BERLIN IN DARKNESS FOR FIVE NIGHTS
INTENSIVE AIR RAID DRILL BERLIN, September 15. Workmen with black curtains and paper have begun preparing the windows in factories and offices for the air raid precautions in Berlin next week. People are already criticizing the inconvenience, and shops, innkeepers and the theatres complain that they will lose heavily when the city is plunged into darkness for five nights. Householders also resent the prospect of officials bundling them from their firesides to the cellars. Shoppers will not be allowed to return home when the alarms sound, but must dive into cellars.
Many residents comment that the exercises are excessive unless Germany is expecting immediate war.
