Low Flying Raiders

London Nov. 13.

There was a lull in the Nazi attack early today but the respite probably was only temporary as low fying planes and gunfire were heard consistently up to midnight.

A number of fatalities were 1e ported by 1030 p.m, when the mass attack slackened off and raiders began coming in singly.

Although the planes seemed to be fewer the anti-aircraft barrage was heavier and more guns were being used.

Chancetlor Hitler's Luftwatte pounded London terrifically around 930 p.m, planes coming over at the rate of one a minute, InnumerableMfares were dropped, and British anti-aircraft guns turned their barrage on the flares, to snuff them out, but the attempts usually were: not' successful.

German raiders unloaded high ex plosive bombs, incendiary bombs and "breadhaskets."—United Press.
