AIR RAID RISKS.
Lord Montague, of Beaulieu, iff order as he says, to reassure the public 'of London, "some of whom have naturally been made somewhat nc-rvous"—(much virtue in your "some")—"as the result of much noise of guns and bombs," sends to the iDaily Mail the following figures, which (he says) show the real chances of danger:— Population attacked: 7,500,000. Area attacked: 700 square miles. Number of raids: 5. Numbers killed: 43. Wounded: 231. In all five raids:— Chance against being ki11ed—32,407 to Chance against being wounded—B7,ooo to I. Lord Montague adds:— In the first nine moifths of 1917 487 were killed and 14,104 wounded in traffic casualties in tho streets of Loridon. London traffic is therefore more dangerous than German bombs.
