any air raids are attempted upon coas
cities, It Will be after a deliberate de

once the submarine had launched hel
aircraft she would submerge and put

Although the likelihood OF an attacl

minimized by officials. precautions havi
been taken to combat any such raid
should they develop. Powerful search
light stations have been established
and near several cities airplane stationl
are located from which planes NIGH

for months, powerful American. Brit

for action in the event the bochi
