 SPECIMEN WARNING NOTICE
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-11
THE AIR-RAID SIREN

What unremembered voice is this That speaks of things never knew Of blasted towns and dying men, And cities blackened out from view? What is the fear that grips my heart, Like some defenseless beast at bay, When air-raid sirens scream at night And moan our tortured lives away? It is not death alone fear, But that the vultures in the sky Who gather for this bloody feast Shall be unanswered when die. Among the shattered ruins that were Our homes: upon the stricken land When morning lifts across the Isles We say: Great Britain stin will stand" And when the sirens vail tonight And speak of death, and deaths dark grave, Wen know in spite of bombs and flame That victory attends the brave.

Proved by Newspaper of 1910

files Of Alexander's Weekly Mes
senger for 1840, that Poe printed %
cryptograms from January to April,
solving each. In addition to the
ciphers, several literary contribu-
tions, including one, Instinct VS..
Reason-a Black Cat" are un-
questionably by Poe, society officials
said.
In describing the results Of his
challenge, Poe said the cryptograms
sent him included several employ
ing foreign languages and one
querist used seven different
alphabets without intervals between
letters or lines. However, he de-
clared, he Immediately solved all
except one which he proved to be an
imposition because it was a jargon
of meaningless characters.
Clarence S. Brigham, director
Of the society, said the Poe ma
