Berlin, Aug. 1. ERMANY'S new. "Hush-Hush" stratosphere bombers, never yet seen by the public, are expected to participate in air manoeuvres on an un- precedented scale which will take place at Halle, near Leipzig, probably in September.

A large number of the German Air Force machines will take part.

Haile, where the great refineries and dumps of the Luna petrol concern--the largest petrol producers in Germany-are situated, in 100 miles from the Czecho-Slovakian frontier.

An invading fleet of bombers will "attack" the Luna works. As the heavy, twin-engined Dornier and triple-engined Junker bombers appear converging on Halle from the south and cast, swarms of fast fighter machines will rise to intercept them and a mock "buttle" will be waged in mid-air.
