BOAST BY BERLIN
BOMBED U.S. EMBASSY REMOVAL FORCED DENIAL IN LONDON INTERESTING SIDELIGHT (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Oct. 21. While a Nazi broadcast statement that the “American Embassy in London has closed its doors and moved to another city somewhere in England” is quite untrue, bombs have, in fact, dropped near the American Embassy. A bomb which in a recent raid fell near the embassy fortunately caused very little damage. The German boast that bombs have been dropped in the near vicinity of the embassy and the allegation that, in consequence, the embassy is closed are, however, interesting as affording a further indication of the policy that lies behind the Nazi bombing. The American Embassy is situated in a district of London far removed from any “military objective," unless terrorisation is included in that term.
