aid
the bombed-out residents.
Italians Admit Damare,
The most complete account of the
Thursday and Friday raids was
broadcast yesterday in the Italian
communique which said:
Enemy planes last night flew over
some areas of Piedmont, Liguria and
Lombardy, dropping explosive and
incendiary bombs over Turin, Genoa
and Savona. No serious damage was
caused at the first two towns. Dam
age was more notable in the third
one.
Casualties so far ascertained
among the civilian population are
one dead and ten injured in Turin
and 13 dead and 46 injured between
Savona and Vado Ligure.
In raids of the preceding night
over Genoa, casualties were % dead
and 121 injured. Last nights raid
over Genoa did not cause any casu-
alties, but a large number was re-
ported in consequence of excessive
crowding in shelter"

in December, 1910.
The path of the huge bombers
across Europe was traced during
the afternoon by a series of alerts
in unoccupied France and Switzer-
land.
The Vichy News Agency, in its
charge last night, broadcast the
claim that one of so four -motored
British bombers sighted over the
unoccupied zone in daylight yes

Thus the battle to hold the Solo

phase. Admiral Halsey is taking
comand of the fighting at that

Admiral Halsey is the fourth to

In the early days of the japanese
expansion into that area, Vice Ad-

East Netherlands Navy was in
charge of all United Nations sea
forces. Admiral Helfrich has been
