Compulsory PEIPING

Evacuation

On South Coast

REUTER'S SPECIAL _Correspondent, re- turning to London after a week in "the Bri- tish front line,” writes that tens of thousands of civilians, chiefly women and children who are still living along the south-east coast; show unbroken spirit after being for four months closer to the enemy than any others in Britain.

Dover, which is the target of occasional shelling, besides bombing, presents as busy and as cheerful an appearance by day as any town in Britain.

The picture shows a highly im-

The text at the bottom reads:

Doubtless pointing to the pic- ture's moral, the text adds that foreign assistance to Chiang Kot- shek is now failing.-Reuter.

The bombing of these coast towns has not been, except in the case of Ramsgate, on the NORWEGIAN scale that London has experienced in the past FORCES five weeks although it has been extended over a longer period.

Populations have admittedly diminished by a big percentage but evacuation, which is not com- pulsory, has never been whole-i sale. Cinemas close earlier than in peace time but remain open after the black-out.
