LONDON, March 8 (U.

P.) British bombers sowed

mines in enemy waters last night while London’s fierce anti4° aircraft barrage thwarted a weak German attempt at retaliation for the devastation wrought by allied planes in their shattering 10-day offensive against axis Europe.

It was the second straight night the royal air force’s|

big four-engined bombers had rested from their bombard-| Pe “ment of Germany, presumably because of bad ‘weather over

the continent. In the 10 days and nights ehded Saturday, the most, - sustained aerial offensive in

can planes dumped 10,000 tons of demolition and fire bombs on Germany and occu-

pied Western Europe. ‘Two ‘bombers were lost in last night’s mining operations. A Swedish broadcast indicated that some ‘of the planes planted their cargoes in the Baltic.

. 4-Engine Nazi Plane Downed

Only one German plane pene- ~ trated London's anti-aircraft barrage last night and it scooted across

ping a single bomb. Bombs were dropped, however, at widely separated points in southeastern England and the home counties. Three: German planes were shot down, including a Heinkel 177 with four ‘engines, mounted in tandem, driving its two propellers, The German radio boasted that “strong German formations” attacked a south England harbor town, but made no mention of the abortive London attack.

Yanks Culminate Offerisive The virtually non-stop 10-day allied air offensive ended Saturday with .attacks by American flying fortresses and Liberators on Lorient, site of Germany’s biggest submarine base on the French Atlantic coast,

French coast. It was estimated that British and American planes dropped on Europe uring their 10-day and night offensive a greater weight of bombs than the 7500 tons German planes dumped on the greater London area

ginning in September, 1940. Some 2500 allied heavy bombers and 2000 lighter planes were used in the allied offensive, it was said. Seventy-five bombers, 15 of them American, and nine fighters were lost. The Germans were believed

MAN FROM HERE SPOTTED FLEET

Leiut. Sellmer. Gave Alarm Which Brought Death

To Jap Convoy.

An Indianapolis man was first to spot the Jap convoy in the Bismarck sea and the resulting alarm gave Gen. Douglas MacArthur the opportunity to send his airmen to blast the ships to bits. He was Lieut. George William Sellmer, 22-year-old son of George Joseph Sellmer and Mrs. Mae Fry, 29 N. Tacoma ave. Lieut. Sellmer’s father is serving in the army corps of engineers in Colorado. | A navigator in the army air forces, Lieut. Sellmer spotted the big convoy last Monday when the pilot of his Liberator heavy bomber, Lieut. Walter Higgins of Ft. Worth, Tex, decided to drop down through the heavy overcast for a “look-see.” Reports 14 Ships

The crew had been on a reconnaissance trip and were returning to New Guinea after battling tropical storms. When the plane got below the overcast, Lieut. Sellmer spotted the 14-ship convoy and gave the alarm. The bomber evaded Jap planes which buzzed around the convoy, dropped a few bombs and streaked for home. The convoy, Tater joined by eight more ships, was blown to bits by. airmen, preventing the Japs from reinforcing their base at Lae. Lieut. Sellmer was graduated from Technical high school and was employed by Allison’s before entering military service. He visited here last October. A brother, Donald, is serv-

to have lost about 50 bombers during the same period. #2
