But more arresting In this swift game
OF highest possible stakes was carefully
staged formalizing of Berlin Toxic Rome
axis in German capital on Friday. Be-
fore hand-picked audience of some 200
newspapermen and diplomatic repre-
sentatives of three governments, sigma
tories met in big gilded Hall of Ambas-
sadors of new Nazi chancellery.
Solemnly, Nazi Won Ribbentrop, Fas-
clSt Clano, Jap Kurusu signed declara-

powers of three nations and 25O,OOO 900
people were joined in 1O-year bond of

rogated to Germany and Italy leadership

founding "a new order in greater East

was no doubt of meaning of article 3

indeed it is an essential precaution So
is the nightly bombing Of factories and
oil tanks whether in or used by Germany.
As, to the bombing of capitals, it is
degenerating into a war Of reprisals
which cannot possibly decide the military
issue. The Germans in their propaganda
frankly admit that the attacks on Lon
have seen our bombing of Berlin de-
Tended on similar grounds. There is
no use at this stage to explore the ques-
ton OF who is responsible for having
started these raids. Each side blames
the other and there is no tribunal ac-
ceptable to both sides which can be
called on to decide the point.
1t is surprising and gratifying to note
that casualties in these tremendous and
terrifying bombardments have not so
far been high. Uninterrupted lombard
ments at night on a very large scale
have not caused as many deaths as
single minor operation of the last war.
The total number of deaths over the
whole island do not in the aggregate
amount to more than few thousand.
The explanation is simple and reassuring.
Nervous Strain Promoted.
The number of attacking planes each
night Is not more than a few hundred.
Each plane carries only limited num-
ber of bombs. When these are dropped,
that plane is out of action. On the other
hand, in a great land battle thousand
guns fire a continuous stream of shells
without break, day and night. In a
single battle in France we fired
million shells day-some of them of
very heavy calibre. Even the casualties
actually effected in battle were mostly
from machiue-gun fire, not from shells.
The prize gained from these bonn
bardments from the air is not so much
in the actual casualties obtained as in
the nervous strain created by the noises
and constant apprehension from which
q bombarded city is never free. This
makes unbroken sleep almost impos-
sible in bombed areas, and the human
system is worn out if the experience Is
long continued without periods Of re-
taxation.
Troops were never kept in the line
more than Q few days time. They were
then withdrawn to areas where they

enjoyed comparative repose. That can
not be done in vast city with popu-
lation of seven millions. There ought,
therefore. to be measures taken by the
government to eliminate this incessant
sense of fear, fright and strain in the
hearts of people who are now subjected
to these narrowing experiences.
AS I pointed out in my last article,
this can be done by providing deep
shelters within reach of every one-weu
underground where noise will not de-
scend or interrupt sleep. Once every one
knows that safety is at hand, the dread
and horror will disappear altogether and
these raids will cease to undermine the
morale of the nation.
Would End Reign Of Terror.
The government ought to see, before
winter is upon us-and it is not far off
that every man, woman and child will
have a safe refuge at hand at which
they know they will be secure from
these murderous raids. AS soon as that
is accomplished, the reign of terror will
be at an end. In these impenetrable fort
resses, the occupants can afford to laugh
at the efforts of their baf1led assailants.

LONDON-The battle in the air is
growing in intensity. Our aerial attacks
on Germany and military positions in
areas occupied by the Germans in the
invaded territories have been last week
more numerous and destructive than
ever before. The same observation is
equally true of German attacks on our
country.
There is every indication that as the
nights are getting longer these terrible
bombardments will become more and
more prolonged The weather interferes
with the accuracy of aim but doesn't
seem to diminish the number or extent Of
the raids. How long will this bomb
ing and counter-bombing go on?
There is no sign on either side OF q
weakening in its resolve to continue
operations. Quite the reverse. Incl
dents inevitably occur which exasperate,
embitter and stimulate the spirit of re-
venge and reprisals. These always are
the episodes to which prominence is
given in the propaganda on both sides.
The aerial struggle may therefore 60 on
indefinitely.
Military Value Questioned.
Up to the present there has been no
indication of results achieved which af-
feet seriously the military situation. 1t
may, of course, be over-early to come to
that conclusion. If Germany has any
purpose except that of mere intimida-
tions, it must be that her leaders think
these bombings will facilitate the task
of invasion.
But I cannot see how the destruction
of number of poor houses in the east
end of London or even of \ row of hab-
erdashers' shops in the west end will
help them get their barges across the
Channel in face of the British fleet.
And am convinced from all the evi-
dence that comes to me that these
bombings will not create such panic as
to reduce the defenders of these islands
to state of paralytic fear.
I, therefore, am at loss to explain
the intensive nightly bombardments OF
London from the viewpoint Of military
measure.
