ZERO HOUR DELAYED.
HEAVY GALES PERSIST. LONDON, Sept. 17. The autumn gale is beating to-night against the cliffs of Dover. It is too early to estimate tlie effect of the sudden change in the weather upon Hitler’s invasion plans, but a considerable effect is certain. The wild winds and rough seas make any attempt to tow barges across the Channel a hazardous operation, and the gales would also -ender dangerous attempted landings by troop-carrying planes. There is no encouragement for Hitler in the huge seas crashing on the beaches and promenades of the SouthEast Coast, where thousands of the inhabitants of the battered towns are carrying on undaunted by the fiercest air raids.
