POPULATION SEEKS SHELTER.
By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright. (Received This Day. 12.15 p.m.) BERLIN, July 26. A full dress air raid precautions practice, lasting for four days, in which the city will remain on a war footing, started this afternoon. In response to screaming sirens, thousands took refuge in shelters. With the exception of gas-masked policemen and members of the air raid precautions forces, the city was deserted within eight minutes. Simultaneously, warplanes roared overhead and anti-aircraft guns, mounted on rooftops, opened fire. The city was darkened throughout the night and patrolled by police and military forces.
