Battle Of Britain
Begun With Wave Of
German Air Raids
Bombers Less Thun Half
As Lethol os Autos,
Writer Declares
BY H. ]. ]. SARGENT,

LONDON, July IS (C.NF9.-The
battle of Britain has started. It's
outcome will shape the worlds des-
tiny for an untold number of years.
To the Americas the importance of
the battle is vital. In the circum-
stances, it is interesting to consider
how the battle began. It opened,
Of course, with air raids.
Bombs were dropped all along the
east and south coasts. The German
planes got as far as South Wales.
One wonders what the object of
q these relatively small raids could
have been. Ever since last Septem-
Der reconnaissance flights by Ger
mans have been of the greatest
frequency. The enemy should by
now know what to expect from
British air and ground defenses, and
yet these visits went on.
The first big raid was made by
about 100 bombers, of which were
brought down. Seventeen German
airmen were captured. The British
casualties were IL dead and 20
wounded. Five other raids followed,
with results approximately similar.
There were altogether 10 German
bombers brought down and less
than score of Britons were killed.
Nation Shelter Conscious.
If Herr Hitler thinks that that
was the beginning of a battle which
would put the fear of God into
the English he must have been
disappointed. The German bomb
ers proved themselves, when the
battle opened. much less than half
as lethal as the British automobile.
This country is far more shelter
conscious than I thought it would
be. People now take cover in a
speedy and orderly manner which
is very praiseworthy. After much
criticism and some derision, the So
called Anderson shelters, the little
steel nuts covered with earth. which
were distributed in enormous guam
titles. either free or at very low
cost, have come into their own,

usefulness of these shelters, but

scientifically strutted and reinforced,
attached to great blocks of apart
ments. In the country, however.
and in the suburbs, where the citizen
occupies his own little house, the
Anderson shelter reigns supreme.
Value of Shelters Shown.
will quote two cases from the
provinces of how these shelters
proved their worth. In a north
eastern town a man was standing
just inside the door of his shelter
when a heavy bomb dropped Is
feet away. Nearby houses were
wrecked. but the mans shelter
withstood the shock. All he sus-
tanned were few bruises, while his
family were flung down, but were
not hurt. In the same district two
women and six children had been
IN their shelter only a few minutes
when their house was blown to bits.
They themselves were unframed.

Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. with whom
no more than with Mrs. Hale does
one associate sectional mannerisms

Mistress Of Detail.
Despite her unhurried manner,
Mrs. Hale makes, quick decisions,
passes on from one problem to an
other expertly and conducts varied
types Of interviews with dispatch,
apparently knowing how to termi-
nate an interview as gracefully and
graciously as she makes the chance

She sees first every person who

F. d. X. ACTS LIKE
CANDIDATE

We do not know whether Mr.. Roose-
welt will accept third term nomina-
ton. We believe, however, he will. For
several years he has acted day in and
day out exactly as candidate acts.
We believe he has used the European
crisis to further his plans and ambi-
tions. We believe he wants to break
the one unbreakable American prece-
dent-the tradition that no man shall
serve more than two terms in the
White House.
But we are confident that if Nh.
Roosevelt accepts the nomination
which now is his for the taking, this
country will face crisis as great as
that which has confronted the French
and the British.
Likewise we are confident that the
ballot which Americans cast in No
vember will be, by far, the most i'm
portant ever cast in this country, for
on the outcome of that election may
hang the future course of this land
for another hundred years. This, now
that we have entered the season of ag-
gressive political campaigning, is a
cold SOLDERING thought which may we'll
be pondered
