AIR RAID PRECAUTION.
INSTRUCTION IN BRITAIN.
AN ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK.
(United Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.)
LONDON, July 30.
Some of the terrors to which civilians will be exposed in the event of war, including high-explosive bombs contaminated with mustard-gas, in addition to a succession of choking gases, nose gases, tear gases, blister gases, phosgene and Lewisite, are explained in a highly-informative illustrated handbook on air-raid precautions which the Government issued to every householder in Britain to-day.
The handbook comprises 110 pages. It emphasises that its issue does not arise from any belief that war is imminent. It deals with the general principles of anti-gas protection. It is pointed out that great responsibility rests with members of the air-raid precaution services *to set an example of quiet courage and cool resourcefulness in emergency which is possible only by carfeful training andi clear appreciation of the facts.
