Whatever This Is, Maybe It’s Hitler's Famous ‘Secret Weapon.’ LONDON, Aug. 21

Alfred Bil- |

|thorities today investigated reports ‘that a “multiple bomb” said to have been dropped on a town along [the Southeast Coast may be the “secret weapon” which the Germans have long threatened to use against Great Britain. An air raid protection describing the bomb said: “A red glow appeared underneath the German plane. Almost immediately there was a loud report. There was an interval of a few minutes before I saw a series of flashes. Immediately afterward I heard seven crashes and the last report was practically as loud as the first.’ The officer's account coincided with the “breadbaskets” dropped by Russian planes during the RussoFinnish war. Investigation then revealed the “breadbasket” to be a missile approximately seven feet long and two and a half feet wide |and containing as many as 50 in- | cendiary bombs. A special mechanism exploded the “preadbasket” at certain altitudes, [showering the incendiary bombs a wide area and causing in- | numerable fires. | British war veterans, however, on ‘secret last night expressed the | opinion the Germans are using the “spring bomb” employed on the | Western Front during the World War. The “spring bomb” exploded on contact with the ground, throwing shrapnel over a wide area but left no crater. The bomb's splinters flew in a circular fashion several inches above the ground and didn't “arc’ as do ordinary bombs.
