London Can "Take It"

Neutral Comment
11 (Reuter) - LONDON, Sept. Neutral Press correspondents agree that London can take a far worse bombing and still hold up its head.
Whether or not the German raids have reached their climax, it must not be supposed that in London there la R state of depression or terror, Anys the London correspondeat of the Swedish paper, "Dagens Nyheter."
"The wounded glant bleeds a little but he is far from gravely injured,”
the reports correspondent of the Swedish paper, "Tidnignen," who says that the damage enused to ducks is small compared with their total
aren.
It would take months of bombing on the present scale to destroy the dock area alone, he says.
Using Light Bombs LONDON, Sept. 11 (Reuter)-In their recent raids on London, the Germans have been chiefly using light bombs weighing just over 100 pounds although some of 250 pounds have also been dropped.
A few weighing 1,000 pounds were dropped
in the docks area, but this is mi exception.
The general Impression is that the German planes are dropping the smaller type of bambs, of which they can carry more, in order to cause as much inconvenience and fright as possible to civilians and Industrial workers
BULGARIA'S
NEW FRONTIER Danube To Black Sea LONDON, Sept. 11 (Reuter).

The Bulgarian Commission will be.. gin to take over at the end of this weck.
The Bulgarian authorities estimated that 45,000 Bulgarians will be trans- ferred from northern Dobruja to the south, while about 80,000 Rumanians from southern Dobruja will go to Rumania,
Antonescu's Appeal BUCHAREST, Sept. 11 (Reuter). -An appeal to all Rumanians to support the present dictatorial regime and work calmly and in perfect dis- cipline was made by Rumania's dicta- tor, General Antonescu, to-day.
The regime, he said, "desires to relleva hardships but will not hesitate to deal ruthlessly with any attempt to upset it."
The General warned the country that he would punish severely any movement of an anarchist nature.
A communique issued by the Pre- sident of the Council to-day slotes that measures are taken to effect partial demobilisation of the army and reduce requisitioned articles to a minimum.
