I's biggest ljombers struck
.tore at the northwestern
German naval base of Wilbelm-
shaven last night while other
planes—presumably Russian —
raided East Prussia.
RAF planes returned to the
attack today *,crossing the chan-
nel this afternoon. After they
had disappeared, faint explo-
sions could be heard from the
direction of France.
The Royal Air Force also en-
gaged in "very large scale" mine-
laying operations, particularly
in the Baltic Sea. last night, the
air ministry said. Twenty-three
British bombers were lost in all
operations.
A German broadcast told of
the raid on East Prussia, where
the Red air force has been
bombing German concentration
points in ah attempt to delay
Axis preparations for a summer
offensive. The broadcast said
demolition and fire bombs were
dropped.
The intensified mining of
the Baltic by the RAF also
was designed to hamper ax-
is offensive o p e i- a tiuns
against Russia. Neutral sour-
ces have reported numer-
ous sinkings by mines of
German ships ferrying sup-
plies and reinforcements
through the Baltic toward
Prussian, Lithuanian, Lat-
vian and Fstlionian ports.
A dispatch from Malmoe, Swe-
den, said a large force of bom-
bers flew over Denmark to-
ward the Baltic during the
night, drawing heavy anti-air-
craft fire.
The raid on Wilhelmshaven.
site of submarine-building yard,
as well as naval installations,
was the 77th of the war and
the first since the American
daylight attack March 22.
The night operations follow-
ed daylight raids yesterday on
barges and locomotives in Ho!
land, a small enemy convoy off
Brittany and railway targets in
Northern France. Two mine-
sweepers tvere damaged in the
convoy. There planes were lost
in all operations.
A (German bomheu was phot
cowtt while attacking southern
England last night.

of large intestines on nerves and

THE 2nd WAR LOAN DRIVE IS ON!
America....you've
got to
A'
MERICA —- Let's be franlt about it . . «
so far, many of us back home have
been fighting this war from au easy
chair. Many of us have bought War Bonds
out of extra cash, out of money we didn't
miss too much. We haven't been really
tough with ourselves.
But this war is a hard, down-to-reality
war. And many of our boys are dying in it.
We've got to buy MORE
So your government asks you to buy
Bonds and more Bonds—to get really tough
| with yourself. We're asking you to give up
the frills and "extras."
We know how human it is not to make
sacrifices until the crisis drives us to it. In
England they felt the same way until the
bombs started falling.
Bombs are such persuasive things. But
just-as persuasive ought to be the spirit of
our brothers, sons, husbands.
If you could see
Look at it this way—suppose you had a
'magic carpet that could take you to Africa
and Neijr Guinea. Suppose you could hear
the groan of American boys wounded, and
American boys dying. ... Say now, how
many Bonds would you buy?
That kind of war
THEY ... arc dying. And they will Weep on
;dying until we drown the, enemy in an over-
whelming torrent of bombs, bullets, guns,
tanks, planes, ships, and shells.
That's why we're asking you, in this one
month of April alone, to lend Unele Sum 13
billions of dollars—by buying War Bonds,
13 billions of extra dollars—over and above
any buying that you'd be doing anyway!
A lot of money
Of course, 13 billion dollars is a lot. of
money. It'll lake, sweat and tears to raise it.
It'll mean going without now. But also-—it
will mean savings now—to buy later. It'll
mean giving up everything you can't square,
with your conscience, so lliat we, us, our
children, can have a belter, more decent
place to live in when this war is won.
The drive is on
So during ibis month of April, if someone
calls on you to ask vou to buy War Bonds
in this 2ND WAR LOAN DRIVE, will you
buy to the limit—-and then buy more?
Better yet, will you go to your Bank, Post-
•office, or wherever you're used to buying
your Bonds—and buy NOW? Will you lend
extra money this month? Money that can
hasten the day of Victory? Money that can
help to save American lives.
Money buys money
Remember, what you're really buying with
your money is still more money. For after
all, these Bonds are money! Money plus!
Every dollar you put into War Bonds will
bring you a dollar plus interest.
So tbe more. Bonds you buy the better
for you. Americans — Get Tough — with
yourselves — for your country.
