They Were Guns
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"' BERLIN, Aug. 14 (Domel)-Au- thoritative German quarters refuse to confirm or deny reports that long- range guns set up in France were used to bombard's town on the south coast of England on Tuesday.

WITH ALL-WEATHER TREAD tyres on your car, you stop when the brakes go on-no sliding or skidding ... you start when you step on the throttle-no spinning or slipping..

Nazis Hurting Italian Trade Undercutting Methods
'In The Balkans
LONDON. Aur. 14 (Reuler),- Itallons in Yugo-Slavin are express- Ing concern at the way Germany is eutling them out of the trade markets.
Yugo-Slavin had agreed to supply Italy with 1,500 tons of copper f month, but has now been forced to promise this to Germany.
Slovalda under Nazi guidance is undercutting Italy in the Yugo-Siav markets by offering certain merchandise at 17 dinars as against | 67 dinars which is Italy's lowest price.
Germany, the same Italian circles complain, nover consults Italy on any economic mensures she takes in the Balkans, although she is bound to de so under the 1833 agreciment.
Some Halian circles openly state: that if Germany wins this war she will turn Italy into an agricultural: country just as she is planning to do with France.
