Tension Relaxed ! Britain became progressively brighter as rigid precautionary meas ures Imposed at the outbreak of the war gradually were lifted All movie theaters opened toaay but Earl De La Warr, president of the board of education, warned "the time may come when air raids are a grim reality." He warned mothers In a radio broadcast last night not to bring their children back from rural ref ugee "Just because nothing has hap pened during the first few days of the war." Newspapers gave prominence ' to ihe account of the British bombing of German battleships at Kiel as re- lated by ah anonymous -royal air force flight leader. "Let the Germans consider the deed and that there are thousands of young men In Britain envious of their brothers handiwork and eager to show that their own mettle Is not less," the Dally Express com mented. The first eye-witness account of the air raids on Kiel and Wllhelm shaven, Germany, were given yester day through the ministry of tnlor matlon. ' The Wllhelmshaven raid, the leader reported was carried out successfully by three British planes and without a casualty. - Flew Close - "We could see a German warship," he said, "taking on stores from two tenders at her stern. ... "Flying at 100 feet above mast height all three aircraft converged on her. I flew straight ahead. The pilot of the second aircraft came across trom one side, and the third crossed from the other side. "When we flew on top of the bat tleship we could see the orews run ning fast to their stations. We drop ped our bombs. The second pilot, flying behind, saw two hit. We came 'round, and the ship's pompom guns began to fire as we. beaded for home. My navigator saw shells buvstln; almost on the tall of the aircraft. "The second pilot, swooping across, took a photograph which was sub sequently found to be very blurred owing to the weather conditions at the time. Just before he dropped his first bomb." The officer said the pilot of the .third plane told him the second bomber's missile "appeared to drop dead amidships." : Mechanical "Masher ALAMEDA, Cal.

Second-Year Students The pilot-training course will be limited to students who have had at least one year of college work and probably to students who are taxing a regular academic course along .with the aeronautics work, Mr. Woodell said.

The aeronautics course Includes both ground work and flight Instruction. j Until definite word Is received from Washington, college officials will not know how many students may be enrolled for the pilot-training course, though It was understood allotments would be made on the basis of pop ulation, Mr. Woodell related.

The advance In the Slerck region, the communique said, gave the French assured positions after five days of fighting touched off in that sector by a "Oerman offensive move ment." The communique did not disclose the extent of the area concerned in the Slerck sector advance. It had been known the Germans shelled the disputed territory, blasting roads and railway lines between Slerck and Trier. Violence of the combat caused Luxembourg authorities to remove residents from the border region close by although the fighting was said to have been confined strictly to German soli. The French were reported to have fallen back about 600 yards at one point In the battle when heavy artillery poured shells onto their ad vancing lines. Later, however, the French regained the same k round and pushed on for an undisclosed distance. Localised Operations Military observers expressed belief the operations would continue to be localised. The German defenders of Saar bruecken were reported giving ground under steady French encirclement of the city which Germany lost In the world war and regained by plebis cite only four years ago. Although Saarbruecken Is seven miles In front of the main fortifi cations of the Siegfried line, its cap ture would give the French attackers their first big "prestige victory. French military dispatches said the French army commanded height to the west and south of Saarbruecken and other units had slogged through mud between there and Hornbach on the east. (Reports received in Brussels from Luxembourg luUd French forces had occupied the villages of Apach and Malrouhlen. from which two roads lead to Perl, 10 mile from the Saar rhtr)...
