today fo begin the

August air offensive after a record!

month in which U. S. aircraft took

2 toll of 925 Nazi fighters and aided | in the war’s greatest bombings. ! orted by Spitfire squadrons, | e bombers struck at the German|

airdromes at Merville and St. Omer in a 45-minute flight over the Dover | straits. Safe return of all the planes tes-| tified to the effectiveness of July's unprecedented blows at Germany's air strength. Britain's big bombers, which with U. S. Flying Fortresses rolled up the July record, stayed at] home last night presumably because of adverse weather.

Mrs. Harriett Beatty, wife of Clyde, the famed animal trainer,

| plays a similar role in the Clyde Beatty-Wallace Brothers circus which

will give matinee and evening performances Wednesday and Thurs-

day at the circus grounds, Southeastern and Keystone aves. Here she

is putting one of the big cats through its paces. The show, new on the |

road this year, brings the wild animal acts, a menagerie and other

features of larger circuses.

500 Fighters Destroyed | Yank Drive bo Capture . Vila

A An official announcement from American headquarters said the toll of enemy fighters exacted by U. S. planes in 10 daylight raids during July “broke the back” of the luftwaffe. At least 500 Nazi fighters were destroyed, 150 probably de- , Wiig and 275 damaged, while 108 lving Fortresses were lost. The equally impressive bombing totals set the July record at approximately 26.000 tons for both Aperican and royal air force craft, | including the devastation series on Hamburg, Germany's second city. The R. A. F. handled approximately 20,000 tons of the total in 13 raids. Reports from neutral Stockholm and Switzerland describing Nazi excitement over the raids and orders for. partial evacuation of Berlin and clearing of Hamburg testified to the results.

790 Germans Killed

A dispatch to Stockholm from occupied Norway said that the American raid on Trondheim July 24 had caused 790 German casualties ‘$mong troops that thought the alarm was because of reconnaissance by allied aircraft and failed to take shelter. The precision assault wrecked the new shipvard. the dispatch said, destroying a U-boat and damaging one destroyer among other vessels. The U. S. 8th air force's 6000ton contribution was a 50 per cent increase over June and enemy pier casualties rose 75 per cent < the far-reaching Fortress attacks carried to within 90 miles of! Berlin.

Bombing of Other Reich Cities Causing Panic, Reports Say.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 2 (U. P)— A partial evacuation of civilians

from Berlin was reported .ip prog- | ress today as German reaction to severe air bombardment of other, Reich cities turned panicky and the Nazis pushed a propaganda campaign apparently designed to pre-, vent a break in morale. Berlin was untouched by last week’s record British and Attia air offensive, but the Berlin correspondent of the Dagens Nyheter | said a pamphlet had been delivered | to homes in the capital urging all] persons whose presence was not es-|

Previous reports told of orders for general evacuation of Hamburg, main target of the allied bombers. Masses of Berlin residents, im- | pressed by trainloads of evacuees | pouring in from Hamburg, EsSen | and Cologne and by the sudden rise of authoritative warnings, were said | fo have spent the last two ays digging bomb shelters.

THE EXPANSION of local telephone systems everywhere was virtually halted more than a year ago: Since then, the Telephone Company has “stretched its equipment to the utmost in order to provide

some service for as many people as possible.

UNDOUBTEDLY, SOME PERSONS will be seriously inconvenienced. This, we sincerely regret. But please remember, it is something that neither the Government nor the Telephone Company can

help — it is part of the price of fighting the war.
