The mass evacuation of German children into the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia continues. About two million children have already been billeted in Czech towns. Special post offices have been established to handle correspondence between the children and their parents.
The German authorities are taking all possible steps to prevent the Czechs from finding whence children have been evacuated. This exodus is attributed to a German belief that intensified air warfare is impending. Remarks and hints contained in letters from Czech workmen in Germany point in the same direction. These workers mention particularly that they had been given gas masks.
Censors who destroy large numbers of letters from Czech workmen, recently prohibited the Czech press from publishing reports of increasing foodstuff shortages in Britain, nor may the press mention increasing prices or a fodder shortage in Britain, It is evident that the German press controllers at last realize that, reports of British shortages make the Czechs laugh because these shortages are nothing compared with the priv: tions forced upon the Czechs.
