Warning Bombs Taken
For Actual Raid
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER
tBy Cable 10 The Tribunel

London, July 22.-London expert
enced its first air raid warning signals
at $50 o'clock this morning. The city
being absolutely quiet, a majority of
the inhabitants were unable TO dis
tinguish the new bomb signals from
gunfre, with the result that most Of
the population abroad ran TO cover
Those still in bed made themselves as
safe as possible.
The general effect seems 10 have been
that London had all the narrowing ex-
periences Of an air raid without any
necessity for il.
Signals were carried out by every
fire station simultaneously with the fir
ing of three bombs, and if London traf-
fic were always still and il could be
made possible to differentiate between
the warning and the sntl-aircraft fire,
then the new system of signals would
be an undoubted success.
The subway stations were quickly
packed after the warning signals, not
only with passersby but whole fam
lilies in various stages OF undress, some
even bringing the remains of their
breakfast with them and eating il on
the platforms in picnic fashion. The
churches were also a fsvorite place OF
refuge, those on the way thithsy hurry.

Emotions Await
Mobilization

The country was emotionally unpre-
pared to enter the war. For this no.
body is to be separately blamed. The
country is still emotionally unmobi-
lized. For that there is no help. Mo-
mentum must wait. When the mass is
emotionalized then it will move. Alci-
blades complained of the Spartans that
you could not move them until you had
made their blood run cold. Perhaps.
But one of the visiting editors was
an unconscious psychologist, as Alci-
blades was. On his way to the Union
Station to catch the midnight train he

Accredited 20 the Pershirs Army IN France

Paris, July 22.-one of the best OF
the French aviators says that the
greatest service American fiers can
give is in the development Of team work
in the air.
Recently back from the front, he de-
c!ares that the German, though IN
ferior in a man-to-man fight, has in
creased his effectiveness by the use OF
SQUADRON formations. Germans are sell
dom encountered alone now. This has
curtailed the scope Of the enemy's ac'
tivity, but made him a much more dan
gerous adversary.

"The French aviator is a match Tor
two Boches, but not for five or ten. The
English and Americans must realize
that the day Of sportsmanship in the
air is done. Air fighting cannot be
PLAYED like a game. The practice OF
evolution in groups under the command
Of one plane is essential.

A Nation Slow to Sense War

contains its own inertia. This Is large
ly the result Of its recent emotional
past.
II a correspondent may lecture the
editor, then be it said that the editors
question is wrong.
No Fear, No Hate,
To Drive Us On
Momentum is mass plus velocity. No
body is hindering the velocity. The
trouble is that everybody is trying TO
impart il to the mass in his own way,
and nobody knows how, for the reason
that there is no way 20 do this thing.
1t must, so to speak, happen of itself
must be under some inner compulsion
to move as by one impulse, all in one
direction. Then you have momentum.
The impulse in war must be emotional.
The war emotions are mainly two.
They are dynamic. One is fear; the
other is hate. Neither is modified.
Take it from the beginning. There
was at first the remote feeling, What
have we TO do with abroad" There
was even a vague sense of superiority
in US over those who knew not how to
manage their affairs without recourse
TO brute force. The President said
there was such a thing as being too
proud 70 fight" This sentiment was
far from being unanimous, but it was
very widely spread, especially in the
West II was for time the prevailing
sentiment. Mr.. Wilson was reelected
as the man who had kept US out of
war" The people did that. One of his
first great adventures in craftsmanship
on being reelected was to call upon the
ccmbatants to define their aims dis
tinctly and consider peace without vic
tory.
Then at last the United States de-
clared war in a spirit which for de-
tached and romantic idealism is un-
matched in all the history of human
contradiction. II was to be war with
out profit. without rancor, without
hatred, That is splendid. One wishes
the world were ready for it. But if a
war in that spirit is possible, then the
science of psychology is nonsense At
for nurseries only.

Ship Chased Two
Days by U-Boat
Passengers in Lifebelts as the
Steamship Danced 81 900, 600
Cargo to Safety

Atlantic City, n. j., July 22.-War
met Mrs. Vincent Astor halfway as she
sailed to France TO help care for the
wounded. Duncan Freedley Macdonald
ir.. Of this city, who was a passenger on
the same liner, has written TO his father
Of a two days chase by a U-boat. Mrs.
Astor. he wrote, behaved beautifully
"she was certainly game" ne con-
tinued. "and all the fellows admired
her pluck. Her only remark was; We'll,
if that thing catches up with US shall
wish that | was where the walking is
better than it is around this ship"
Another passenger on the liner
wa, Miss Ethel Hartman, daugh-
ter of the late E. II. Hartman. Mac
Donald. with four friends, was on his
way to join the American Ambulance
Corps. The passengers numbered $50,
and there were several hundred enlist
ed men and a cargo OF munitions,
which Macdonald says, was worth
more than s1,O0o,ooo.
Dogged Liner Two Days
For two days the submarine dogged
the liner, and at night every passenger
strapped on a life preserver.
"For at least twenty-four hours"
the young man writes, I'VE did not
know whether that little wasp was
going to catch up and sting US or not.
1t kept buzzing right along in our
wake.
"The captain of our old gig was not
taking any chances. He made the snip
do a grapevine, a cake walk. and we
even skated out a complete figure eight.
This was kept up for a full day, and at
the end Of that time we felt as though
we had been playing ring-around-a-
rosey, or drop-the handkerchief, and
were dizzy with the antics of the ship
and the attendant excitement
Whether the U-bost got within range
and discharged a torpedo Macdonald
does not say, and his friends believe
that IL any missiles were wasted the
giddy gyrations Of the big ship made
the misses so wide that no passenger
knew of the attack. To the relief with
which the passengers, who had spent
two anxious nights in life preservers,
hailed the sight of land Macdonald de-
votes a single sentence.

81 .0o0, 900 worth Of munitions. Believe
me. if that German submarine had got

rich reward in the fine prize"
So far as the cables have told. Mrs.
Astor has dropped no word Of the
U-boat which popped up under foot in
the "bad walking" OF the Atlantic. On
her arrival in France she announced
that her war relief plans were uncer-
tain, and hastened to another port to
meet her husband, who is an ensign in
the navy.

Examiners Face Difficulties

Aside from the question of malinger-
ing, the problem Of merely doing the
work which the government has laid
out in the time allotted is worrying
the medical examiners. Some of them
believe the only solution will lie in
examining registrsnts in patches of a
half dozen or more, for even in cases
where disability is obvious-as is
pointed out By DR.. Arthur c. Fishmann,
of Local Board 119--a complete exani-
nation must be made and the reprft
blank filled.
There was a report in circulation
yesterday, purporting TO have origi-
mated in Washington, that several hun
dred Federal agents had been sent 20

boards in running down slackers ard
