was commissioned End lieutenant.

 In this organization all of the directors and other executives have taken their regular turns as ftre-watcbers during the entire period of the war.

All have done their part. but the uncertainties of the flying bomb presented a new condition.

 While these dispatches have had to do with the British civilians in the flying bomb area. American sole diers and civilians stationed in Lon- don are naturally enduring the same conditions. There have been casualties among Anercans and the bombs that hurtle over in the night have no more respect for American sleep than British. Many a news paper correspondent or Red Gross worker reports for duty red-eyed after a sleepless night or a restless one in a shelter.
 AMERICANS HELP
