REJOICING IN DOVER
(Rec. 7 p.m.) . LONDON, Sept. 30. The population of Dover cheered this morning when loudspeaker vans toured the town soon after 10 a.m. broadcasting a message: “The Mayor has received official information that all the long-range guns on the other side of the Channel have been captured.” The message was also broadcast in caves where many had been sheltering from the fierce German shelling. Led by the Mayor, the people gathered in the streets, dancing, shouting and singing. Flags were hung from all houses in Dover. The telephone exchange had to cope with hundreds of extra calls and telephone communications between Dover and London were blocked by enthusiastic callers advising friends of “The New Freedom.”
