The message states that the bombs home rather than loose fact that in the first operations them under weather conditions in the Berlin area last Sunday which made it diffleult to hit week, a great majority of the precise military objectives us British pilots brought their prescribed in their orders, shows the

NO LIVES LOST: KIDDIES SANG AS THEY TOOK TO THE LIFEBOATS
LONDON, SEPT. 1 (REUTER).—A BRITISH EVACUEE SHIP ON ITS WAY TO CANADA HAS BEEN TORPEDOED BY A U-BOAT, BUT NOT A SINGLE CHILD WAS LOST.

Wreckage such as the remains of a Messerschmitt shown here is strewn around the coast of Britain, and the loss of Nazí pilota and observers may well prove irreplaceable. The re markable effect of the machine-gun fire from the eight guna of our Spitfires in well illustrated in this photograph.
