Extensive raids on England.
London, September 14th.
London had four alarms to-day. The
fourth raid was still going on at 6 p.m.
and enemy planes were seen over the
suburbs. People there saw a plane shot
down in the London area. The three
first warnings were fairly brief. The
enemy have also been active over other
districts. Reports from outside London
suggest that they were mostly testing
the defences in the south part of the
country. Bombs were dropped in se
veral places and one single raider went
from town to town throwing incendi-
ary and oil bombs. So far there is news
of two enemy bombers having been
shot down.
The story of last night’s raid is much
the same as on previous nights. Bombs
were dropped indiscriminately over vari-
ous districts, mostly in Southern, West and
East London. There was damage to houses
and industrial premises. Bombs were
dropped on the Law Courts and the Lord
Chancellors Court was extensively damag-
ed. Many bombs were dropped in a resi-
dential area in South London where many
of London’s workers live.
The anti-aircraft barrage again proved
effective thanks to the new predictors. The
new and secret method of prediction is
being steadily improved. The balloon bar-
rage has also been made more effective by
a new method which is kept secret.
The other area which received most at-
tention from the Germans was South Wal-
es. Some damages and casualties are re-
ported.
Attacks on enemy
shipping in Channel
ports.
London, September 14th.
Last night strong forces of the R.A.F.
attacked enemy shipping at Calais, Bou-
logne, Dunkirk and Antwerp. From Eng-
land the whole French coast seemed to
be on fire and the Kentish coast seemed
to shake with the explosions. The R.A.F,
also attacked a convoy off Zeebrugge and
one ship exploded after a direct hit.
German propaganda is busily spreading
rumours of the intended invasion of Bri-
tain, even giving the exact date, which
however varies: one of them was yester-
day. And yet there is an undertone of
different kind in the German propaganda.
This argument is that Britain can be
brought to her knees by air raids and
blockade.
