true.
Real Test Looms.
Some grunbling but no real con-
troversy was caused by the increase
of some s5O.O00,OOO in military ex-
penditures i'll the current British
budget. The real test is about to be
staged. To build warships on the
Clyde or to produce howitzers at
Barrow is one thing. 1t isn't dra-
matte, and not many people notice it.
To rehearse London in behavior for
air raids is quite another. 1t Is
highly dramatic and far less simple
Already in the Liberal and Labor
press there has been raised a con-
siderable cutlery against the proposal
that the British civilian population
should follow the lead of the CONT
mental ones and indulge in a few
elementary drills. 1t is charged that
this very fact will help create the
war mentality; that the government
is simply working up a good scare"
Dozens of conscientious DIRECTORS to
AFRAID drills have already written to
the newspapers to proclaim that they
will die rather than take part.
Thus, Il would rather die with my
family at the first Whit of gas than
lift one finger to aid the war
mongers." wrote one woman to the
Daily Herald.
On the other hand, the ultra
conservative Morning Post fears that
the Cockney turns everything into a
jest, and to put London into gas
masks would be to invite his easy
chaff"
Meanwhile, with all this, it is not
inevitable that war will come. What
does seem to be inevitable is that the
one nation of the Eastern Hemisphere
in which for the last decade the daily
life of the population has not been in
some measure Influenced by the fear
of another war will now fall into line
with the Others on the road that has
never yet had but one terminus.

Meantime, arrangements were being
made through F. E. r. A. headQuar-
tiers here to prevent cremation of the
bodies, if possible, and to have the
veterans buried in metal collins.
F. E. r. A. officials instructed Mar
vim Porter, regional engineer at the

those recovering bodies not to cremate
them. Porter advised headquarters
that arrangements for speedy produc-
ton of collins near the scene were

Veterans Divided in Placing
Blame for Death of

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September 6.
Virtually all of them injured to some
degree or badly shocked, more than
200 survivors of the hurricane-hit war
veterans camps on the Florida keys
arrived at Camp Foster here today on
a special train from Miami.
A corps of Jacksonville physicians
Immediately began examining the vet
Grams. The more seriously injured and
shocked survivors will be taken to the
United States veterans hospital at
Lake City, 80 miles west of here. The
others will be quartered at Camp
Foster.
More than half the veterans wore
bandages. They were dressed in make
shift array, virtually all of them hav-
ing had their clothes whipped from
their bodies by the 100-mile-an-hour
winds which leveled their camps and
killed many of their comrades.
One F. E. r. A. transient relief
official said there were 225 survivors
in .the group. Some Of thes veterans
said there were 1856. An offlcial list
was being prepared.
Most of the men talked a bit in
consistently at first, some of them
complaining about being moved here
and most of them declaring their COM
rades could have been saved and they
could have been spared the horrors of
last Monday night and the days that
have followed If officials had moved
them out of the keys in time.
They varied In their statements
about who was to blame, some saying
camp officials should have taken them
out of their unprotected quarters,
others blaming F. e. r. A. Veterans
Bureau officials here at State head
quarters and still others blaming

Wray Gillette, Pan-American Radio
operator, said 1t was believed the total

A Red Cross official said:
There never will be an accurate

Gov. Sholtz planned an airplane

The F. E. r. A. and the National

A Coast Guard plane and a cutter
with food and clothing were sent to
isolated fishing communities on the
west coast Of Florida, where many
families were reported to be In serious
straits.
At Cedar Key, picturesque fishing
town, between 200 and 800 residents
were cared for in a school house.
Clothing was needed for more than
800 children. Water was brought in
\ by trucks.
More than a score of Coast Guard
craft were used in relief work, some
Of them as hospital ships to carry the
injured from the stricken area to
points Of refuge.
