GERMAN PEOPLE SPEND ANOTHER NIGHT IN DUGOUTS

BERLIN

GETS TASTE

OF "NUISANCE" RAIDS

SPECIAL ΤΟ THE "TELEGRAPH"

BERLIN, Aug. 29 (UP).—The air raid siren shrieked at 2.50 o'clock this morning, sending Berlin's three million inhabitants to their dugouts for the third night in succession.

Searchlights piercing the skies and intermittent “flaming orange" flashes con- tinued during the first 14 minutes of the alarm.

The A.A. fire was distant to the north-west and west, however, and only the

faint rumble of the guns reached the centre of the city.

But the intermittent thud of bombs was quite audible and once or twice the drone of planes was heard overhead.

Monarchist sentiment has been growing since the collapse of France and it was freely re- ported some weeks ago that Hitler would offer him the title of King of Brittany.

This province has always been a strong- hold of the French Royalists.

Police Apologise

Their ages and professions varying considerably, 42 persons were arraigned before Mr. Q. A. A. Macfadyen at Kowloon Magis- tracy this morning charged with committing a breach of the Vagrancy Ordinance.

Only two were ordered to be expelled from Hongkong, and they admitted they had neither work, money, nor relatives in the Colony.

Officer's Apology

After 18 persons had been dis- charged, Sergeant Alexander

who prosecuted remarked to Mr. Macfad- yen that it seemed useless to on, The cases had been very bad prepared and he offered his apologies. There was nothing to go against the stories put up, and he would see to it that if in the future, similar cases came up, proper enquiries would be made before the people were put on the charge sheet. There had been no time for enquiries.

Earlier, Mr. Macfadyen had asked for particulars as each case came up, but Sergeant Alexander stated that he had only a sheet of paper with the name and ages of the people concern- ed.

Following Sergeant Alexander's re- marks, those whose cases had not been heard were discharged..

Two Sent To Prison Among the 42 charged were Li Tak, 20, and Li Pat, 30, and an ad- ditional charge separately laid against"| them was breach of the Deportation Ordinance. Both admitted this of-
