Germany Observing Damage
The main object of today’s flights, according to D. N. B., the official German news agency, was to observe damage done to wharves, airdromes and defense centers in vesterday’s widespr2ad raids which, the Germans claimed, resulted in the destruction of 147 British fighters. Fresh formations of Heinkel-111 and Dornier-17 bombers were ordered to “pay special attention” to harbors, Royal 'Air Force bases and anti-aircraft defenses, D. N. B. said, while fighters winged overhead to protect them. In attacks on channel shipping, the agency added, a

Isolationists Say of Plea To Aid England.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (U. P) — Isolationist Senators attacked U. S. Ambassador to France William C. Bullitt today. One accused him of making statements ‘very, very little short of treason” in his speech | at Philadelphia last night urging aid to Britain. Senators DD.

Rep. John ©. Schafer (R. Wis), suggested in the House that “multimillionaire New Deal war monger” Mr. Bullitt be “locked up.” He said that since the New Deal “gestapo” is on the look for fifth columnists, it might well “get hold of Bullitt
‘and lock him up.”
Mr. Wheeler said that according to information he believed reliable, “no man has done more to try to get the United States into war than Bill Bullitt, and there has been noj man whose judgment has been more wrong.”

U. S. Vessel Dares Mines After Notice to Germay)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (U. P). ~The United States’ relations with Germany today rode precariously through the mine-strewn, bomberpatrolled North Atlantic along with 897 American war refugees aboard the U. S. Army transport American Legion, The American Government has formally notified the German Government that Berlin will be held strictly accountable for any harm that may befall the American Legion as a result of action by the “German armed forces,” the State Department revealed. A tersely-stiff note on the subject delivered to the German Foreign Office by the American charge d'af« faires, Alexander W, Kirk, said: “The Government of the United States expects that the vessel will not suffer molestation by any action undertaken by the German armed forces.” The note recapitulated a controversy, approaching the proportions of a heated quarrel, between the two Governments over the route and the security of the vessel, It left no room for doubt that any attack upon or damage to the ship by German armed forces would have serious consequences upon the relations between the two Govern= ments, The U. 8S. note followed a German warning Saturday that the Nazi Government would not be “re= sponsible” for the safety of the transport if it followed the course earlier outlined.
The German message said that the route touched the area of Gers man military operations against Great Britain and advised that the Vessel take a ‘less dangerous” course. The State Department's note disclosed that the German air force had objected that the vessel's course would bring it into the field of “dangerous air operations.”
The American Legion sailed from Petsamo, Finland, on Aug. 16, bound for New York. Included among the passengers was Mrs. J. Borden Har riman, American Minister to Nor way. The American note pointed out that it had officially taken up with the German Foreign Minister, as early as Aug. 9, the proposed route that the American Legion would follow. Together with a statement that the ship was scheduled to sail from Petsamo on the 16th.
U. S. ‘Irresponsible’
German Press Says
BERLIN, Aug. 10 (U. P).—The German press said today that the United States Government is “ire responsible” in permitting the 8. American Legion, carrying Amer icans from Pettsamo to New York, to sail a course which would bring it within waters blockaded by Germany. The German Government had disclaimed any responsibility for anything that happens to the ship.
