ON ENEMY CHANNEL POSITIONS MADE BY ROYAL AIR FORCE. WHOLE SOUTH-EAST COAST SHAKEN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, September 6.

Flashes and searchlights on the French coast lit up both sides of the Channel. Wave after wave of British bombers participated, the reverberations of the bomb explosions shaking the whole south-east coast of England.
