LONDON, Sept. 20-It seems to be
about time to say a few words about
the new type of nomads wandering
over London-the temporarily, one
hopes, homeless ones who have come
into the streets without hats or
toothbrushes-the frequently dyna-
mited gypsies whose belongings are
scattered through half a dozen
hotels and whose lives are condi-
toned by time bombs. They are
alive-many of them-for the reason
that dice Sometimes fall that way.
This visiting fireman came here
from Dover to get a nights sleep
away from the artillery. 1t seemed
like a reasonable idea. Here then is
his story of a typical London eve
ming.
Everything in town looked as 1t
had a week ago. Life in general
seemed to be pursuing an even tenor.

off in the distance and the anti
aircraft guns began to slap over
head. The threatening murmur of
airplane engines was getting in

Listen to the blighters," and he
swore with all the fervor of prayer.
WELL" he said, "In take you
part of the way there, anyhow
Well see how 1t looks" And he

There were flashes ahead every
now and then and more noise and
pretty soon the air was filled with
dust and the acid stencil of cordite.
