Hundreds of doctors and nurses
called in frantically to know where
they would be most needed. Ap,
peals were made for gas masks,
while thousands of persons con-
trived emergency masks, as was
done by the Allied soldiers when
the first German gas attack was
launched.
In schools and colleges, panic
reigned, as students heard the
news of the invasion. Many
tainted, and there was a rush to
telephone home and learn what
had happened.
AS the frenzy grew, one man
called New York police to say he
had witnessed some of the fighting,
and could hear other shots being
fired.
"BLACKOUT" SOUGHT
In Providence, R. l., persons ap,
pealed to the power companies to
throw the main switchs so there
would be complete "blackout" SO
enemy planes could not bomb the
city.
In Boston, police were informed
that bombs had fallen and fires
had been started.
There was a panic in Indian.
apolis when a man rushed into
church shouting:
"New York has been destroyed.
Go home to die with your be-
loved ones"
In other sections Of the nation
the report went out that the end
! Of the world was at hand.

Telephone company officials es-
timated there were more than
5000 calls to the Columbia Broad
casting Company office here alone,
and the board there was unable to
answer the calls.
Officers and men Of the Ma
tional Guard attempted to place
calls to learn if they had been
ordered modified to combat the
invaders. Army and Navy officers
on leave attempted to communi-
cate with headquarters to get or
ders on what to do.
Scores of persons appealed to
the Red Cross for gas masks and
advice as where to go to escape
the danger of the invading hordeS.
Church services were interrupted
as persons who had heard frag,
mentS of the broadcast rushed In
with the startling news, and con-
gregations bowed their heads in
prayer.
FLEE NEW YORK
The panic here was nothing
compared to that in New York
where thousands of persons loaded
their possessions in cars and FLED
the city. Highways were jammed
with people seeking to flee the
city, which they believed would
next be under attack.
In the Harlem section
thousands stood on the streets

The Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn, which staged the broadcast
as part of its weekly feature, the
Mercury Theater of the Air, Is
sued a statement that was read
several times after the broadcast
explaining that there was no In
tent to mislead the listeners.
Four times during the broad

panic, fear and hysteria that
spread throughout the nation,
these announcements were over

lions of persons.
REACTION AMAZES
Orson Welles, brilliant young
stage star who directs the Mer-
curry Theater broadcasts, and who
adapted the old novel, "The War
of the Worlds" placing the attack
in New Jersey instead of in Eng
land as the fantastic book was
written, declared he was amazed
at the reaction. He said:
"We've been putting on all
sorts of things, from the most
realistic situations to the widest
fantasy, but nobody ever both
cred to get serious about them
before. We just can't under
stand why this should have had
such an amazing reaction"
The telephone lines of the ma
ton were swamped for hours, as
frantic persons sought to secure
information, or attempted to get
in touch with members of their
families in the invasion" zone.

 Germany rapidly is adding two more satellites in her Central Flu ropean constellation without re- sorting to force. Poland is wedge against hostile Russia, Hungary's dictator, Admiral Nicholas Horthy is testifying to the world that he is friend of Germany.

)f lives in battle. In keeping with a program of Hess war and fewer casualties" the War Department is substituting machines for men whenever possible.
 Let us take few concrete exam ples. For the World War infantry division of 22,000 men, we are sub stituting a force of approximately 13,000 The decrease in men IS taken up by more guns, more trucks, more tanks, more armored care and more mechanical robots.
 The infantry regiment of 1917- 1918 had 3,664 men. The proposed new organization calls for less than 2,30O. The doughboy of yes terday had 12 machine guns to bol- ster the human efforts of his regi- ment. Today it is proposed to give him 48. We have developed an au- tomatic rifle which in the hands of one doughboy can deliver as much fire-power as five of the old Sprin- fields in the hands of five fighting men.
 In the cavalry we note similar tendencies. The old horse regiment included 1,764 men and eight ma- chine guns. The new mechanzied outfit has 749 men and 522 machine guns.
 Finally, let me say, it is the sin cere hope and prayer of every re- sponsible person in the War De- partment that we will never have to call on single truck. a single tank, single machine gun or even single rifle in defense of our country.

war should break out at any min ute; on the other, the amber lights of caution.
 Reasons for unrest:
 Germany regards her destiny as the domination of Central and Southeastern Europe from the Rhine to Constantinople. It lured her into the World War, and it has Hitler and the German people hypnotized again The quickest path to power lies through stub born Czechoslovakia, tn It war created state of many nationalities Backed by treaties with France and Russia, the little republic is ready to fight.
 Germany has mobilized a million men in trial maneuyers to test her strength, increasing the jitt CT s throughout Europe, and furnishing she kind of excitement that leads to war.
 The French cabinet has risked a labor revolt by talking about scrap ping the 40-hour week "Warlike conflicts are the predominating concern of peoples" said Premier Edouard Daladier, arguing tn { France must go back to work for the national defense. Wars are raging in Spain and the Far East In Central Europe great nations are testing their forces. ."
 The Rebel General Franco has turned down a British scheme to pull foreigners out of the Spanish trenches. Into the ashcan with the British scheme goes temporarily the Anglo-Italian treaty for peace in the Mediterranean a treaty predicated on the withdrawal of foreigners from the Spanish war.

IT TAKES MONEY

The reasons for another year of peace in Europe:
 With the possible exception of Great Britain, the nations of Flu rope are broke, and the people don't want to fight. France, des- perate, is on the verge of regiment ing both labor and capital to pro- duce the goods that will restore prosperity and confidence in the franc.
 The German mobilization pro- duced slump in the Berlin stock market, which was also attributed by the German state secretary Fritz Reinhardt, to reich spend ing" of recent months.
