Fire Chief Stein of Magdeburg spoke of the latest chemical fire- {fighting appliances that might be jutilized to quench conflagration | icnused by incendiary bombs. i Major Grosskreutz, air expert of the former imperial army, said that it was a flight of fancy to imagine enemy bombers coming over “like clouds of locusts.”” Only a frac- tion of a country’s air force, he argued, could be used effectively at the front. He gave an instance of an air squad which protected the Mannheim-Ludwigshafen industral area during the World War. Three {hundred ascents were made, but only seven times did the German | {flyers come in contact with the | {enemy, and only eight enemy air-/ |planes were brought down—one hit in 37 tries.

The incendiary bomb, in his opin=- ion, was most to be feared by the unhappy citizens of centers open to air attacks. —ee— New York Barber Is Detained by 1 i rat neither would a locked door keepthree ship building corporations for Ibe an early witness. | ‘Worth is Assistant Superintendent‘gbciler head, De Roche says, in of Construction of the Yosemite haste to obey the robber’s com- regation of the Doukhobors in the electric Thor combination washer and ironer is advertised.
