THINK GERMANS WILL
GET USED 70 ). RAIDS

LONDON, July Is - associated
Press In the opinions of British gov
eminent officials Germany's emotional
crisis due to air raids on cities along
the Rhine will be of long duration,
with progressive attrition Of German
morale.
The Rhine, they point out, is a broad
river as well as a long one and II is
an unmistakable guide to airmen flying
high by day or night. Many munition
towns are distributed along that stream,
and also within easy reach Of Allied
arrmen are the iron towns dOtting the
river Saar.
Germany cannot, it is argued, put up
an effective air barrage along the whole
length of the Rhine and the Saar, al
though she can, by robbing her battle
line, keep fighting planes on the Rhine
to tack the raiders. However, WHEN
thc"Rritish recently raided Saarbruck-
en-, Germany lost three to one when
she sent up fighting machines for de
Tense work, and Saarbrucken was
bombed Just the same.
