GERMAN LAMPS
ISSUED BV BRITISH HOME OFFICE FOR AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS EXERCISES. PROTEST AND EXPLANATION. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, April 25. Indignation was aroused when it was discovered that most of the 2000 hurricane lamps issued by the Home Office for air raid precaution exercises in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire bore the words “Made in Germany.” The Air Raid Department later explained that many lamps were wanted at short notice, and for that reason 2000 were requisitioned from the Board of Works, which supplied them from a stock bought in September when all available trade supplies were exhausted and British lamps could not be obtained in sufficient numbers.
