LONDON. Oct. 3.~Eng1and had
bout decided today that once again
must fight the German with the
oche's own weapons of frightfulness.
The public demand for reprisals over
herman cities for the work of Ger
han airmen over London and coast
ounties had approached the point Of
nation wide cry. Authoritative re-
borts today had it that the govern
hent was practically ready, awaiting
bnly decision Of the military authori-
lies, to put formidable reprisal pro-
kram into force.
The proponents OF strict eye for
bye and tooth for tooth reprisal
plan, pointed out forcefully that for
weeks England and the other allies
early in the war endured the German
{rightfulness of poison gas before 1t
{was reluctantly determined that for
the safety of its manhood the inven-

must be fought with their own wea-

action. The press as a whole points

Paris or other French cities because

paid fourfold to German cities.
In the meantime London awaits
zach night with the belief that the
raiders will again come on their baby

made ready for occupancy. But the
Germans did not appear.
