WARFARE UNCERTAIN

Warfare is the most uncertain
of all human efforts. Neither
Hitler nor anyone else can have
full confidence that an attack
against Great Britain from the
continent of Europe will succeed.
1t may or may not. According to
the rules of military and naval
strategy, the chances are against
a successful invasion.
Also. according TO the rules of
psychological strategy, in modern
warfare, it is gambling with a
fortune for a belligerent govern
ment to raise popular hopes too
high. II victory is not achieved,
depression becomes much greater
among the people at home than
if promises of success were less
omnipotently proclaimed.

CAUTION advised"

To the present time Hitler has
been consistently successful in
making good his promises of ae-
eomplishment. But it is always
advisable to develop caution as
ones succession of fortunate pre-
dictions lengthens.
Hitler apparently is counting on
gigantic air attack against Brit
ain as the first major move in his
offensive. He may use some 5000
planes in succession of wave
bombings. This is probably his
extreme limit, considering the large
home and conquered areas that
must be protected and the neces-
sity for holding reserves.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-07-24
INVASION RISKY

IN AStoN ht>Nt
They now continue working until
the final alarm because il has been
determined that most bombs land
in fields or yards or other places
where they do little harm.
Nor is there any apparent indi-
cation that German invading
army is certain TO land ON British
soil in sufficient strength 10 con-
quer the country.
Even II Hitler has secret wesp-
ons and unknown ways Of trans
port, the very fact that they have
not been previously tried must
show an element Of uncertainty in
them. II is impossible TO have
complete confidence in their auto
matte success, such as Hitler seems
TO display.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-07-24
PLANES LIMITED

Il
In the past month it has been
estimated that an average of 100
German planes have been attack
ing Great Britain daily. That is a
total of 5000 planes, and less than
400 people have been killed.
The destruction Of property is
military secret. but there is no evil
denee that it can have been in any
way Gripping when the number of
casualties is so small. Indeed, the
British government recently coun-
fernandez previous orders that
factory workers must seek air raid
shelter at the first alarm.
