NEWSPAPERS' FORECASTS

Rugby, Sept. 10. The newspapers to-day give a considered opinion as to the reasqns for and the effect of the indiscriminate bombing to which London has been subjected on Sunday and Monday nights. "Nobody who saw yesterday where bombs had fallen on London could believe the Germans tried to confine their aim to military objectives," states the Daily Herald. The Times says: "There is every reason to suppose these attacks will continue nightly for some time and the civil population of London must steel itself to endure a repetition, and perhaps even an intensification, of the ordeals it has already undergone." After drawing attention to the differ-y ence between the British and German raids and the fact that the British objectives have been military targets, the Times says: "The German air force has failed altogether to reveal the precision of the British air force. Their attempts to find their targets in daylight raids have been hurled back with such a devastating loss that those tactics seem to have been very largely suspended. Instead, they have flown over London at such great heights that, whatever their orders or intentions, nothing like a systematic bcmbardment of military targets is attainable."
