BERLIN BECOMES BLAZING INFERNO
STOCKHOLM, OCT. 21, (REUTER).—DISPLAYING GREAT DAR- ING IN THE FACE OF HEAVY GUNFIRE, BRITISH R.A.F. PILOTS TURNED A BERLIN DISTRICT INTO A BLAZING INFERNO DUR- ING A BIG RAID ON THE CAPITAL LAST NIGHT.
Many incendiary bombs and high explosive bombs of the highest calibre fell in the area, states the Berlin cor. respondent of the "Afton Bladet," who, visiting the district immediately afterwards, found a scene of great destruction.
About 20 people were killed and wounded, bomb splinters, broken glass and stones were flying about.
Other reports, declare, that) British planes approached the city in

directions. The city was illu- ninated by a waning moon but small clouds provided the raiders with cover.
A German official communiqué declares that only incendiary bombs were dropped. This conflicts with reports by the official news agency that high explosives were unionded as well.
