London, February 25.
The Munich correspondent of “The Times” states that owing to the “monstrous danger threatening defenceless Germany in the shape of aerial and gas attacks,” a Central Bavarian Committee is being formed, Including Government and municipal representatives, police, fire brigades, doctors, ambulance men, chemists and aviators, to put into operation measures necessary to defend the civil population. The scheme includes the provision of gas masks and complete gas suits for everybody called on to work outdoors, the storage of neutralising chemicals in hospitals, schools and firstaid stations. The population will be warned through observation posts, which will telephone to every post office simultaneously, and also given a broadcast wireless warning. Other warnings will consist of the ringing of church bells, sounding factory hooters, fire alarms, and locomotive whistles. Fire brigades would envelop the threatened areas with artificial fog. ,
