DNB reported that the Raj APP
parently was following through
with a daylight raid.
"A strong formation of British
bombers today flew over the
frontier Of western Germany, -
the agency said. The raiders,
DNB said, were engaged upon
crossing the frontier by strong
German fighters and violent
air duels followed 1t declared
that the enemy suffered con-
siderable losses and that this
attempted daylight raid can be
regarded as frustrated"
Further indications that the
British and possibly the United
States Air Force were making
one of the biggest daylight air
offensives of the war came soon
after noon today when Allied
bombers and fighters were heard
roaring across the Strait of Dow
er. They appeared TO be heading
in the direction of Abbeville.
Today's German communique
referring briefly 10 the raid on
Hamburg last night claimed that
% British planes were shot down

tacks" on the urban area of the
port city,
Meanwhile there was slight
enemy activity over Goa |
areas of northeast England early
last night.
Bombs were dropped at scat
tered points but it was stated
authoritatively they caused only
slight damage. No casualties
were reported.
A German radio report on last
nights Raj attack said it was
directed at "a north German
coastal area"
The Germans claimed that IL
bombers were shot down by
concentrated German defense.

mourning is over.
Moscow announces today the
capture of several highly impor-
tant towns, but perhaps the most
significant is kushchevka, 43
miles south of Rostov. It's fall
means that the German forces
remaining in the Caucasus,
numbering perhaps quarter
million men have lost control
of the last railway by which they
might have escaped overland
through Rostov,
Hence the German army's
first Dunkerque of the war is
taking form. If the Caucasus
forces are to avoid the fate of
Marshal Paulus and his sixth
army they must get away across
the Kerch Strait to the Crimea
or embark at Novorossisk for a
longer sea voyage in the Black
Sea.
The pattern of retribution
stands out in the present plight
of the Germans in Russia. 1t was
the sixth army, now "succumb-
ed to the superior strength of the
enemy" which compelled allied
armies to succumb in the 1910
sweep across the lowlands.
Doubtless many of the soldiers
now swarming toward the shores
of the western Caucasus were
among the divisions which
smashed at the British as they
huddled on the beach at Dun
kerque. Now il is their turn TO
know the horror of those long
waits under constant terror and
destruction from the skies both
ashore and aboard ship such as
the British experienced along
the coasts of France, Greece and
Crete.

BARLEY B. Goldnitz, 22-year-

three subs which sank an even
dozen Jap ships including cap

Said Goldnitz as he told of
his experiences, at the submarine

cracking and splitting but the
sound that came to us in the
