The air ministry announced today that one of the largest! forces of British bombers to be used since the war began, last night continued a ruthless "forestalling offensive" against German invasion bases. The announcement said: "Steadily increasing its attacks against German-held channel ports, the bomber command of the Royal air force last night sent one of the largest forces of British bombers to be used during the war to continue a relentless 'forestalling offensive which for nearly a fortnight has been going on against the German invasion bases.

Bomber command aircraft made heavy, sustained attacks on ports of Hamburg, Antwerp, Terneuien, Flushing, Zeebrngge, Dunkirk, Calais and Boulogne. "Much damage was done to shipping and military stores. "Gun emplacements in vicinity of Cape Gria Nei also were attacked," Coastal command planes sank two supply ships at Mzerbourg, where many fires were started, the ministry said. Pound Hamburg Line The air ministry said, "While the potential 'invasion spearhead' on the French, Belgian and Dutch channel coast, ships, barges, docks and harbor gun emplacements were receiving yet another terrific onslaught, other forces of RAF bombers flew northeast to pound the right wing of the enemy's line at Hamburg and add further destruction at those strategic railway yards and junctions of Germany's western frontier, which already have taken so much punishment." Meanwhile, London's defense time and again hurled back German attacks with heavy losses as the Luftwaffe pounded the capital with persistent daylight attacks. From dawn to dusk German planes swept across the coast, sometimes in small groups of bombers with big fighter escorts and sometimes in large bomber formations.

Four times raiders xinsuccessfully tried to come up the Thames estuary. The first three groups were hurled back quickly as British fighters attacked. During the fourth approach, a large battle developed in which two of 24 bombers were downed. As one bomber crashed into the sea there was a burst from a machine gun as if the gunner were making a frantie last effort to hit the pursuing British Spitfire fighters. German planes dropped numerous heavy bombs on one estuary town, causing some damage and casualties.

British fighters downed four raiders and dispersed the remainder. Nazi Failure Charged Sir Archibald Sinclair, secretary of state for air, said today Germany has been unable to destroy the British air force or sink the British navy, and that air raids have failed He said that since the blitzkrieg started in August, England has lost 631 machines over Britain. France, th" Low Countries, and Germany. "Loss of German air crews totals nearly 4.000, while ours is under 600," he said. Gillson D.

Bell, 64, Long III, Dies At His Home Hero Gillson DeLong Bell, 64. presi- on m. ivraViu; and former court reporter, died at 6 :55 a. m. today from a stroke at his home, 1661 Fiikoi St.

He had been in ill health for a long time. The body was to be cremated and private funeral services to be attended by old friends will be held at 4:30 p. m. Thursday at Williams mortiiary. Interment will be private.

Mr. Bell was born in Nevada City, Cal March 23, 1876. He first came to the islands as a stenographer for J. W. Mason, president of the Hilo Mercantile in 1897.

Several years later he moved to Honolulu and was appointed first reporter for the territorial supreme court on February 1, 1904. He later served in the first circuit courts and retired after more than 25 years in this profession. Mr. Bell was a widower. Surviving is one daughter, Mrs.

Margaret Barrus of Honolulu. Reid Rites Thursday Funeral services for Norman Hall Reid, 41, of Kaneohe will be held at 4:30 p. m. Thursday over the ashes at Borthwick mortuary. Burial will be in the Nuuanu cemetery.

Mr. Reid died Monday in Honolulu from a heart attack. Surviving is his widow, Mrs. Mary Bryan Reid. os TThe War A HINT as to what the Royal air force has been doing on recent nights when Berlin and other principal cities went unmolested was seen in an official London announcement today.

The air ministry said that British planes have laid separate mine fields around 30 Ger-rnan held ports, thus turning against "nazis a weapon they were cred-Wd with introducing last winter, the aerial mine. These nocturnal mine laying operations have been in progress ever since May, the air ministry said, and have covered the coast line from Norway to the Bay of Biscay. Intended for general destruction of German craft, the measure was believed to have been aimed primarily at nazi plans for invasion of England. As for that long discussed subject, invasion, there seemed to be a growing feeling in London today that perhaps it will not come, after all. News correspondents reported a conviction among neutral military attaches that the air blitzkrieg has failed in its principal mission to knock out the Royal air force and that an invasion attempt would be madness until that is accomplished.

They also expressed belief that London already has taken more punishment than any other bombed European city, including Warsaw, Barcelona. Madrid and Rotterdam. The comparison does not seem particularly apt, due to the far greater area covered by sprawling London greater than the combined area ef any other, two world cities. The longest air raid of the war ended early this morning after a night of death and destruction and Londoners went to work red-eyed and weary while the Royal air force fought back 300 raiders who came over by daylight. mm Axis awareness of growing American interest in the war was demonstrated today by a conference at Rome, where the statesmen of Italy met with Foreign Minister von Rib-bentrop of Germany.

Included in their discussions was reported to have been the transfer of 50 United States destroyers to Britain in return for Atlantic naval and air bases. Sir Archibald Sinclair, British air minister, announced meanwhile in London that Col. Charles Sweeney, veteran of the. World war Lafayette Escadrille, is organizing a group ef Americans to fight for England called the Eagle Squadron. J.

dip) Not a single bomb fell on London itself today, the air ministry announced, although a number exploded in the region of the Thames estuary. The latter killed an undetermined number of persons and damaged houses. The admiralty announced that the submarine Narwhal was overdue and considered lost. By DREW MIDDLETON LONDON. Sept.

18. (P) Royal air force fliers and ground gunners met a German aerial armada over east London today and were reported to have repelled in full power one of the greatest assaults against the capital. Military attaches and correspondents who experienced blizzards of bombs in Warsaw, Barcelona, Madrid and Rotterdam expressed the opinion today that London already has taken more punishment than any other city. The consensus was, however, that the Luftwaffe had failed to achieve its main purposes and that prospects of invasion had diminished. The British Press association said the attackers were beaten off a terrific engagement over the Thames estuary.

Seven daylight raids were reported by 6 p. a new high. A channel storm was blown to sea and Dover straits were rough. Sunshine replaced mist and rain, disclosing that a bomb had fallen on the lawn of famed Westminster Abbey. Formations of bombers and Messerschmitts totaling 300 drove on London in the fifth alarm of the day.

Ten German airplanes were reported downed. Falls Near Embassy A time bomb that fell near the U. S. embassy was removed lter by one of the "suicide squads" which specialize in eliminating such hazards. St.

Paul's still was menaced by four German time bombs buried in its vicinity, but a giant 1,100 pounder has been removed. Two time bombs which fell in the Buckingham palace precincts, one of them on the northwest wing, have been extricated and carried to the edge of the palace lake. British officials announced that 42 German planes were destroyed in today's battles, with nine RAF planes lost. Five British pilots saved themselves by parachuting, the report said. Only small units of Germans reached the city during the day's raids, which were unprecedented for frequency.

The mightiest raid did not reach the city and the action in driving off the invaders was termed one of the war's greatest aerial victories for the British. An eighth raid began shortly before 7 p. m. An air ministry communique said the RAF raided Zeebrugge and Os-tend yesterday, bombing harbor installations and ships. British officials announced that shipping and military stores concentrated at many continental ports suffered "much damage" last night from heavy bombings by the Royal air force.

Mine Fields Laid The air ministry announced that the RAF has planted more than 30 separate mine fields in German- occupied harbors and territorial waters from Norway to the Bay ef Biscay since May. "It is known that thousands of tons of enemy shipping has been destroyed" by this means, the announcement said. Sir Archibald Sinclair, the air minister, announced today that the RAF had lost 621 planes and less than 600 men since August 8. During the same period Germany lost 1,867 planes and 4,000 men the minister asserted. Italian Planes Downed The RAF in the Near East has shot down 56 Italian planes with the loss of 15 RAF ships, he said.

Sinclair said Messerchmitt fighters vastly outnumbered bombers in today's raids. The Press Association commenting on reports or Lrerman snen nre falling in London said that nothing was known of such attacks. Whole Blocks Wiped Out BERLIN. Sept. 18.

(JP The news agency DNB announced today that German aerial raids last night wiped out entire blocks in parts of east London. Authorized sources said London's Tilbury docks were in flames as a result of last night's raids. British lost 11 planes yesterday, compared to four for Germany, a communique said.

The Internal wrangling In the Labor party over the third term split the party into two factions. The right wing supporting the president for reelection won a narrow victory on the basis of reports from 94 out of 131 districts. right wings claiming victory.

The right wing indorsed President Roosevelt and the left wing campaigned against a third term. In New York some Democratic hopes were brightened by defeat of John J. O'Connor in the 16th congressional district, who campaigned on an anti-third term platform. Rep. Hamilton Fish won the New York GOP renomination.

In New York the results also included renomination of Samuel S. Leibowitz, noted criminal lawyer, for county judge of Kings (Brooklyn) county and defeat of Joseph McWilliams of the anti-Semitic American Destiny party for the GOP congressional nomination in the 18th district. In Wisconsin returns from more than two-third of the state's precincts gave Fred H. Clansen. small town manufacturer, a commanding lead in the seven-man GOP senatorial race, in which the late Glenn Frank polled a courtesy vote which placed him third.

All Massachusetts representatives were renominated, most without serious opposition. Senator David Walsh unopposed for renomination, will face former Senator Henry Park-man unopposed GOP nominee. In Connecticut the Republican state convention unanimously nominated Paul Cornell, senatorial candidate, and renominated Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin.

Army officers here are giving eloe attention to the initiation of the conscription bill in Hawaii with a view to acting as quickly as possible. Some surprise has been expressed in congressional circles that the army was not ready to inaugurate the draft In Hawaii at the same time it did elsewhere. President Roosevelt has been asked to set Saturday, October 26 as draft registration dav for Hawaii, a highly reliable source told The Star-Bulletin today. An estimated 21,200 young men between the ages of 21 1 and 35 will go to 30 designated districts throughout the territory on October 26. or what-ever date is set, and register for the draft.

Governor Poindexter declined to comment en the exact date of registration, but said it "probably would fall sometime in the last two weeks of October." He would neither confirm nnr deny the report that October 26 might be the day. However, he conceded that Satur- day would be a good day for regis-. tration, in view ef the availability of school buildings as registration places on that day. Territorial Secretary Charles M. Hite will be unable to serve as executive of the territory's conscription registration setup because of his absence on an extended mainland trip, the governor added.

Mr. Hite had been mentioned pre viously as the logical, almost automatic choice for the post, in view of his familiarity with election machinery. The governor said, however, that since the territorial secretary will be gone until November, another man, probably a territorial official, will have to be substituted. Governor Poindexter said he and other territorial officials are somewhat in the dark as to details of the conscription act and will be until a copy of the act is received from Delegate Sam King next week. Delegate King radioed Governor Poindexter today that he will sendj a cooy on the next clipper.

The governor emphasized that all civilians serving on selective service boards or in other capacities in connection with conscription probably would have to serve without pay. "There will be only a few paid jobs." said he, "and they will be clerical and stenographic. The others will be held by patriotic citizens who wish to do their bit. Wherever possible we will pick election officers to serve on selec tive service boards." 1 jMaLWclsfl GlVCn Leave To Aid In Draft Work Here Maj. Charles R.

Welsh, city planning engineer, was granted leave late Tuesday by the city planning commission to serve as an adviser in the preparation of the selective service act in Hawaii. He is an army reserve officer. The request for Maj. Welsh's services was made to the commission by Col. Perry M.
