City WWH l fi If Conditions In war-time Bri tain were vividly described in a letter written by Dr. Irvln Evans of Ferensway House, Hull, Eng land, nephew of Mrs. Eva Evans Anderson of 1501 West Main street. The doctor wrote the letter to Mrs. Anderson's brother. M. O. Evans of Los Angeles, and he forwarded a copy to Mrs: Ander son. Dr. Evans, a son of Mrs. Anderson's oldest brother, the late Frank Evans, studied medi cine in Germany and under stands the German language so that he can listen in on the Nail radio broadcasting. His letter, written July 26, follows: "I'm afraid that the news papers and potential possibilities of things make you think that we are having a rough time of it. Actually life goes on about the same as usual. The shops are well stocked and except for the multitude of soldiers and sailors on the streets and the air raid shelters you would not know there was a war on. No Accuracy "Of course the air raid pre cautions are a nuisance but we are used to them now. If you could imagine Los Angeles pitch dark at night without a single light showing you might have some idea of a black-out. It is wierd at first but now we think nothing about it. It is a business fixing the curtains so that no light shows outside. You are fined if the least light shows. Now we are all busy putting stuff on windows to keep them from flying to bits with concus sion. Some paint them with a cellulose stuff, others use strips of adhesive tape. Motorcars must have their bumpers and running j boards painted white, the rear ! light toned down and special j mask fitted to the head lamp. Every time you stop the car you must lock all the doors. If you cannot do that you must remove the distributor rotor arm. "If you neglect these precau tions, the police deflate the tires. "At no place where the Ger mans have bombed England have they shown any degree of accuracy at all. Most of their bombs have fallen on waste ground and by far what damage has been done has been on pri vate dwellings. I "Night before last four bombs were dropped here, one of which Ll. - . . ' - U ,4 '-11 , . . . Hit LWUClIb S IIUUK. 11 JU9I i as the alarm went and she was getting 'into bed. The house was completely shattered but no one was hurt. The bomber was ap parently aiming for the water works but they were a quarter of a mile away. "I was talking with a friend who goes all over England on special business and sees much of what is going on in the way of war effort and he says it is almost breath-taking the huge ness of the new factories which I are going up ana many aireaay in production. Of course they are well tucked away but he says it is a most heartening sight. He was through the last I war, to he has experience to draw on and it not in the least down-hearted. British Confident "No one seems to have any idea at to what will happen next. We are all confident, how-1 ever, that things are working our way. The forces of evil eventually prove their own un doing and he (Hitler) will be no exception. That, of course, may be wishful thinking but in any case, we are all going out to pre pare plenty of such forces of evil as we can think up for hit enter tainment. "You have no doubt read of the continuous raids of the royal air force on Germany and Ger man bases. It is because of this that invasion has been impossi ble as he had planned. The de struction we have caused on his shipping and oil bases and fac tories of all kinds is terrific and we are keeping it up. We are all deeply conscious that this is possible only through the gener ous and whole-hearted help from the States. "Yesterday the admiralty an nounced the loss of five small craft totaling 3.000 tons. This same incident was reported on the German radio at a major British disaster with a loss of 40.000 tons and another 20.000 badly damaged. As you know, I listen to the German side-show barking and the bilge they pour out is terrific. How their own people can stomach it is beyond comprehension. But they do. Airmen we capture are para lyzed with fear at first that we will cut their throats, etc., and when they find us human and sympathetic they can hardly be lieve it. By the way most of those captured are mere youths of 17 and 18." Lumbar Business Cains Portland, Ore.. Aug. 23.
