SHIPS BOMBED
DEMONSTRATION IN ITALY TRAMPS SMASHED AND SUNK MISSILES OF 2CWT AND MORE By Telegraph —Press Association. Copyright. (Recd This Day, 12.15 p.m.) ROME, May 8. Twelve bombers sank in twenty-two feet of water, in order to permit their subsequent salvage for scrap iron, two 2000 ton tramp steamers. Herr Hitler and others saw the preliminary explosions, but the concentrated bombing by projectiles weighing 2cwt and upwards raised such a pall that nothing was visible till it cleared, when the vessels, torn and gashed, lay at the bottom.
