DEFIANT BRITAIN RESISTS AIR FURY
(Continued from Page One)
ropean coast and to thrust into Germany in attacks on other
targets. As the Nazis renewed their aerial blitzkrieg, Britain's Air Minister Sir Archibald Sinclair declared that Germany had lost 1867 planes since it started Aug. 8, as compared with 621 by the British. Sir Archibald placed the German loss in air crews at nearly 4000, that of the British at less than 600. Travelers reaching Britain from Norway today reported that the Germans occupying that country had suddenly and surprisingly begun returning confiscated ships—usable in an invasion of Britain—to their Norwegian owners. Gen. Sir Alan Brooke, commander-in-chief of the British home forces, issued an open challenge to Hitler to dare the powerful defenses built up in Britain. British Confidence Still High “I would actually welcome an invasion,” Brooke said. “I would welcome an opportuntiy to throw them back into the sea.” The statement appeared designed to increase British confidence, but also to emphasize the British view that Hitler
will have suffered a big defeat if he fails to attempt the
long-threatened invasion. Furthermore, in line with Prime Minister Winston Churchill's declaration that British strength is increasing
steadily, military informants said that British mechanized!
forces were being but up to a high degree for use against
an invader or, eventually, for use in striking back at the|
German war mackine. British airplanes, they said, have caused great damage to the German “invasion” forces by mining Nazi-held harbors from Norway to France but—despite the Nor wegian reports of boats returned to their owners—official sources here took the view that the invasion still must be expected at any time. Italians Push on in Egypt There was a sudden burst of military activity in Egypt along with the diplomatic activity in Europe. In the offensive against Alexandria and the Suez Canal, Italian armies advancing from Libya into Egypt had progressed more than 75 miles to the Sidi Barrani sector despite “tenacious” British resistance. At Sidi Barrani the paved road leading along the Mediterranean coast to Alexandria begins and it may famlitate the Italian offensive. British airplanes, however, were attacking strongly behind the Italian bnes, having sunk a Fascist destroyer and a barge at the big naval base of Benghasi and damaged another ship. The sma:ler Italian port of Derni also was bombed, and in Ethiopia pounded at Fascist bases up other phases of the African offensive. In return, the Italians said they bombed the British bases at Malta, starting new fires, and at Aden, on the Red Sea. One British steamer of 5800 tons was reported sunk by an Italian submarine in the Atlantic. Italy has made every effort despite invasion of Egypt
to persuade the Egyptian Government to remain neutral,
claiming that the Italian offensive is against British forces and not Egyptians.

W!eh a defending force retreats to lure the enemy on, it is usually a sign of weakness. But, in the present instance, every consideration of strategy dictates this policy for the British. Length of communications and difficulties of transport in desert warfare are basic strategical problems. The British tions, based

ever, should not be under-estimated, because of this handicap. Graziani is an able commander, both cautious and imbued with the offensive spirit. He has had long experience in desert warfare, and in men and airplanes he should outnumber British. Nevertheless, the longer his supply trail, the more possibility exists of its disruption by air and naval bombardment. At the same time, should the campaign lengthen through the autumn and checks be administered, there is danger of a rear attack from Algeria if a French Colonial uprising occurs.

ONDON, Sept. 18 (U. P.).—A United Press correspondent who rode / three miles into central London on his way to work today reported | that his route showed the effects of last night's bombing. Unexploded bombs lay in streets, one side-street after another disclosed a vista of wrecked homes, there were mounds of masonry in some streets and an occasional fire still smouldered. Passengers on the bus, morale high, merely stared out curiously as an air raid alarm siren sounded and two German bombers droned
overhead. It was understood that in a recent raid a bomb had fallen on the lawn of ancient Westminster Abbey, digging a small crater without damaging the building. The market place in Lambeth Walk, which inspired the famous song hit and dance, lay in ruins. Shops and houses in the vicinity had been wrecked by high explosive bombs during the night.
