SIREN IN KHAKI

A young soldier, stationed near London, is the "awful example" of the war-timo dangers of mimicry.

His imitations of farmyard Bounds, express trains and sergeant-majors were the joy of his company.

But success led to his fall. The other day he tried to imitate the "warbling noto" of the air-raid warning signal.

The result was so realistic that it was mistaken for a raid warning.

Troops sprang to action- stations, guns were pointed skywards and a convoy rushed off to guard a neighbouring

town.

Result: The offender is now quietly practising "birds' songs at

eventide" in the peace of military confinement.
