King Kerture rate, the
Apology To A Climate
When our gallant English weather
Keeps the bombing plane at bay, Aren't you sorry altogether
For the things you used to say? Fog we cursed with cough and weeping.
Ice we called "the plumber's mate," Dear old pals, who now are heaping
Coals of fire upon our pate. Come cach kindly gale, and hurry; Let qur climate play its part- Merry fog, that clears our worry,
And the frost that warms the heart.
L. B. W.
WE SEE THE JOKE
A Londoner going home the other night found a bomb dropped by a Ger- man airman lying unex- ploded in his flat.
He promptly carried it out. A policeman found him staggering down the street with it in his arms --it was so heavy that he had dropped it once-and with that sense of the due dignity of things possess- ed by policemen of all na- tions, arrested him.
A bureaucratic minded magistrate, before whom he was brought, fined the man £100 for his bravery -with-the-alternative-that
if he did not pay the fine he could go to prison for three months.
The man very properly refuses to pay the fine. And it is not likely that he will go to prison for the sentence has provoked a national outery.
But whether he goes or not, he has at least given the world some idea of what Londoners think of bombs.
Now I do not want to under-estimate the air Blitzkrieg. It has been a very horrible and terrify- ing experience. But it has been far from being un-
·endurable and the way in which Londoners have beaten its terror by ad- justing their lives to it, has been among the out- standing episodes of hero- ism in world history.
The first week of it was the worst of all, All the worst of the damage seemed to have been done in that week. The bombs tore very great gaps in famous streets of the City and the West End. They scared and scared the suburbs and the death roli was heavy, although only a tiny fraction of what we had prepared for.
Sinco that first week Lon- . don has not had one night completely free from the bom- bers. Yet in that time tremendous transformation has taken place. The raids no longer seem like the crack- of doom, and the nightly casualty liat in the London aren has shrunk to a size that would really not put any seri- ous pressure on the ordinary

weather, but the Italians are very inferior, Against our Hurricanes and Spitfires they stand no earthly chance. Recently, 80 of them tried a very spectacular daylight dash on London and were simply shot out of the skies. They could not drop a single bomb on England. The Germans were never as bad us that. Obviously the Germans them- selves do not rate the Italians very high and I fear the Ita-' lians will soon get tired of being used as practice targets for the R.A.F.
We shall miss them when they stop coming. They do no harm and they make an air raid quite an agreeable entertainment.
We are all hoping that one day we shall have among our visitors Count Clano and. Mussolini's two famous air- men sons who bombed de- fenceless Abyssinians with such heroism. But perhaps they are content
to rest on their Ethiopian laurels. Some- how we fear they will fight shy of crossing the Channel.

casualty department of any one of our great hospitals.
The lesson we have learned is this. If you take the cle- mentary precaution of taking reasonable shelter, bombs do not harm you.
*
At first Londoners could not sleep. That is the greatest ordeal of a night air raid un- til you become user 'to it. Now most of them sleep the night through comfortably in shelters many even in their beds in spite of the noise of our guns, which is for more intense and a far more alarm- ing sound than either the drone of a bomber
or the whine of a falling bomb,
In the first days of air raid- ing, the whole population took shelter immediately the alarm sounded. Now in daylight women continue their shop- ping and mea go on with their work unperturbed. Transport is running almost normally. The civil defence arrange- ments' are so efficient that there has been no extensive failure of any public service. Our food, our letters and our
newspapers come just as they have always done. Husbands go to work as usual and come home again at night, if not always with the same comfort and ease, at least with nearly the same regu- Jarity.
All this must be a great blow to Hitler and Goering. They do not try now quite no hard as they used to. Their bombers still come regularly, but most days and nights the effort is not what it was. There is a perceptible slacken- ing,
Why that should be so we have not yet decided, but we are rapidly coming to the opinion that there are pro- bably two reasons for it:
(1) Hitler Is giving us up as a hopeless job and turning his strength to the near East to retrieve his` waning fortunes.
The Nazi Air Force has had such a hammering that It cannot stand the pacel
There are indications that
the second reason may prove

The great raid on Munich, and the spoiling of Hitler's Beer collar speech, has been our greatest joke since the war began. It made the whole nation roar with laughter, and when the British laugh in a war, they are fur more dangerous than when they are grim. We have renched the laughing stage
after
many anxious
now
over
months.
Hitler promised his nation that the Battle of Britain would be
before the winter began. It was his one true prophecy. The Battle of Britain although not ended is practically over. But the end has not been quite what Hitler planned.
One thing concerning the bomb damage strikes every visitor to London. It is the way in which German airmen, obviously acting under orders, dead set. nt have made a churches, convents and Royal Pulaces. So many of them have been hit that the Blitz- krieg has almost taken on the appearance of an anti-God crusade.
no more
That of course wins a war than the slaughter of helpless little children and their mothers in suburban streets far from any military objectives. Actually it may be the deciding factor in the extent of the final punishment awaiting Hitler. For it has roused the temper of every Briton to a height that it can never before have reached in our history. There will be no forgiving and forgetting this time.
