Destructive R.A.F. Raids LONDON, Sept. '17 (Reuter)-The great destructive effects of the R.A.F. raids on Germany cannot be con- cealed no matter how much the Nazi censore try, as messages received in London to-day show.
A Basle message says that traina from northern and western Germany nre arriving up to 14 hours late. These parts of Germany are among these getting very keen attention from British bombern.
Another interesting report comes from Berlin itself. It la to the effect thai the Germans are transporting barges from the Baltic
to the Danube
