FURTHER "RAIDS" ON COAST
LONDON, Aug. 10 (Reuter). -The air exercises, suspended during last night owing to bad weather, were resumed this morning, when a feature of the operations was the accurate work of the observer corps under difficult conditions.

Several bomber formations com- pleted raids without being seen by the fighter patrols, but the bad weather and poor visibility made things dimeult for
fighters and bombers alike.
The "enemy" were compelled to fly under low clouds, where they made good targets for the light anti-aircraft
defence.
The latest information at the Air Ministry is that the weather is now improving, and there is every hope that night-fying will be possible in co-operation with to-night's black
out.
The Air Ministry reports that be tween 1 par, and 430 pm, the weather conditions were to bad in some places as to restrict operations) to the defending fighters, owing to The necessity of observing safety regulations which would not exist in war time.
Plane "Shot Down" Two low-lying attacks were delivered oti an aerodrome near London and some bulidings were damaged by bombs, but no damage was inflicted on personnel, and very little on aircraft.
In the early afternoon a colitary enemy bomber, which appeared to be in dificulties, flew over the nero- drome and was shot down by three Westland fighters.
Throughout the day anti-aircraft batteries heavily engaged with small formations of bombers flying below the clouds.
Westland ecunter-bombers were in action
throughout the day against Imaginary bases in Eastland, and this, in practice, would have materially limited the scope of the offensive.
With reference to the disappearance on August 8 of a bomber, believed to be missing over the North Sen, the Air Ministry announces with regret that as extensive searches have folled to find the aircraft, it must now be accepted that the five occupants lost their lives.

On the French side several advanc- ed posts of the Maginot Line have also been flooded, but not so badly as on the German side, because the French banks are on higher levels.
French observers report that 15 forts of the Siegfried Line situated 15 icilometres south of Strasbourg near the Rhine's turning were most seriously affected by the floods, while Swiss reports from Basle state that the German forts in that region were flooded by the Ruhr and

the members of the Y.M.C.A. Ama- teur Dramatic Club met in the Y.M.C.A. lounge yesterday afternoon to discuss the Club's programme in general and the Christmas pantomime in particular.
Mr. J. Allsopp, who presided, stated that the club's programme envisaged one play before Christmas (probably in October), the usual pantomime at Christmas, and a play in the New Year. Ho invited sug- gestions concerning the October play, which must be dependent upon the
talent offering.
The script of the pantomime, how- ever, was already in hand. It was a pantomime which contained 10 "fat" principal parts, and an effort would be made to make it even better than any previous V.M.C.A. pantomime. Captain V. Petherick would agnia be stage manager, and Miss
Daisy O'Keefe would be dancing mistress. They had been fortunate in securing in place of last year's producer. Mr. A. Fruen who has since gone Home, Major W. de B. Wood, of the Army Education Corps, who recently arrived in Hongkong and who had hnd wide experience in amateur theatrical production in England.
Major Wood then briefly addressed the meeting, telling them that it was hoped to make music bigger factor in this year's production. In addition to the principals, a chorus of 30, and a juvenile section of 10 would be required; so that the cust would number 61 persons.
