In the cities of the Rhine val-

summer, Miss Tllford said ahe -
found a cheerful populace who
scoffed at the Idea of war as car-
ried In the American newspapers,
and later. In Liverpool she saw
the fashionable women of Eng-
land carrying the required gas
masks In unique clcth bags
In Bdlnbig-g, .^ven on the brink
of the war declaration. Miss Ttl-
ford said that people moved un-
afraid In the fape of nightly
blackouts and. the ominous warn-
ing of sand-bagged buildings In
Paris, as In other large cities, the
stained glass windows and the
statues of the beautiful cathe-
drals were removed to more se-
eure quarters, she continued
Traffic accidents, common in
London's traditional foggy wea-
ther. were even more frequent
after the blackout was made
compulsory Mias Tllford pointed
out. and many citizens were ar-
rested at night for allowing
streaks of light to show from
their windows after 7 30 War
seriously hindered the city, nlgfiT
blackout came the closing of all
entertainment spots in the larg-
