THE TWO DICTATORS

MEETING AT BRENNER PASS LONDON, Oct. 3. (Received Oct. 4, at 11 p.m.) The Berlin correspondent of the British United Press says it is reliably stated that Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini. .will meet at Brenner Pass to-morrow. Herr von Ribbentrop has already gone there. The Germans to-night chalked up at least six more child victims of terror warfare. They were seven-year-old pupils of a Midlands school, which was dive-bombed. The victims included three evacuated girls and a cripple boy. Other fatalities are reported from the bombing of a factory, houses and an A.R.P. post. Night raiders on London, like the day raiders, bombed " blind" because of low clouds. Bombs fell south-east, west and south of London, on a town in Wales and on south-east and south-west England. Two heavy bombs were dropped on Central London and others on North London. A single night raider suddenly swooped from low clouds and machine-gunned a busload of factory girls returning from work on the outskirts of Liverpool. The bus driver, sighting the plane through the driving mirror, zigzagged, and nobody was hurt.
