GERMAN LONG-RANGE GUNS ON CHANNEL
(Rec. 8.10 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 20. The Lisbon correspondent of The Daily Express says the Germans are reported to have installed longrange guns every 90 yards between Calais and Dunkirk. These are intended for more serious work than the present nuisance shelling. Probably they will play an important part in any attempted invasion. A few so far have been used for intermittent shelling. They usually mean that the Germans are testing a newly-installed gun. An engineer employed on the construction of the Siegfried Line is reported to have told a friend that the Royal Air Force’s damage to gun emplacements was considerable, but it was insufficient. “When the lime arrives we will have enough guns to blast Britain’s south-eastern corner and prepare the way for the landing of troops,” he said.
