PAPER!
HERE Y'ARE LATEST EDITION?
CRASH
SIREN IN KHAKI
A young soldier, stationed noar London, is the "awful example" of the war-tima dangers of mimicry.
His imitations of farmyard sounds, express trains and sergeant-majors were the joy of his company.
But success led to his fall; The other day he tried to imitate the "warbling notë” of the air-raid warning signal.
The result was so realistic that it was mistaken for a raid warning.
Troops sprang to action- stations, guns were pointed skywards and a convoy rushed off to guard a neighbouring
town.
Result: The offender is now quietly practising "birds' eventide" in the
at
songs peace of military confinement.

He was C. J. Baerlocher, of Perryn Road, Acton, and the clerk (Mr. Clayton Smith), on behalf of the Ministry of Labour, ex- plained that on reaching 21 Baerlocher would have to choose
which nationality he will adopt.
Baerlocher said he was born
in England and had lived here
all life, except for a year he spent in Switzerland.

Another objector, W. 11. V. Adling- ton. of Scarborough Hoad, E., wrote stating that his father lost a leg in the last war, and his grandfather died from war service.
"My father, like myself, was an fonty son, and we consider we have done our share in the cause of war." he added.
