IN EVENT OF INVASION
INSTRUCTIONS TO BRITISH PEOPLE OFFICIAL PAMPHLET TO BE ISSUED. ADVICE TO “STAY PUT.” (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, March 15. Church bells will not be rung throughout the country as a general warning of invasion, but will be rung locally as a warning to garrisons that troops have been seen landing from the air in the neighbourhood. These instructions are among many contained in a pamphlet shortly being distributed, accompanied by an important message from Mr. Churchill. The Ministry of Information’s preliminary outline of the pamphlet again emphasises the advice to "stay put”, and leave the roads clear for military movements, and also advises citizens against assuming enemy control of the neighbourhood, because they see an enemy tank or some enemy soldiers, who may have advanced, or stragglers, easily rounded up. It. suggests that they should have a trench ready in a garden or field . for protection if their house is darrtaged in battle. Careful plans have been drawn up to enable newspapers to carry on.
