STORES FOR THE OFFENSIVE
LONDON, March 7.
The "Sunday Express", displays a reporter's description of a mammoth ordnance depot "somewhere in Britain," where bedding, cooking utensils, tools, and general service stores are piled in row after row, each 20 feet high, filling one of Britain's largest warehouses and overflowing into warehouses and buildings elsewhere. A senior ordnance officer, when he was asked where all this was going, replied, "That secret is known only to those who were at the Casablanca conference, and to a few people at the War Office. I don't know myself. You are the first civilian to see this tangible evidence of the fighting to be done this year in a war theatre that is yet to be opened."
