Germans Fire on
Own Cargo Ships

STOCKHOLM, Aug. up

later found out the ships were part
of a German convoy headed for
Finland. But that was after an
hour long battle between shore and
ships guns. Several ships report

Deadly little American invader

an enemy cruiser and set it afire
with two direct hits with 500-pound
bombs off Southern Italy yesterday,
it was announced today.
The cruiser, probably of the Carl
baldi type of more than 1000 TONS
apparently was trying to work its
way North from the bombing that
has made South italian ports un-
safe for Axis ships. 1t appeared to
be sticking close to shore when the
invaders pounced on it.
British Beaufighters on coastal
patrol added to the toll of shipping
by sinking a schooner off the West
coast opposite Rome and perhaps
sinking two tugs off the Corsican
coast.

British and Canadian, topped the
sixth straight day of pulverizing
daylight raids on railroad bottle
