Meadow mountain. The young man
| bagged his first deer when he was
II years old
/ Minkc reported having already re-
! celVed number OF deer hides from
hunters, to be turned over to the gov
eminent. He said the 1910 kill prob
j ably would have been surpassed this
year but that deputy wardens re-
ported forty percent decrease in the
number of hunters stalking the Gar.
rett county woodlands.
Two men were arrested in charges
of killing does in this county. The
female deer were found in auto.

WASHINGTON - The land de-
tenders of the Philippines braced
themselves Wednesday for q Jap
anese Knockout" assault.
A war department communique
said the Japanese were pouring re-
Inducements into the battle lines

early resumption Of their big Of
fensive aimed at a knockout of
American resistance in the Phil

The savage fighting" Of the
last few days along the Bataan

japanese smashing air bomb
ings of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's lines has lessened APP
probably over night, the COM
munique said.
But q warning was attached
that the 'breather" probably IL

am at a high point in the edge
of a forest overlooking a stra-
tegic thoroughfare.
To my right and to my left are
elements of a gun unit.
On a flank of the guns, the
ground falls away abruptly and
the view is across the wide sweep
OF a river valley.
These guns muzzles stare into
the distance where the enemy
might some time appear.
What IL the range of the guns ::
That Is an army secret.
Over each emplaced gun is a
sheltering csmouflage net, sup
porting green boughs and gar
nished with strips of sodden, gray
burlap that sway in the rainy
breeze.
Throughout the area the T.
|. bell is ringing twice in
measured cadence at intervals
of a few seconds. Ii is the
time indicator.
II plays its part In enabling ar
tillerymen to estimate at what
point in the distance target and
projectile should come together
for a hit.
Some of the men manning these
guns, hardened soldiers ready for
battle now, may have been neigh
bors of ms westerners not 30 many
months ago.
Each. with no less rhythm than
the Ginning T. l. bell, performs
his task as shells come forward,
are showed home, the breach closed
and the trigger pulled.
Along the edge of the bushy
bluff under the cannon muzzles
barbed wire is strung. 1t would
hamper an enemy storming party.
Below the bluff are ma
chine gun nests-.30 calibre

in storm and calm, the weap-
ons are manned.
From the nests. youthful eyes,
weary perhaps Of monotony, but
alert, are trained into the distance
of daylight or the blaekness Of
night
