GERMANS ARE SOBERED
BY AERIAL BOMBING RAIDS

ZURICH. October 17.-That Great
Br1tain's decision to bomb German
cities and towns in reprIsal for air
raids on London and other English
cities and towns is having a SOLDERING
effect in southern Germany. is indicated
by the Muenchener Post. which says
that air attacks on open towns have
proved. quite apart from moral esti-
mates. that this mode of warfare will
be the means Of stiffening, rather than
breaking the determination of the peo-
pie.
The newspaper says this applies to
all the belligerents and that 1t would
be matter for rejoicing II all Of them
would agree mo longer to mako this
fearful world catastrophe still more
horrible through the slaughter Of de-
fenseless persons"

adverse influence.
Standard industrials fell 2 to
