MASS EVACUATION
FROM AREAS THREATENED BY AIR RAIDS. 250,000 REPORTED KILLED IN BERLIN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.35 a.m.) LONDON, December 7. Evacuation from areas threatened by air raids has surpassed any mass migrations so far in history, stated Dr. Albert Ganzenmueller, Secretary of State for Transport. Quoted by the Berlin radio, he foreshadowed a still further vast increase in railway passenger traffic to result •from the evacuation of cities. He added: “Occasional restrictions in passenger traffic are due to excessive traffic rather than to a breakdown of traffic facilities.” According to the “Gazette de Lausanne,” 250,000 persons have been killed in raids on Berlin, and it is impossible to estimate the number injured. Travellers from Berlin relate terrible details of the effect of phosphorus bombs.
