that the men whose skills qualify
them for necessary jobs in the war;

for those jobs on voluntary basis.
The first step, however, will be to

too apparent 70 be successfully
denied
At dawn yesterday the r. A. r.
fighter bomber formations were back
again on the job over northern
France, and heavy explosions could
be heard from the district around
Calais.
American built Douglas bombers,
escorted by SpitfireS, attacked tar
gets at Dunkeroue and Cherbourg:
fighters swept these and other areas.
In announced reprtsal for the Bal
tic attacks. the Nazis sent small
groups of dive bombers across the
southwest English coast yesterday.
In one city-the Germans said 1t
was Exeter-the death toll was H.
and hundreds were made homeless
But the reprisal attacks were con-
Quoted by no more than IS planes.
British authorities said, and the
most 10 assault any one English
area was II.
The government did not disclose
how many bombers were used
against Rostock. but Il certainly
was many times the figure given
| for the German raiders.
| Following the assault on Baltic
Lubbock March 2s. the two attacks
on Rostock clearly demonstrated
the r. A. F's new tactics-the
opening of a full-f1edged Baltic air
front In which Nazi guard
bases, one at a time. are to be
methodically devastated in assist
ance to the armies OF Russia.
BY careful reconnaissance and
photography the r. A. r. has learned
that railroads suffered heavily in
the Lubbock attack, making it nee
essary to route raw materials to
Rostock and the remaining rail-
heads to the north.
Now Rostock, which Is smaller
than Lubbock, has received almost
twice as many bombs as were
| dropped on the latter. and British
authorities are confident it will be
weeks before RoStock'S railroad and
port facilities will be very useful
to the Reich.
AS result the Germans will have
to reroute the traffic north and east
again toward Ruegen and Stettinr
already heavily burdened.
| II was believed the raids also may
have had a second objective-to
hamper reinforcement of the Ger
man Norwegian garrisons In the
event of an Allied offensive in that

dropped harmlessly.
Striking in perfect bombing
weather, the r. A. F. for the second
consecutive night showered bombs
Friday night on Rostock, ripping the
Heinkel aircraft works again and
leaving great fires leaping from the
Neptune shipyards and other port
installations In the Warnow Estuary.
Preliminary reports on the second
attack on Rostock "are as promising
as the first" in which the r. A. r.
dropped the biggest bomb load in its
history, the air ministry said. One
airman said the smoke from. the
fires In the Heinkel works,. ware
houses and other targets was so
dense that the Nazi searchlfghts
could not penetrate 1t.
More than 80 Canadian flyers
participated in the two Rostock at
tacks, all returning safely. They
said there were lots of fires burning
in the town ITSELF when they ar.
rived for the second foray.
Propaganda ANALYSTS believed the
best evidence of the effect of the
raids came from the Nazis them
selves. The German radio, which
for days has been broadcasting
melodramatic accounts of the des-
truction of cultural landmarks" in
last months r. A. r. raid on Lue-
beck said last night of Rostock,
quoting from the Berlin newspaper
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung:
The British have thus continued
their spiteful attacks on
churches, hospitals and theaters.
The r. A. F. is effectively endeavor-
ing to coordinate completely with
the methods Of Bolshevist warfare"
The broadcast also quoted the
D. A. z. as warning Germans that
British agitators will probably
again assert that British airmen at
tackled military plants" The paper
added, the intention, however, to
terrorize the German population Is
