BRITAIN’S RETORT

METHODICAL BOMBING THE “INVASION” PORTS KIEL AGAIN RAIDED (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 27. (Received Sept. 27. at 11 45 p.m.) Watchers on the English coast cheered relays of bombers*as they swept over the Channel to attack the invasion bases. An avalanche of bombs lit up the sky on the French coast.

An official report stales that last night the R.A.F continued its heavy attacks on the Channel ports and shipping at Kiel, where, on the previous night, the battle-cruiser Schamhorst had been attacked The comment is made that watchers on the English coast had a grandstand view of the raids on the French ports and saw vast fires spread over a wide area

American newspapers, commenting on the R.A.F raids, state that Dr Goebbels’s prestige has been bombed just as much as any aggre gate of military objectives in Germany. The British raids are not according to -ae script and they must have had an abrupt effect on the German people It must be a shock to them to find that bombing is a thing at which two can play. A message from Berlin says it has been decreed that the schools will not open on mornings after raids lasting after midnight. The time lost is to be made up in the afternoons.

The public has been ordered not to visit the bombed are is.

The theatres are opening at 6.30 p.m., an hour earlier Run usual.
