 The Home Office ominously point ed out that "once an emergency has arisen the actual warning of an inn pending air raid is likely to be short. .
 The government-obv in an economy n,oye-turther suggested that back garden trenches, about six feet deep, which a man could dig for himself and his family, would be among the most effective air raid shelters.

 LONDON, May 1.-The coming European war-as yet just series of headlines to mast Americans-is something the man in the streets of England has begun to view with practical, personal application.
 Hitler and Mussolini have taken the subject of rearmament out of the halls of Parliament and put it into the pubs, the barber shops and the drawing rooms.
 One stormy week with war talk over all Europe made England s ARP, (Air Raid Precautions) as well known in England as WPA is in America.
 German troops tramped into Aus tria; Poland and Lithuania let their years-0ld quarrel boil over. Franco swept toward Barcelona; Czecho- slovakia wore out her knuckles at Europe's chancellories to find out who would come to her aid if Der Fuehrer decided to reclaim" the 3,500000 German-speaking citizens within her borders.
 Until these things happened, war still was in the academic category of discussion in London despite two years of furious rearming.
 London Becomes Jittery
 The theory argued 10 years ago that the next war would be won by mass bombing raids has been some what exploded. It has been tested in Spain, and a million people in Madrid refused to be terrorized. Nevertheless a quarter of the city lies in ruins. Some 5000 Madrilenos have been killed and some 10000 injured. London is suddenly con- sciois of her vulnerability.
 Nine million people dwell in the 20-mile square which is London. The city is the food distributing center for l5,OOOOoO. It is the empires greatest port and storehouse. It is one of the worlds biggest business centers.
 And there is no ocean between it and the countries of national jeal- ousies and strife. When the war monster stalks you can almost reach out and touch 1t.
 You can go to the park mornings and see the lines in gaunt Neville Chamberlain's face as he strides along. You can try to hire maids or messenger hoys-and find they all have jobs in the day-and-night- working munitions industries. You can see 'serious-faced civilians piod- ding nervously through gas mask drills.

 Elaborate Air DetenSeS
 All eyes are on the air defenses. They are manned by 40,000 territor- ial army men, but hordes of recruits are being enlisted for emergency service.
 Anti-aircraft guns provide the chief defenses for big cities. Seventy six batteries of eight guns each eos guns in all-continually sweep the skies.
 Fighting planes provide the de- fense between the cities. But mod- ern enemy aircraft could reach London within ten minutes after being sighted on the east coast hardly enough time if warned at once, some Britains believe, for fighting planes to get high enough to engage invaders.

PARADE TO PARK
 WILL OPEN BALL SEASON, SUNDAY
Band Is to Head March to Grounds Government,
 Civic Officials Take Part

1 While the Gastineau Channel 1 League baseball team managers have been busy, of late, lining up | their squads for the campaign ahead; league officials have likewise been busy, lining up the program for next Sunday afternoon when the Moose and Douglas hines meet in the opening engagement of the local 1888 diamond season.
 League President William A Holz- heimer today announced that not only is the forced-draft sale of season tickets for the league games going along at good pace, but that arrangements are already all in order for the opener.
 In big league style, Juneau and Douglas ball fans will meet Sunday afternoon at o'clock at Triangle Place, from where, headed by the Juneau City Band players, fans, officials, everyone in whom the pulse quickens at the sound of. bat blasting balls will stretch out in the traditional parade to Fire mems Park. possibly all going in autos or trucks to make better time. ea a tG W r
 At the park, while the band works up still greater enthusiasm in the stands, the players will take the field for a brief warm-up, to be immediately followed by the time-honored hurling of the sea- sons first ball.
 To see that all is naught but as should be, Gov John w. Troy has been nominated to the post of Honorary Umpire for the, ceremony ccord ing to announcement by President Holzheimer. Secretary of Alaska, E. w. Griffin, will demon strate his old-time championship form in whipping the ball across the plate to Juneau's Mayor, Harry l. Lucas. Set at the plate to take wicked cut at the ball, and may be paste it into the bleachers, will be Collector of Customs J. J. Con- nofs.
 From then on the afternoons program will be on the shoulders of the Moose and the Islanders as they renew their last seasons feud, out of which the Paps emerged as champs and Douglas as run ner-up.
 1 Wettish weather during the past two days has handicapped the three league teams in getting into shape, but all will be well-enough set if there is any weather break at all before Sunday, according to the re- spective team leaders.
 Meanwhile, President Holzheimer 1 is giving new players not yet sign ed to play another chance to reg ister before completing the assign ment of listed players to the league squads. Newcomers wishing to play ball are to register at the office of ! the Daily Alaska Empire, with the league scorer, w. K. Clark

make a room gas-proof, how to build bomb shelters, how to give first aid, or what to do in the case ot an air raid.
 The spy hunt is on again. Alien restrictions are frightened. Scattered cases under the official secrets act pop up in newspapers. Sabotage is discovered in air factories and naval doekyards. Watch is being kept on all job seekers at aviation factories.
 It may not mean war But it is preparation such as no country has known in peace time. The working class Englishman accepts as ineY- itable that some time, Wen have to go over and wipe up that bloody -" the blank referring to whichever dictator happens to be under dis cussion.
 This time we'll be ready" he adds.
 England's 1914 maxim has been revived-"If possible, no war; but if there is war, Britain must win.
 Flares Climb
 Taxes are piled on Already the rate is five shillings in every pound of income-25 per cent-and Brit ain is looking for ways to increase her inflow of money for war prep aration.
 The Englishman doesn't like taxes any better than the American but he shrugs and says it's better to be prepared
 The Army has been getting it. self fit for two years, but organiza- tion of civilians now has been un- dertaken with vengeance. A plan has been perfected to supply the 50 100000 men, women and chil- dren in Britain with gas masks within eight hours if war breaks cut. Thirty million masks already are stored in II cities. They are in four sizes, the smallest for children between the ages of two and four. Babies will have "gas bags" which will cover them completely.
 A Home Office announcement de- clares

STRAIGHT
espceIaI to The CitizenD

NEW YORK, May 26.-Cleve-
land Indians increased their lead
in the American League to three
full games over Boston Red Sox.
In the game between the leaders
and runners-up, the Tribe, with
Mel Harder twirling seventh
ball, came out on the top of a 6
to score, despite committing
three errors.
Washington Senators and st.
Louis Browns battled for thirteen
innings. Rookie H. Mills, making
his major league debut as a start
ing pitcher, won his game, allow
ing 10 hits.
Two home runs each by Rudy
York and Gehringer proved too
much for New York Yankees and
so Detroit Tigers defeated the
worlds champions, 7 to 3. 1t was
the Yanks' third straight loss,
which happened for the first time
this season.
Chicago White Sox downed
Philadelphia Athletics, to 4.
The race still goes on in the

ers won yesterday afternoon.

Chicago Cubs kept right be-

three-hit affair against Brook

Every Cub hit safely once, with
Collins collecting two, one OF
which was four-bagger.
Pittsburgh Pirates lost close

up five safe blows. Again home
