WASHINGTON, Aug. l7.-Allied bombing may not yet have cracked the morale of the German people, but conservative observers believe the nerves of thousands of people in oft-shattered cities of the Reich are nearing the cracking stage.
 In the last year of World War I, when Allied planes were mak- ing relatively puny attacks on some cities, the Germans put out
 feelers" for an agreement be- tween the belligerents which would limit bombing operations
 In February, 1918, the Spanish Ambassador to London told the British Foreign Secretary that the King of Spain had been in com munication with the German gov ernment with the object of get ting some check placed "on the bombing of undefended towns"
 In March of that year, the Reichstag requested the German High Command to present meas ures looking to an agreement with regard to air raids. The Brit ish government then took the posi- tion that such an agreement would be only to give an advantage to the enemy.
