You`ll have more luck if you step back for a second and notice that they are read right to left. 斯瓦 is wrong - it is 瓦斯. Gas.
A quick and dirty translation.
1 is 都市瓦斯攻撃の惨害 - The ravages of a gas attack on a city.
Second; 都市空襲の脅威 - The threat of an air raid on a city.
油断すると消防隊の力も及ばぬ数千ヶ所の發火（発火） とともに毒ガスが来る。
If we aren`t careful, several thousand fires - far surpassing the abilities of the fire brigade - will come along with poisonous gas.
Third; 燒夷弾の脅威 - The threat of the incendiary bomb (fire bombing).
関東大震災、僅か百ヶ所の火元で帝都は燒野原。敵機一 台でも燒夷弾五千箇。
In the Great Kanto Earthquake, only a hundred original fires were enough to turn the city into a burnt field. One enemy plane can carry 5000 fire bombs.
They`re likely to get people to follow black outs, etc, to avoid being bombed. Not much of what I`d call true "propaganda".
The last is Chinese, so can`t help you there.
