Show AIR ATTACKS HARSH ON GERMAN NERVES Kiver Rhine Proves Unmistakable Guide for Raiders; Emotional Crisis Expected Ex-pected to Be Prolonged. LONDON. Aug. 3. In 'the opinions of British government officials, Germany's emotional crisis due to air raids on cities along the Rhine will be of long duration, with progressive attrition of German morale. The Rhine, they point out, Is a broad river, as well as a long one, and it is an unmistakable guide to airmen flying high by day or night. Many munition towns are. distributed along that system, and also within easy reacTi of allied airmen are th iron towns dotting the river Saar. Germany cannot, it is argued, put up an effective air barrage along the whole length of the Rhine and the Saar. although al-though she can, by robbing her battle line, keep fighting planes on the Rhine to attack the raiders. However, when the British recently raided Saarbrucken, Germany lost three to one when she sent up fighting machines for defense work, and Saarbrucken was bombed just the same. |
