LONDON, Aug. 28 (Domei).-Goering's "nuisance flying at a tremendous height, appeared ahead of schedule at 7 o'clock to-night.
Shortly after the sirens had stopped wailing I saw half-a-dozen parachute flares drift slowly to earth at different points.
The barrage from London's anti-aircraft defences was deafening and the bursts of red shrapnel lit the sky even without the aid of the dozens of searchlights which
went into action.
The greatest concentration of searchlights London has ever witnessed took *** place as soon as the raiders

Midnight: Bombs In City
LONDON, Aug. 29 (Domei).----To-night's raid on London by the "nuisance squadron" threatens to become the longest of the war.
It began at 7 p.m.
As this despatch is being filed at 12.30 a.m. the raid is still in progress.
A few minutes ago violent explosions were heard from the heart of the city.
Fire engines have just dashed past the "Domei" office. The damage occasioned to-night may be the worst
London has experienced.

How Nazi Raiders Were Thrashed

AT AN ENGLISH COAST TOWN, Aug. 28 (UP). -At least fourteen German bombers were brought down in this area during to-day's raids.
In addition to these, I saw at least two more hits by A.A. fire.

In addition to these beams,
¡ dozens of other searchlights threw long fingers of light to and fro across the sky, relentlessly searching for and picking up the minute white objects 20,000 to 25,000 feet above.
As I write this cable the drone of planes, the angry bark of anti- aircraft gums and the occasionally dull thud of bambe bursting in the distance all combine in a cacaphony of sound that beggars description.
London Has No Narves
Londoners are meeting Goering at his own game. The Luftwaffe is trying to wear them down-to play on their nerves by these nightly raids that interrupt sleep and Hitler belloves-slows up Britain's Mass production.
But nerves are nat evident in London.
As the air raid strens shrick, the people calmly gather up their deck chairs, camp beds and bedding and troop off to their shelters.
Devotees of chess are much in evidence and even when the All Clear is given they stay on to finish their
