AIR RAID SHELTERS
VAULTS UNDER PAVEMENTS INCREASE IN LONDON (Official Wireless) (Received Sept. 26, 11 a.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 25 The city of Westminster has greatly extended the provision of air raid shelters by arranging for the public to have access to vaults under the pavements. Some 4400 such vaults have been prescribed as public shelters and will accommodate between 60,000 and 70,000 persons. There are in addition a number of vaults without direct access from the street and therefore open at present only to occupiers. These also will become public shelters when linked up with the vaults which can be entered from the street. PARTIAL DEMOBILISATION SECURITY OF LITHUANIA (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 26, 11 a.m.) KAUNAS, Sept. 25 Partial demobilisation has been ordered, indicating that direct danger to Lithuanian security has diminished.
