WELL UNDER WAY.
Preparations To Meet Any Invasion. CIVILIANS' IMPORTANT PART. British Official Wiiretese. (Received 1.30 p.m.) RUGBY, June 18. Preparations to meet the threatened invasion of Britain are well under way, and military authorities point out the important part which is to be played by civilians, when and ■ if the threat materialises. The handicapping effect of refugees on defending forces and the great assistance afforded the enemy by consequent disorganisation has been amply demonstrated in all countries which have been subjected to the Nazi invasion.
