GERMAN FORCES DISORGANISED

LONDON, May 23 (Reuter).-The Air Ministry to-day announced that the tanks, armoured vehicles and troop concentrations which were forming a vanguard for the enemy's advance towards the French Channel ports were again heavily bombed yesterday by strong forces of Blenheim aircraft.

For more than six hours, until the gathering of dusk made the recognition of troop movements impossible, relays of aircraft kept up an almost continuous as sault with bombs and machine guns.

There is a Loch Ness Monster atmosphere hanging about the whole affair. You shall hear the evidence and return whatever verdict you like.

First witnesses were two small boys who went to a look-out station and said: "Oy, Mister, the sea's boiling." The look-out, looked out but saw nothing. He con- cluded that the boys had seen a strong tide breaking over some rocks. We shall recall the look-out later,

A man who was travelling by train from Dover to Folkestone was more expliclt. "I saw a big disturbance on the surface of

Another person said he thought that some scals that had been seen near Folkestone were holding a mass meeting

out to esa and were throwing up a fine spray,

Most people reject this theory. Mr. J Fogg, a boatman, sald con- fidently that he saw spout of water shoot up in the air. He suggested facetiously that someone on board a patrol vessel wanted fresh fish for tea and had dropped a depth charge. A man fishing with a rod and line on the pler said that in his opinion it was miniature tidal wave..

Smoko Float Theory Another bit of evidence is favour of an eruption or vast dis- -turbance...on—the sea-bed,

looked like stemn.'

The look-out, recalled, is con- vinced now that he knows the actual reason for the boiling sea.

"There is no doubt about it," he said. "It was a smoko font dropped by un aeroplane. I have seen them before. The effect of the water on these things produces a steaming and a vapour."
