FEAR OF AIR RAIDS
GERMAN PRECAUTIONS PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS (Times Cables) LONDON, Feb. 26. Owing to the “monstrous danger threatening defenceless Germany in the shape of aerial and gas attacks,” says the Munich correspondent of The Times, 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 pop if i tion. The scheme includes the provision of gas masks, complete gas suits for everybody called on to work out of doors, the storage of neutralising chemicals, hospitals, schools and first aid stations. The population will be warned of air raids through the observation posts, which will telephone every post office simultaneously, also broadcast wireless warnings. Other warnings will consist of the ringing of church bells, factory hooters, fire alarms and locomotive whistles. Fire brigades w r ill envelope the threatened areas with artificial fog.
