PROTESTS OF GERMAN POPU-
LACE PROOF BRITISH AERIAL
BOMBING rs EFFECTIVE
(By Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 15.-One of the most
significant features of the aerial
bombing offensive of the British is the
loud response it has ELECTED from the
German people, say British newspa-
pers.
The bombing Of England brought
no complaint, but only renewed reso-
luton from the British people; yet
Germany, suffering from the first pre-.
liminary pangs of the British attacks
at once began to cry out against 1t,
and protest upon protest is pouring
into the German authorities from the
populace of the J. different areas at
tackled.
This means that the British bomb.
ing offensive is effective, that far
reaching destruction has been caused
to railway functions and factories,
and that the German claim that Brit
ish raids have accomplished nothing
serious have been untrue.
Details of the damage caused by tho
British raids can easily be suppressed
by the German censorship, but tho
voice Of the German people cannot pe
permanently stifled, and 1t is asserted
there is abundant Photographic and
captured documentary evidence that
their fears are based upon real execu-
tion done.

DEFYING DEATH.
Keeping Up Telephone Service During
Battle Requires Courage.

Keeping up communication during a
bombardmcnt Is most difficult and
dangerous task. Sometimes the lines
are broken In several places by shell
fire. Instantly that communication is
broken lincmcn are dispatched to mend
the wires. They move out simultan-
eously from both ends. following along
the line until they discover the break
and mend it.
To move out across a field where
dcash is falling like leaves in an au-
tumn forest requires the finest kind Of
pluck. but the signalers never seem to
fail.
"Hcarn. the wires are down." eX-
claims the officer who had been for a
minute fruitlessly lingering the tele-
graph key.
Very good SIR answers the fsaAta rfRfaaai
Hearn. and Immediately leaves the pro-
lection Of the deep dugout and begins
to run along the trench, with shells
crumping In every direction. Some
time passes. Hcarn does not return
and the communication Is not re-es-
tablshed.
Mitchell. guess Hearn has gone
down: you carry on his place." is the
next order.
Very good. sir" answers Mitchell,
and without question goes out into
the storm Of bursting shrapnel.
Sometimes one lineman after another
is dispatched. and all fail to return.
But at all costs communication must
be established. There are no braver
men in the war than the artillery
signalers, and none who made a great
er sacrifice in the path Of duty. During
three months in the Somme last fall
our battery had its signalers complete
