I could find fifty more, but they would tell only the same story. In short, the only happenings in Lodnovn just now are bombs; Just bombs and iriore bombs. Guns and moi"e guns, explosions and riiore ox- plosions. 1n our ordinary lives we make little bets among ourselves as to what time the sirens will sound next. Or how maiiy raids there will be between, say", iilidiiiglit and midnight; liow long the short- est and longest rnliis iii a given time will last, and so forth. In this matter oi the times of raids, we find generally that the an k curtain rises, so to speak, of intervals for chliilgcs of scene. must of the night, with the curtain tall- ing somewhere about 5 or 6 a, m. 8 a. m. Then quiet. A second en- core about l0 o'clock, prrlioils even a third. It. is commonly hclievicci that the morning call is tor the DKKTQQS? of seeing what damage has be dorie tire previous night.

Now and again we get a sort of coiiilriiiiuus show. Yesterday, for instance, there were eight raids. While the raids are going on. rum- our runs wild until ailtlientlc news comes through. We heal", by rumour, that this or that import- ant place has been blown to blazes. Heaven knows, enough important places have, in fact, been bombed, but rumour is nearly alivavs wrong. Of course we soon know the facts, because not only have we eyes to sec, but even the most rigid cen- sorship canot prevent the Iiondoncr from knowing that his house has been bombed, his train service is disrupted or his busservlce divert- ed. Nor can it prevent. him from saying so. Probably. it IWLS due i0 this impossibility of hiding the 0b- vious that the newspapers are now perrriitted to state iivhcre this or that bombing has taken place and what well-known public buildinq or great store was hit or burnt down or blown up. or what underground or other railway strvion oi" section is temporarily closwi.
