EASIER THAN A PRACTICE RAID

London, To-day.

DESCRIBING THE SYLT RAID, one of the section leaders said it was much easier than bombing on a practice range there being no rules and regulations to observe.

Sylt, he said, was easily visible on the night of the raid and the crews could see new diggings in the sand between Hornum and the southern end of the island.

A strong following wind caused the British machines to arrive 20 minutes early and the section leader filled in part of the time by zigzagging down the extreme length of the island.

"I spent most of the time trying out new night binoculars," he said. "I had several pairs with me and when the time was up I flew over the tar get, dropped a parachute flare and then made the first bombing attack. "DUMMY RUN."

"It wasn't too good for my obser- vers signalled "dummy run" so I went. back and tried again, this time, I think, with more success. I could see a large crane for hauling seaplanes out of the water quite clearly and I felt the concussion of the bombs as they exploded.

line of "I approached the huge searchlights fringing the eastermost side of the island from the rear and they looked just like a line of bayonets. The halo. cast by them must have shown up my plane but we were not hit.

"The searchlights were like a signal saying to us "Come on, here is Sylt.” We saw them miles out over the sea and when I flew down to the island I must say they seemed to be pretty accurate."

NAZI PLANE PLASTERED Describing an earlier leaflet raid over Berlin the officer said he was told a Messerschmitt was on his tail. "What happened to

him I don't know," he added. "He must have been plastered all 'over with paper because we were dropping leaflets at the time."

He considered the strongest de- fended. German area from the ground was the Ruhr, where, he said, "they oppose us tooth and nail,”

J. A. HOBSON DEAD

London, To-day. The well-known "economist; J. A.- Hobson, died yesterday at the age of 82. He was the author of numerous books and articles on economics.

"THOUGHT IT. NICE" Describing a low flight over Berlin | Reuter. the speaker said two members of the crew lost consciousness when flying at 22,000 feet through not using the oxygen supply.

The Canadian navigator rendered them aid but himself felt ill after, "so I dived from 22,000 to 9,000 feet to revive them, and opened up the en- over the heart of Berlin. That but I wasn't in the programme thought it would be nice to do it." British Wireless.
