London, Aug. 31.

High buttresses

of sandbags are rising against hospitals, offices, and flat buildings throughout London.

The Home Office has already issued 370,000,000 bags to local authorities. In addition, 60,000,000, which have been ordered by the Government, are being unloaded at ports or are on the way to England in ships.

"Posters attacking the Nazi regime were displayed at Aix-la-Chapelle, Gladbach (Munchen), and Duren. In- cidents and demonstrations

are also reported from Krefeld (Crefeld), Cologne (Koln), and Dusseldorf.

"Every shop window through- out Germany

has been emptied by an invisible vacuum cleaner, states

"It is impossible to buy soap, socks, shoes, or underclothes. While house- wives go with the new ration cards and secure a few grammes of rationed commodities, other members of fami- lies have been collecting all available cash, and descending on clothing stores and bicycle shops in search of articles not affected by the rationing.

One hundred and ten mechanical excavators are working from morning story that Britain is backing down. to night, digging sand and soil with which to fill the bags.

Holiday-makers at seaside resorts near London watch while lorries un- endingly load and cart sand.

Children are helping to all bags from children's sand pits in the poor- er London districts.

Volunteer students and other youths, clad in football togs, are filling bags to stack round hospitals.

Bags are being stacked round fire alarms, leaving only the dial visible. These points are being used to form A.R.P. centres.

Public baths are being sand-bagged and converted into first-aid stations, In addition to the sandbags which the Government has issued, private firms and the Army are using millions. Anti-aircraft posts in parks are being sand-bagged.

The price of sand has risen from 7/ to 10/ a ton, bags were 2 in June, and from 4d to 5d to-day, but the price is not likely to soar as was the case last September, whom the price reached 11d, although the closing of the Mediterranean route must make jute dearer.

GLASS OFFICE PROBLEM Sandbags are just making their first appearance in Fleet Street, where they are being piled against the office of the "Liverpool Post."
