Falling Shrapnel

Shell fragments from anti-air-
craft fire fall like hail over the
areas from which the shells are
fired. This is one of the reasons
for afraid alarms-to clear the
streets and surrounding zones of
people who might otherwise be in
jured by the falling fragments.
According to the u. S. bureau of
standards, the average anti-air-
craft shell is blown into approx
mately $500 fragments, many of
them small and relatively harm
less. Occasionally, however, large
fragments fall with velocity
enough to damage buildings and
cause serious or even fatal injury.

Expressing confidence that the

calling OH him at the White House.
AS has been the practice. Mr..
Roosevelt did not specify in his
statement the exact nature Of aid
already given or intended for the
Greeks. His remarks were. however,
carefully worded in their intent to
command and encourage the hard
pressed nation.
The heroic struggle of the Hellenic
people to defend their liberties and
their homes against the aggression
of Germany after they had so sig
nally defeated the Italian attempt
at invasion has stirred the hearts
and aroused the sympathy of the
whole American people Mr.. Roose-
welt said.
During the Hellenic war of indie
pendence more than a century ago,
our young Nation, prizing its own
lately won independence, expressed
its ardent sympathy for the Greeks
and hoped for Hellenic victory. That
victory was achieved.
To-day, at a far more perilous
period in the history of HellaS, we
intend to give full effect to our set
tied policy of extending all available
material aid to free peoples de-
Tending themselves against agrees
sion Such aid has been and will
continue to be extended to Greece.
Whatever may be the temporary
outcome of the present phase of the
war in Greece. I believe that the
Greek people will once more ulti-
mately achieve their victory and re-
gain their political independence and
the territorial integrity of their
country. In that high objective. the
people of Greece and their govern
ment can count on the help and sup
port of the Government and the
people of the United States"
