HOLIDAY CROWDS
SELECTED BY THE NAZIS AS OBJECTIVES
TIP AND RUN RAIDS CAUSE SOME CASUALTIES.
ATTEMPTS TO FIRE RIPENING CORN.
(Bv Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, August 4.
Tip-and-run raids in half a dozen areas in Britain have left little doubt, says the “Daily Mail” that holidaymakers were the “objectives.” Bombs near one railway station damaged a crowded train and trapped passengers, necessitating doors being forced and windows broken for their release. The driver and fireman and two sailors were injured. Two persons standing on the platform were killed and 50 people were treated in hospital and first-aid posts. The “Daily Express” says that the Germans in their most scattered raids on Britain recently showered incendiaries instead of high explosives. They were trying to fire ripening corn. R.A.F. fighters were out in offensive patrols over the Low Countries yesterday. Their targets included freight trains, a German camp, gunposts and three large barges off the Dutch coast.
