WEDNESDAY’S RETREAT
London Water Tank Hit [Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn.] LONDON, December 11. A bomb dropped on London, this morning, directly hit a water-tank, causing a small flood. R.A.F. fighters, this afternoon, intercepted eight Messerschmitts over the south-east coast. The Messerschmitts bolted for home. | The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour (Mr. Asshe|ton) said, in a Commons answer, 'that very many hours of production had been saved by the “roof-spotter” 'system during raids, and that an increasing proportion of firms engaged in war work were operating schemes whereby production continued until danger was imminent. In recent air attacks on Great Britain, France’s fighter-pilots and r rench naval anti-aircraft batteries have brought down several German planes, states the Free French Forces Press Service.
