TAKING NO CHANCES
MOSCOW PREPARED FOR ATTACKS.
P.A. Gable.
LONDON, Oct. 13.
The Mayor of Moscow made a statement that the city was not taking chances but was preparing for a possible German offensive. The defences are constantly being strengthened and the anti-aircraft defences have been increased. The population in the last six months has increased by 400,000 to 3,200,000. "We are determined that the people shall get warmth and also essential food transport, electricity, gas, hospitals, baths, theatres and cinemas," he said. "Eighty thousand wood-cutters have "been mobilised, ehiefly women, and they are doing wonderfully, but transport is the main problem. We are well supplied with food, which is stored throughout the city to prevent undue loss in air-raids." The Mayor of Moscow told an agency correspondent that Moscow this winter would be warmer than last year. Though the Don Ba^in had been lost, the Moscow coal basin, recently recaptured from the Germans, was already producing up to 30 per cent. more than before the war.
