--England Grows More Hopeful
--Picture: Somewhere in France the heavy gun shown in action here had sent a shell screaming across the English Channel just as the camera snapped. It is one of the heavy pieces of artillery with which Germans are bombarding the English coast in the Dover area.
--Picture: Notice the querulous expression of the face of this youngster as his mother carries him across the road after their house was damaged by bombs. An air-raid warden assists them. The child seems to be saying to himself. "What is going on around here?"
--Picture: The city of Ramsgate in England is subject to constant air-raid alarms. Its citizens have become accustomed to spending long hours in air-raid shelters. Girls are knitting as they pass the time. Housewives discuss the high cost of living and other home problems. Little boys suck on ice cream cones.
