They Watch the Weather and
Draw the Blinds But Refuse
to Be Panic Stricken.
MANY DON'T SEEK SHELTER
Buses and Subway Trains Operate as
Usual and Club Men Sit Calmly
Under Glass Roofs-Only the
Foreign Element Frightened.

London.-The thick London fog,
often referred to in America, is one Of
the British capitals chief projections
from air raids by the Huns. If it is
a foggy or misty night the searchlights
Of Zeppelins cannot reach their long
fingers of light to the earth and pick
out the English coast or find their way
to London. Airplanes, likewise are
baff1ed. So thick fog gives sense
Of security and one buys ticket to a
theater with far more cheerfulness
than on a moonlight night when the
air is clear.
The weather has attained a new
sphere as topic of conversation. One
Londoner may greet another with ::
"Well, it looks like a good night for a
raid" if the evening is fair. More
than a hundred bombings have taught
the Londoner to expect a raid on such
nights. He considers it lucky if none
occurs.
"Blinds must be drawn at 9:30 p.
m. today" runs a line in the daily
papers. AS summer approaches the
hour is made later, to correspond with
dusk. And the blinds are drawn. Ho-
tel maids are instructed to attend to
this promptly. Hotels also have pla-
cards warning guests that police will
hold them responsible if a light shows
from their window.
Buses Operate as Usual.
All London does not take to cover
when an air raid is on. During re-
cent raid, when bombs were being
dropped and bits of shrapnel fell full
sumely, the auto busses, with their
woman conductors, operated as usual.
And there were passengers. British
ers do not regard the air raids with
fear. People in the street get under
cover, if it is handy, so as not to be
hit by falling shrapnel. But they do
not dash madly to shelter or push or
Jam their way into safety In the
underground railway stations. The
subway trains are operated as usual.
Only the foreign element, largely en-
ployed in munition factories, has be-
come frightened. Many of these have
moved into safety zones.

At last they grow tired of dancing.
A friendly hand of bridge is suggested
as an alternative. Only small stakes

he takes friend. They dance and are

ticle was written by DR.. Struve. pro-

declares that the submarine war is a
failure, and discusses at considerable
length '.who was responsible for the
unrestricted submarine warfare agita-
tion and for the statement that England
could be forced to her knees within
six months"
DR.. Struve asserts, after quoting a
variety of witnesses, that the whole
agitation was conducted and engineered
by Admiral Won Tirpitz after the lat
ter's retirement. The article then de-
velops into an attack on Won Tirpitz
and the new fatherland party for get
ting Germany into this difficulty" and
closes with the assertion that the sub
marine warfare might have been a
success except for the fact that Won
Tirpitz while in Office had neglected to
build submarines in sufficient numbers
to insure success.
THAT was the reason" adds the
writer. that unrestricted submarine
