K. A. F. Attack German Aerodromes.

London, Dec. 7th.
Last nights aerodromes in occupied France and the
Low Countries were successfully raided by large forces of
H*e R.A.F. The raids ranged far and wide and lasted several
hours. More than twenty enemy aerodromes were raided,
hombed and machine-gunned.
Two of the British aircraft did not return. It is sur-
prising that only two bombers were lost as the pilots went
^ low down as 500 feet and raked the fields and hangars

*acks as efficient as possible.

undefended towns and villages
of no military importance
whatever.
British bombers have carried
out an unusually heavy attack
on Vallona the principal har-
bour in Albania. There were
terrible explosions and several
fires were started.
The resignal of Marshal
Badoglio has been followed
by the resignal of another It-
alian general, the military
governor of the Dodocanese
islands. According to Italian
official news, he was relieved
of his post by his own re-
quest. This man was one of
the four leaders of the fam-
ous March on Rome.
It is pointed out in London
and America that the signific-
ance of these resignals is a very
clear indication of internal con-
flict in Italy.
When the Fascists had made
a mess of things in Albania,
Marshal Badoglio was called
upon, but he did not want to
jeopardize his brilliant record
by accepting this commission
just in order to save some poli-
tician’s face. The Italian people
must now realize that the
Greek war was an adventure
entered upon by Signor Musso-
lini and his henchmen.

father was worse* than in

cl°uds so that the pilots had to
sPend several hours in locating
their targets. One British bomb-
er was attacked by three enemy
fighters but succeeded in es-
caping.
Almost every aerodrome
from which the German plan-
es set out for raids on Britain
was searched out and heavily
bombed.
These extensive operations
did not interfere with the usu-
al raids on the invasion ports.
Boulogne, Le Havre and Ostend
were successfully bombed.
