BLUES THREATEN
AGAINST DEFENSE
Bf Arthur L. SehMnl
(UP Staff Correspondent)
Velm, Wash., Aug". 15. U.R
An attacking "blue" army today
mashed back defender! of the
lower Puget Sound area three
miles In far western mock war
games, threatening a pincer
movement on the southern wing.
The northern wing was swept
back in a fanlike maneuver leav
ing the aouthern wing of the
defenders surrounded on three
sides by the advancing force of
blues.
Numerically Inferior, the de
fending reds rushed reinforce
ments into the pocket to prevent
their being cut off and captured
Heavy reinforcements at the
corners of the pocket indicated
a counter-attack might be immi
nent to rescue the trapped forces
Blues were moving up in the
lakes sector preparatory to a
turning flank attack.
Such a move would cut off
most of the red army in the
southern salient.
Aerial activity during the
night and today saw 60 planes
in ine air at once.
SEEN BY BRITAIN
London, Aug. IS. (U.P.) The
ministry of information "said of
ficially tonight that the drop
ping of German parachutes on
British soil was a hoax inas
much as they did not carry
troops to the ground.
The air ministry said some of
the parachutes, dropped In
Tuesday's raids, were seen fall
ing empty while others fell in
their containers. Some landed
on roofs or in tree tops, the min
istry said, with home guards on
the spot and ready to pick them
up.
Supporting evidence that the
parachutes were designed to
make the British believe troops
had been landed, thus aiding
Germany's "war pt nerves,"
were bags containing what pur
ported to be operations orders
for parachutists, the ministry
said.
YESTERDAY
we sold a good '37 Ford to a
man whose family had previ
ously bought five ued cars
from as during the put two
years.
That's flood Will!
