Measures for safeguarding civilian populations against the offects of air attacks have be- come a necessary part of the defensive organisation of any country which is open to air attack. The need for them is not related to any belief that war is imminent. It arises from the fact that the risk of attack from the air, however remote it may be, is a risk that cannot be ignored. In commencing this series of articles, which will be published daily as from to-day, the "Telograph” believes that it is meeting a demand that can only otherwise be fulfilled by the purchase of expensive books, some of which are not obtainable in the Colony.
