There was a short pause after the first attack; then another wave o bombers which immediately was engaged by British fighting planes. Terrific concussions of bombs shook houses along the seafront for miles and shattered windows everywhere Break for Channel Area

Spouts of water shot high into the air, spraying ships which bobbed like corks off the shore But the anti-aircraft barrage was go intense that the last wave of bombers broke off their dives and filed out of range. R. A. F. fighting planes streaked after them, fighting over the English Channel. Several persons were reported killed vesterday in a northeast town where high explosive and incendiary bombs were dropped. Wales was subjected to the longest air raid of the war. For three hours German planes sporadically dropped bombs in Welsh territory. Most bombs fell in open country. Whistling bombs and delaved action bombs were dropped on a southwest England town. The Air Ministry asserted that Germany was now using Messerschmidt 109 fighter planes as bombers. in order to conserve homber planes and crews, and in hope of making their raids on “safer.”

Use Fighters as Bombers

Messerschmidt planes were said to have been equipped to carry a single high explosive bomb They fly in high, dive out of the clouds, drop their bombs and try to make for home before British fighters can catch them,” a communique said “But these tactics are not proving too successful. During the last few days Spitfires and Hurricanes have shot down at least 31 Messerschmidt-109s.” Five Messerschmidts were lost in a single fight yesterday and others were damaged. Spitfires attacked

Messerschmidts which flew at near-|

ly six miles (31,680 feet) over the southeast coast. Two Messerschmidts fell into the sea and a third exploded in mid air, it was asserted. A second squadron of Spitfires attacked and brought down two German planes, it

In addition to the aerial attacks, the Germans continued to claim that their U-boats and airplanes were inflicting tremendous shipping losses on Britain. In the last three davs, the German revorts claim that more than 200.000 tons of British shipping was sent to the bottom, plthough some of these reports were from submarines which meant that the losses might have been inflicted over a number of days As a result, it was impossible to

Of Good Deeds— SOMEWHERE IN Indianapolis there is a dog and =a whose sense of appreciation somewhat low. Robert Stone, custodian of an apartment at 3720 N. Meridian St., was kind to the squirrel and fed it each time it came in the rear yard at the building. Yesterday, the squirrel returned and bit Mr. Stone's son, Dale, on the left leg twice. The youth was treated by Dr. Norman Booher, deputy coroner. Mrs. Dorothy Laffin, of 401 N. Illinois St., felt sorry for a dog yesterday when everyone was seeking relief from the intense heat. She filled a pan with cool water to give the dog a dmink and the animal bit her on the left arm. She went to the City Hospital for treatment.

London Protests Arrests of 12 Business Men: Navy Captain Held.

LONDON, July 290 (U. P).--Sir Robert Craigie, British Ambassador to Japan, has made strong representations against the arrest of 12 British businessmen in Japan, it was learned today. The arrests were expected to cause renewed tension in British- | Japanese relations despite the re- | cent. British agreement to close the | Burma route of supply to China.

The Senate Military Affairs Coma mittee, which has been considering and revising the Burke-Wadsworth Bill for more than a week, is ex= pected to approve it tomorrow, There will be a few dissenting votes, probably those of Senators Edwin C. Johnson (D., Colo.), and Ernest Lundeen, Farmer-Laborite (Minn.).

Stimson Testifies Tomorrow

Mr. Lundeen denounced the bill as ‘war-time conscription slavery” last night in a radio debate with Rep. James W. Wadsworth (R., N. Y.), co-author of the bill with Senator Edward R. Burke (D. Neb.). Mr. Wadsworth contended that compulsory training of all men between 18 and 64 was “the only certain ay” of preparing the nation against the threat of invasion The House Military Affairs Com=mittee, still holding hearings on the bill, will hear Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson tomorrow. Chairman Morris Sheppard of the Senate Military Affairs Committee hoped the Senate debate would begin Wednesday. Leaders thought the bill was ‘packed with political dynamite.” One Republican said it would be foolhardy to rush the bill through Congress before public reaction to it has been thoroughly explored.
