20 Fires Started by Bombs Compete With Brilliant Moon
LONDON, Oct. 15 (U. P.).—London's rush hour this morning was a
dash for shelters.
An alarm soon after daylight sent workers running through piles ot wreckage left after a terrible night of bombardment by German planes. Buildings shook from the concussion of bomb blasts and some time bombs, dropped during the night, exploded.
A big bomb struck a recently damaged hospital. Bombs crashed in other London areas. Three German planes, from clouds, machine streets. Many workers had not even time to go to shelters before bombs started, and threw themselves prone in the streets. Great bomb craters were in some streets; debris was piled high in others; many homes were shells which fire had gutted. Some streets
diving gunned
were biocked by craters and debris.

Some buildings had collapsed utterly. For hours last night there was hardly a moment when the drone of planes could not be heard overhead, and the bombs rained down. A crowded movie. house, a great department store which is a land- | mark, a well-known church, a restaurant, a club, a theater well known to American tourists and a hotel. suffered direct hits. Incendiary bombs showered down on a big hospital and crashed into a ward filled with victims of previous raids. Surgeons, nurses and orderlies fought fires which the bombs started with buckets of sand, and worked so effectively that not only were the patients able to remain in the hospital but many of them never knew that bombs had endangered them.

and Parents Are Guests At Block Luncheon.
Frances June Wilbur, Veedersburg 4-H Club member who entered a champion steer in the State Fair the second straight time this year was a luncheon guest of the Wm. H. -Block Co. yesterday. Miss Wilbur, who is 17, and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Everett Wilbur, were entertained in the Terrace Tea Room. They were served steaks, processed from her champion for Block's.
Guests included H. J. Reed, .dean of the school of agriculture at Purdue University, and a member of his staff. The Block firm was represented by a number of officials including S. B. Walker, controller, and Charles W. Jones, general superintendent.

must necessarily be limited in nz | scope. He cannot agree that Japan : | will not molest Russia if Stalin goes i | to war against the Axis. If the Russians were to consent in good faith [to a non-aggression understanding with Japan, it could only mean that Stalin has definitely decided to re-
main at peace with the Germans for the duration of the present war, regardless of future developments. Such a pledge, however, would be wholly disadvantageous to the Russians, who cannot know in advance whether conditions of belligerency in Europe will not change to give the Slavs an opportunity to strike with probability of success. Especially, it is impossible fer anyone to foretell with accuracy what may be the future policy of the United States. :| Gen. Tatekawa, however, should be able to determine with some de:1gree of accuracy the time element in estimating when, if ever, Russian resentments concerning southeastern Europe and the triple alliance may come to a head. He may be .|able fo placate Russia temporarily by offering an advantageous settlement of some of the Russo-Japanese problems in the Orient.
Today's War Moves
. (Continued from Page One)
Too, Gen. Tatekawa’s military position must keep ever present in Stalin’s mind the threat of Japanese hostilities if Russia becomes involved with Germany. This fact,
|
without doubt, is being counted on -
by Hitler to hold Russia back, at least for the time being. But there is no certainty con-~ cerning Stalin’s immediate policy. He has been trapped for the moment by the triple alliance and by events in Rumania, and his basic resolve must be to break the trap. Whether he will decide to smooth matters with Japan for the present or will try to keep Japan and Ger-~ many guessing about his intentions is as yet problematical.
If Stalin could negotiate an agreement for the removal of a considerable part of Japan's threatening Russia in the Orient, that would be a success for him, but it seems improbable that Japan would weaken her own position in that way. /Any action, however, by Gen. Tatekawa causing hesitancies and delays at Moscow, through keeping Japan's own intentions veiled, will give Germany more time to strengthen its position in Rumania, which is what Higler wants.
jected to so long a delay in procuring such a readily available - item as housing, is inexcusable. “It cannot possibly have been intentional. There must always be some delay in procuring a range finder, or an electric firing mechanism. There*should be no delay in procuring a board and a hammer and some nails.

A home for the aged adjoining the hospital was set afire. Inmates were evacuated while firemen put out the fire. - i: Army engineers, labor battalions and unemployed men recruited to aid them had worked throughout the night, whenever bombs were nou actually dropping: near them, to clear the streets of wreckage, but the rush hour found traffic still dislocated. The night was a brilliant one. Against the background of the starry, moonlit sky cotton-boll puffs of smoke could be seen from the London guns, and searchlight beams felt for raiding planes. Tracer bullets streaked flaming miles into the air. At one time about 20 fires could be seen from the United Press watch tower, but firemen put them out. A quick-witted policeman prevented any tendency toward a rush when a bomb hit a crowded movie. As the patrons felt the building rock, he shouted to them to keep their seats. They continued watching the picture for two minutes. Then policemen, ushered them quietly out of a ste door while the flames which the bomb started were put out. Army officers, donning steel helmets, collected soldiers they found nearby and despite danger from escaping gas and constantly crashing bombs dug a church sexton and his wife from the ruins of a rectory. Incendiary bombs smashed through the glass dome of a hotel lounge in which patrons were drinking and listening to an orchestra. A head porter grabbed a thickly upholstered chair and started to beat out the flames. Others of the hotel staff joined him and the fire was put out in seven minutes, while the patrons watched and the orchestra played on.
