BRITAIN DRILLS FOR EMERGENCY
RUSH EXPANSION OF AIR FORCES
PREPARING POPULATION AGAINST ATTACKS
(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messayca Ordinance, 1894. Received, May 10,1 p.)
London, May 9.
Great Britain is rushing construction of aircraft ordered to bring her fighting forces up to a level with those of Germany and at the same time is taking extraordinary precautions in the matter of preparing the public for a possible emergency arising out of attack by an air fleet.
The Government has instructed all aircraft manu-

to hurry their orders at full pressure. They have been requested, also, to inform the Air Ministry of any foreign or civil orders they propose to undertake, before committing themselves.
A nation-wide scheme for making the people of the British Isles conscious of the danger from air raids by an enemy war fleet, as part of a comprehen- sive plan for the protection of the population in the event of another conflagration in Europe, is under- stood to be in process of preparation.
The basis of the plan will bag two-fold. In the fret place, it is falt that night camouflaging can be mudo much more afficient if the elvilian population is properly drilled to ita possibilities. Secondly, the greatest importance is attached to the psychological effect of an air raid upon a popu- lation and it is held that measurea must be taken to accustom the peo- ple to the necessary precautiona and to inculcate to the requisite degree popular mass discipline.
The scheme will be entirely directed by Government Depart- menta_working-through-the-local- authorities. It a gathered that less importance will be attached to the proviston of underground shelter than to mass rehearsals and compulsory mass drills.

Washington, May 9. Fear that the abandonment by the United States of its role of guardian of the Philippine Islands might bring Great Britain and Japan face to face in that section of the Pacific, and thus disturb the whole Far Eastern situation, was expressed by Senator Ernest W. Gibson, of Vermont, to-day, when presenting to the Senate with an individual report on conditions in the East.
This is the second report of individual members of the Tydings Investigation Committee which visited the Philippine Island last winter.
Senator Gibson strongly recommended that the

In the event of the final and com- plote withdrawal of the United States, Senator Gibson warned, Great Britain would be faced with a dolicate problem. She would not, in Senator Gibson's ballef, auffor any other, nation than the United States to be left undisturb- ed or unchallenged in a position from which it could block Empire trade routes. Great Britain would never tolerate the endangering of her free passage to Australia from her many points of interest on the Far East.
