British Determination
Stiffened In Face Of
Germany's Air Raids
Almost continual bombing of
London by the Germans, with
stiffening resistance from antiaircraft
guns arfil the Royal Air
Force, have been the order of
the day and night for the German
offensive in the Battle for
Britain, that has been raging for
the past week or more.
* r -C 4U/V
lvmny ui tiic Miups, soures,
homes, hotels and apartment
houses in London have been
struck, and huge fires have repeatedly
been broken out. The
reporters tell us that instead of
bringing terror and breaking
down the British morale, the air
attacks have stiffened British
determination to fight to a finish
and drive Hitlerism from the
face of the earth.
In the meantime, British air
forces have been striking at troop
toncentrations and shipping
along the entire channel coast,
seeking to break up any attempt
to invade England with troops
from across the narrow waters
that divide Great Britain from
the continent, and their successes
have been repeatedly told.
Germany and Italy are holding
conversations with Spanish representatives,
and it is generally
agreed that the purpose of
these is to try to induce the
Spanish to enter the war on the
side of the Axis powers, opening
the way for an attack upon
Gibraltar by land, with the
promise that the rock will be
given to Spain in return for hei
help agaijist England.
The Italians are driving in
Egypt, in the hope of driving out
the British forces from Australia,
New Zealand, and India
and thus seizing the British
bases in Africa, and the Sue2
It Jjl generally, admitted
that the Italians have gained
much ground in this, thrust; but
also that there will be a great
battle when the Italian troops
reach such ground as the British
may choose for their stand
and the British, in the meantime,
are harassing the Italian columns
from the south, in a sorl
of mechanized guerilla warfare
The Australians of the World
War were perhaps the best
soldiers in Europe, and it is generally
believed that the Italians
will not win their way to the
Suez over them without a tremendous
fight.
The plan begins to unfold, and
now it appears that, if the British
can keep Great Britain from
falling into German hands, the
great battles that will decide the
war may be fought in Africa 01
the Holy Land. The plan appears
to be to keep Britain busy at
home so that reinforcements
can't be sent to Gibraltar or tc
Egypt, and for the Spanish tc
come in and launch an attack
on the rock, while Italy strikes at
