This is the sober although lin- official opinion of scores of mili- tary men, from army privates and ordinary seamen to officers, and British, allied and neutral diplo- matic and political observers who agree that: “Germany will try to break Britain and win the war be- fore May." Bfliflln. these informants be- lieve. will beat off the German invasion attempt. but. only af- ter sacrificing half of her air force, three quarters of her battle fleet and at least 250.- 000 troops. Along the beaches and behind them tonight Britain tightened the lines of preparation for the ex- pected assault, particularly the threat of gas. Authorities considered requiring a gas mask as an admission "tic- ket" to bomb shelters and the Min- istry of Home security weighed plans for civilian gas alarm prac- tices to shake Britons buck into consciousness of this menace. In fact. not since the Munich crisis and the actual outbreak of the war has Britain evinced such concern over gas attacks Ill the tense days of Munich 45,000,000 gas masks were issued t:. Britons and when that crisis puss- ed they were pllt back into their 1 cardboard boxes. . After the outbreak of the war, with the late Prime Minister Ne- vlllc Chamberlain ltlnlsclf setting the fashion. Britons wore the gas masks camera fashion on straps over their shoulders. As the first air raids passed without the appearance of gas, they dropped therustoln and now only about one-fifth the popula- tion cirrrles masks.
