British air attacks Tuesday night
on the governmental quarter oil
Berlin must be considered retalla-
tory for the German bombing of the
Buckingham Palace grounds. Hlth-
erto each belligerent has abstained
from bombarding the headquarters

to the unwritten Tule OF warfare

mand safety zones. The Bucking-
ham Palace bomb broke the rule

There has been a noticeable dill
ference in the strategy OF the bomb
ings of Berlin and London. The
British have shown understanding
of the fact that no essential mill
tary purpose is served by air Of
fensives against the enemys CAPT
tai. British aviators, therefore, have
not concentrated their attacks
wholly against BerlS.
From the commencement OF the
present thrusts and counterthrusts.
the British have kept in mind that
the primary purpose Of warfare Is
10 inflict military damage on the
enemy. so. while retaliating mOder-
ately against Berlin, most OF the
British night attacks have beer
aimed elsewhere, seeking 10 cripple
the enemy's combat strength. Baltic
and channel ports and German fac
tory centers have received most Of
the British bombs.
German bombing, however, has
been concentrated predominantly
against London TO the neglect of
the real British military areas. APP
parently the German high command
has now begun TO realize the defects
of such tactics. for last night Lon

Mason Views London, Berlin Raids
As Without Real Military Value. Says
Raj Holds Closest 10 Good Tactics

Whether this means only q tenn
porary respite for London probably
depends on Hitler's judgment OF
the weakening of German morale
by British bombings of Berlin or
its strengthening by the bombings
of London. Though the British
doubtless would terminate attacks
on the German capital If the Ger
mans let london alone, there is no
evidence whatsoever that the Brit
ish intend 10 cease night bombings
of general military detectives IN
Germany and German occupied ter

The Germans announced at the be-
ginning of the mass attacks on Lon
don that the purpose was to force
Great Britain TO abandon night
bombings entirely, whose successes
have raised questions in Germany
about the invineibility Of Nazi air
power, 50 frequently emphasized by
Hitler. If the night attacks by the
British continue. the outcome must
be considered unfortunate for Reich
Marshal Goering, who took personal
command of tne new offensive from
the French side of the channel.
Goering's name, which was given
50 much prominence in Berlin dis
patches when the attack on Lon
don began, now seems TO have dis
appeared from the German reports.
Whether this means the German
high command has decided the con-
sequences of the London bombings
do not measure up TO anticipated
results cannot yet be fully deter
mined.
Nevertheless. the fact remains
that the British have increased.
rather than diminished their night
air operations since the start of

Halt To Depression
Readers will recall that in my
outlook for the first half Of 1910
predicated a gain of 10 to Is
per cent over the same months of
1889, but a downward trend from
the high levels of January first.
This gain was lis per cent and
business is 6 per cent under the
New Year level. / also said that
we would have either boom or a
crash (no halfway course) in the
second half Of the year. I felt
that it was impossible at that time
to say which it would be. Now,
however, predict for the balance
of this year real boom in most
industries.
Pace-setter in this industrial ex-
pansion ahead will be the heavy
Industries. Steel operations are
scheduled to reach a new peak for
any six-months period on record.
They are entering the second half
at close to 80 per cent of capacity,
the highest midsummer figure
since 1929. Machine shops, metal
foundries, airplane factories, ship
yards, railway equipment plants,
have huge baclklogs of orders. Only
a shortage of skilled labor can
prevent these industries. from
breaking all previous records.
Railroad Revival
The next few months will see
the railroads pull themselves out
of the doldrums for the first time
in ten years. Rail traffic is almost
sure to reach new highs since the
"big depression" set in. Railroad
earnings will be the best since 1880
and there will be openings for
thousands of railroad workers. The
railroad revival may be short-lived,
however. Electric power plants,
textile mills, lumber camps, copper,
lead and iron mines, truck factor
les, should all get "their cut" of
expanding activity.
Home-builders should handle a
fourth again as many "jobs" as in
the late months of 1889. With |
factories frantically pushing ex-
pansion plans, many industrial con-
tractors should see their business
doubled. Building costs are ex-
pected TO move upward, too, but |
less than per cent. Real estate
values and activity will improve
especially around ship
yards and in other areas where the
defense program is concentrated.
Rents for factories, offices and
single houses may be a little
frmer.
More Real Jobs
Naturally an industrial revival,
such as is now in prospect, means
more jobs and bigger payrolls.
