COAST LASHED BY GALES
INVASION NOW MADE HAZARDOUS (Received September 18, 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, September 17. Autumn’s gales are beating to. night against the cliffs of Dover. It is too early to estimate the effect of the sudden weather change upon Herr Hitler’s invasion plans, but a considerable effect is certain. The wild winds and rough seas make any attempt to tow barges across the Channel a hazardous operation. - The gale will also make dangerous any attempted landings by troop-carrying aeroplanes. There is no encouragement for Herr Hitler in the huge seas crashing on the beaches and the promenades of tlie south-east coast, where thousands of inhabitants of battered towns are carrying on undaunted by the fiercest air raids.
