WEST END DARKENED
LONDON PRECAUTIONS IHJSES COM MANDEERED (Reed. August 25, 11 a.m.) LONDON. August 24. Hundreds of Londoners had difficulty in getting home last night, because of the large numbers of buses held at depots at the request of the War Office.
The West End was sinisterly dark. The departmental stores in the fashionable Regent and Oxford streets extinguished lights. City allnight restaurants transferred business to the basements. Shopkeepers and householders were instructed to make arrangements to mask lights.
