Japs, of course, ore trying to

aula to tho great naval base of
Singapore, the fall of which
presumably would deliver Into
their hondi tho great wealth of
the Dutch Kasl Indlea which
Singapore guards. Japan needs
the resources of tho Indies bad
ly. Fear that American naval and
air aid may bo rushed to the
aid of tho Rrltlsh undoubtedly
is spurring tho Japanese to
nuke a supremo effort In which,
according to tho British, they
are fighting like fanatics. Tho
situation l.i aerloua for Britain,
but It should be remembered
Hint the Japanese have to fight
their way 400 miles down the
prnlnsuln before they come op
posite the great Island which
houses Singapore. TJiia world
famous naval bnso isn't totter
ing yet by any means.
So far as concern tho defense
of tho Philippines, tho latest
word continues good. An Amer
ican communique soya that Iho
situation on tho ground remains
unchanged, and - late army
report announces tho destruc
tion of at least 28 Jap planes
on tha weat coast of Luzon.
Thnt victory is of greot Impor
tance because It Indicates that
wo still retain control of the air
over the strategic Island of Lu
zon. Tho Japs need air supre
mocy to effect a conquest of the
Philippines.

British Know All
About Blackouts;
They're Permanent
(Editor's Note In the follow
ing dispatch Ilnrry Flory de
scribes the British blackout and
other nlr raid precautions in
tho light of what Is going on
now in the United States.
As Europeun news mnnager
of tho United Press Flory spent
the first 10 months of the war
In London and thus experienced
moro than 430 nights of com
plete dawn-to-dusk blackouts
and dozens of heavy air raids.)
By HARRY FLORY
(United Prese European Newa
Manager)
British blackouts are com
plete, permanent.
Evei since Thursday night,
Aug. 31, 10:iB tho day before
German troops marched Into
Polund Britain has been com
pletely blacked out nightly from
30 minutes after sunset until
30 minutes before sunrise.
That means thnt during those
periods no light visible to an
enemy airplane pilot overhend
may bo shown. Offenders aro
prosecuted, fined, even Im
prisoned. Slowor Tempo
In Britain thero la no such
thing as waiting for reports of
enemy planes and then sudden
ly turning off or blacking out
all lights whllo tho streets aro
full of people. That would lead
to confusion and accident.
Tho theory of the British blnck
out Is that no light should ever
show at any time. Thus, tho
streets aro never full of peo
ple after dark. The pcoplo
havo formed the hnbit of get
ting off the streets before sun
down. Yet life, work and some pleas
ure proceed as usual, but at a
slower tempo.
Every palace, every hotel,
every office building and fact
ory. If ever used after dark,
Is equipped with special blnck
out curtains, drapes, dark
shades, or wooden framed In
sets to prevent even a crack
of light showing outside the
building.
Responsibility for blacking
out rests with Individual ten
ants. They must provide their
own blackout materials, see
that they ore In place every
night 'ul dusk, never removed
until dawn. Muny a sleepy cit
izen of London has been prose
cuted for following his peocc-
tlmc hubit of opening bis bed
room curtains and raising his
bedroom window with his bed
side light still burning. To con
form to blackout regulations he
must first extinguish his bed
room light, then grope his way
to the window.
Vehicle Restrictions
Automobiles and buses must
bo equipped to show barely suf
flclcnt light for driving pur
poses. One headlight may be
used, screened by an officially
designed hood so that only a
dull beam of light reflects
downward and not more than a
few feet ahead of the vehicle.
Parking lights and tail lights
must bo painted out except
apertures not exceeding the
size of a nickel.
Ordinary street lights have
not shown anywhere in Britain
since Aug. 30, 1938. London
and many other British cities
now have emergency Btrect
lights of very low candlo pow
cr, screened so thot their re
flection Is not cost upward. On
moonless nights when there is
no fog they Indicate the direc
tion in which a street runs.
All curbs are painted white.
So nro street obstructions of
all kinds. Jutting sandbags, the
oases of lamp poles. But even
now burked shins and black
eyes nro common.
All main thoroughfares have
prominent white lines down the
middle, normolly enabling driv
ers to keep to their sido of the
street.
Ordinary flashlights are per
mitted, but they must be
screened by at least two thick

In tho early days of the war
nil lights Inside railroad roaches
were extinguished. Shades on
British trains do not fit tight

were screened to throw the
light downward and prevent
it showing through the crarks
