MANY RAIDS ON KISKA
(Ree. 1.40 n.m.) RUGBY, Oct, 5. A United States Navy communique states that army bombers operating from the Andreanov group are junking almost daily raids on Iviska. Weather conditions have favoured these operations and the enemy has been under continual fire. On Thursday and Friday many demolition and incendiary bomb hits were scored on the camp area and seaplane hangar. Five enemy seaplanes were shot down during the raid on Friday. Although no Hits were observed on the three cargo ships, subsequent photographic reconnaissance revealed that two had been damaged by bombs and had been beached.—Official AYireless.
