ART OF PERSUASION
"BOMPHLETS" FOR THE ENEMY
Rec. 1 p.m. RUGBY, September 3. A new method of distributing frontline propaganda to the Germans has recently been introduced. Previously leaflets pointing.out the impossibility of their position and the need for urgent surrender have been fired in shells. Leaflets are now directed at the German troops by special bombs dropped on notified targets by fighterbombers. A large proportion of a bomb load of leaflets frequently consists of safe-conducts, written in English and German, for Germans who wish to surrender. Sixty-five per cent of the prisoners taken by Canadians from Lisieux to the Seine were found to possess them.—B.O.W.
