PEOPLE
A girl of 11: "I was as- tonished to see girls of 13 wearing lipstick and powder, and I don't like it very much. But all the same really think American people very nice and kind."
Another said: "The girls here look like ladies on the outside, but they're really children like us.
"Most people in America wear glasses."
LIGHTS
"America is the most beau- tiful country in the world. It has lights," was the comment of a boy so young that he could hardly remem- ber England before the black- out.
A 15-years-old looked at New York at night, and 'said: "All those millions of lights-' how wasteful! But how mar- vellous to be able to bc яo wasteful!"
FOOD
"They don't have a hearty breakfast in America," suid a 9-years-old boy. "They don't have a hearty anything," said his 12-years-old brother. "Oh yes, their sausages are hear- ty," the younger boy admit- ted.

NAZIS TRY TIT-for-TACTICS
By Air Commodore P. M. Fellowes, D.S.O.
FOR the time being, at
any rate, the R.A.F. has taken the initiative from the Luftwaffe in the 1941 air war.
The Nazis have been reduced-with certain ex- ceptions to copying what we do.
Their tactics at the mo- ment are merely "tit-for- tactics."
:
If we carry out a figh- ter-sweep over the north- cast coast of France they do a fighter-sweep over the south-east corner of England.
If we send night-figh- ters to attack night bomb- ers on landing, they at- tempt retaliations.

children
are seeing it
The "New York Times Magazine" has been studying the reactions of British children evacuated to America "for the duration.” Here are some of the comments the children have made in conversations, in school, and in letters. cereal. At home we don't call it 'cercal anyway—we call it by its proper name."
"I detest hot dogs and I do like ketchup on fish. The thing I find nice about the food is that we have plenty of fruit."
"For dinner in the United States we never have ordin- ary potatoes, but the potatoes are always mashed up, which I am fed up with."
ACCENTS
L
When American people talk it sounds like a banjo playing. They both make a sort of 'twanging' sound.”.

"The American accent is very easy to catch. I find that when. I talk to some one I copy their accent when I answer them.”
"The slang they use here is terrific."
SKYSCRAPERS

j
flashing lights like the shops on Broadway. I expect they don't care to attract so many customers they rake in so much money from just one customer"
"They don't have 'pubs' in America.
"The cars are enormous almost as big as a bus at home."
SPORTS
"American football is more exciting than ours, and base- ball is more fun to play than rounders."
✡
"In England we have, the equivalent of football, which is Rugger. We don't tog up so much and only wear shorts and a shirt."
SCHOOL
"It seems to me American schools are much bigger and much more forward - than ours. Also you won't find so many colleges in England."

If we bomb Berlin, they hit back at London. If we bomb Hamburg, they bomb Glasgow. And so
on.
Only in deliberately bombing the civil popula- tion does the Luftwaffe still maintain a line of its own.
Our policy remains limited to attacks ou the enemy's. means of making war.
In Six Stages
Apart from that, and from the concentration on our ports which supports the U-boat campaign in the Atlantic, the Nazis are now tagging along behind us in both strategy and tactics.
And this means that a sixth stage has been reached in the air war.
In the first phase the Ger mans confined themselves to oversea reconnaissance flights round our consts, with an occasional flight inland.
They varied this by attack- ing our lightships and traw- lers.
We, at the same time, were carrying out leaflet-dropping flights. It was valuable train- ing.
The second phase in the air war was the attempted de-.. fence of Holland, Belgium, France and especially Dun- kirk by the R.A.F. against the German dive-bombing at- tacks.
It was during this time that we began our bombing opera- tions on the Ruhr and the German communications in the rear.
The third phase, still by day-light, was initiated by the Germans when they attacked our aerodromes and southern seaports and communications, and London, in the battle for Britain.
.
We, during this phase, con- centrated on our own defence and at the same time began, by night, to bomb industrial targets and German nero- dromes within Germany and the occupied territory.
Industrial Targets
The fourth phase was again initiated by the Germans when they began attacking our comi- munications and some of our factories by day.
During this time, we still concentrated on attacking enemy industrial targets in Germany and enemy material in the occupied area, mainly by night.
It was at this period the British showed that, the Initiative was swinging over to them...
+
This was in retaliation, probably, for the heavy at tacks we had carried out on Wilhelm- Hamburg, Kiel, shaven, and so on.
During this phase by day, the Atlantic war by air power Was becoming more pro- nounced..
At the same time we, through the R.A.F. Bomber Command, the Coastal Com- mand and the Fleet Air Arm, were devoting more and more attention to attacks on enemy shipping.
While doing this, both coastal and bomber communds ure devoting an important part of their resources to the destruction of surface raiders and submarines at seaporis and construction yards in Ger- many and occupied Europe.
When more great bombers and longer range torpedo craft are available, the life of the returning surface raider will become exceedingly hazar- dous,
And now, as I say, a phase in the war appears to have been reached when the Ger- mans are definitely following whatever we do.
The enemy must realise that our potential bombing power is becoming equiva- lent to theirs.
New Attack Methods
The R.A.F.'s methods of combating the Luftwaffe's various attacks on us are now developing, and appear mainly to be taking the direction of smashing the attack before it leaves the ground,
Obviously, this is the most offensive, and, therefore, the most correct, method as far as material is concerned.
The material is, however, not the most important objec- tive.
We must strike most of all at the trained personnel.
If we can devise some method of destroying the trained men of the active squadrons, and their morale, we can watch the piling up. of German aircraft reserves with complacency.
In this side of the air war we are most advantageously placed.
Our training schools are situated, to a very large ex- tent, in the outer Empire, and therefore out of reach of enerny attack.
The German air schools- i.c., their factories for produc- ing trained bodies are well within our reach, and it is on these schools that we can con- contrate ··our ·
