THE CHINA MAIL, "JUNE 26, 1941.

SECTIONS OF GLASGOW NOW IN RUINS REJECTED

AFTER THINKING, erroneously of course, that Glasgow was to be immune and that the city would not experience a blitz such as Coventry, London and other cities have been called upon to undergo, the city got one of the worst that Hitler's powerful and efficient Air Force could possibly have inflicted upon it. There is no use in minimising or under estimating the extent of the damage sustained for it was serious and the deaths were many, while the losses were colossal.

But as usual what suffered most were not the actual concerns that were engaged in war produc- tion but the homes, houses and personal possessions of the innocent men, women and children. Surely if Nazi airmen, who brutally murdered those inno- cent children, babies in arms, some of them, others

their handiwork, they would for ever hide their heads in shame. What they did was not warfare, it was mass murder done in the most cowardly, brutal way imaginable.

BY WIDOW

--DIED

After falling in love with a widow older than himself with whom he lodged, and joining the Army to forget her, Michael Coakley, 27, of the London Irish Rifles, shot himself while on leave,

At the Romford inquest Mrs. Annie Mallett, of Broad Street, Dagenham, Essex, said Coakley first came to lodge with her when he was a moulder at a motor-car works.

Coakley came to see her when on leave.

"He wanted to marry me and was persistent," Mrs. Mallett said. "I told him to find sorne- one nearer his own age, and that seemed to upset him.

"Ha has been asking me to
