MODERN WARFARE
CIVILIANS IN FRONT LINE LONDON, Nov. 6. (Received Nov. 7, at 10.30 p.m.) Sir Archibald Sinclair in his speech spoke of the expense of modern warfare and referred to the magnificent response to the various " War Weapons Weeks." He concluded: "This is total war against vou. and the whole civilian population is in the fighting line. Not only must our trenches, our aircraft, and our ships be manned under the enemy's fire, but our offices and workshops, too. So with God's blessing they will be, but we must not lightly assume God's help. We are fighting the powers of cruelty, oppression and brutality the powers of evil. Our victory must be a victory for those ideals, which are common to men and women who by their various paths seek to draw closer to His throne, and of freedom, brotherhood, gentleness and peace."
