Meanwhile, Mr. Chamberlain had sent the Godesberg Demands, complete with map, to the Czechoslovak Government "without comment." Louder than words spoke the simultaneous mobilization in France of some 1,000,000 men. And the British Home Fleet, in the North Sea, fully provisioned for battle. In London the first few anti-air raid trenches were dug in the parks (see p. 17). Everyone was being "measured for gas masks," and hospitals in the London area were warned to expect, during the first three weeks of war, 30,000 casualties...
