Vichy Exonerates Sedan Commander

The London Bobby is a front-line soldier of the air warfare on the Em- pire's Capital:

His familiar high hel- met is replaced by a flat steel shrapnel hat with the white-painted word "POLICE" and a khaki gas mask hangs on his chest.

He still commands the diminished traffic in his customary dignified way -six feet something of impressive blue-clad stoli- dity-finds time to direct bewildered foreigners and tell small boys the time.

War has provided a host of new problems for London's famed Scotland Yard, Sir Philip Game, Commissioner of Metro- politan Police, began put- ting his force on a basis for possible war almost as soon, as he had finished with the problems set by King George's Coronation in 1937:

New Bomber

The most powerful plane to be found in any air force in the world, the new Short-Stirling bomber, has been in active use against German cities of late.

It has four engines, high speed and strong defensive armaments. It was produced in great secrecy in British aircraft factories and it is destined to play a big part in the air offen- sive against Germany and the German-occupied parts of Eu-

With the declaration of war many young offenders taken to the country and the criminal element took time to adopt itself to new conditions caused by a total black-out of the city.

thefts have dropped sharply but bicycle have risen. This probably is attributable to the difficulties of obtaining gasoline-now strictly rationed-as much as to the fact that police reguin- tions now require every driver to lock or disable his car each time he leaves it in the street.. This order, which was directed against the Germans when invasion was feared, has proved equally discouraging to the automobile thief.

Traffic offences have fallen, too, because there are fewer cars on the streets. "But much of the time which the courts used to devote to automobile accidents now is employed in finding out who left the light
