BRITISH WARPLANES RAIN BOMBS ON SYLT, GERMAN ISLAND BASE : In swift retaliation for the Germaii air raid attack on Scapa Flow last Saturday, a British air armada hurled its might against the Nazis last night in what is perhaps the biggest raid in history on one fortified point.

Eye witnesses m the nearby Danish island of Re boie, said that two tremendous blasts had been .heard up to eleven p. m., last night, and that one bomb undoubtedly blew up an ammunition depot.
