. HITS ON SHIP

They scored two hits on Jap
aneSe supply ship, already so heav-
lily damaged that il was beached,
and sent the smouldering flames in
its hull roaring anew.
The landing jetty was hit and
several buildings blown up.
An anti-aircraft gun battery
which had been blasting at the
Allied planes was silenced, and the
Allied crews got home without
loss.
The two great Japanese bases on
New Britain Island, just to the
northeast of the Huon Gulf bases,
were attacked by heavy bombers.
At Gasmata Allied planes con-
centrated on the landing ground,
At Rabaul, in day and night
attacks against the airdromes, Al
lied bombers scored many direct
hits on the runwayS and shot down
five enemy Zero planes which
attacked them. One Allied plane
was missing.
In these attacks MacArthur's
men were keeping the Japanese
away from the Solomon Island
battle, and at the same time keep
ing on the alert for reinforcements

WITNESSES OUTBREAK


I happened TO have entered the
district in time to witness the
outbreak. The police fired 90
rounds of pistol and rifle bullets
into the throng bat only after they
had failed TO scatter the demon
stratorS with tear and smoke gren-
AIDES and lathis, the native bamboo
switches.
All Shop-frontS in area were
barred with iron rods and all citi-
ZenS, save the screaming rioters,
remained behind locked doors.
The district and several other
danger points in Bombay were de-
clared out-of- bounds for all Euro
peanS including military person.

British police officers and foreign

BUSES. CARS STOPPED
Many buses and private cars
were stopped i'm these districts
and their passengers were pulled
out by the demonstrators and told
TO walk.
The Portuguese driver of my
car was frankly terrified. He
begged tearfully for permission TO
drive through safer districts and
began babbling about his wife and
children.
But we proceeded into the midst
of things and. finally, when boo
ing crowd sent stones crashing
against my chauffeur's new car.

sMoTHERED BY AFFECTION
But when the demonstrators
found from the shoulder tabs Of
our uniforms that Grover and L
were American correspondents.
they almost smothered us with the
most embarrassing affection.
We were almost dragged rather
than led 10 field where a crowd
was ebbing like a human tide be-
fore smoke grenadeS and lathiI
charges. Then we were rushed,
almost carried. to a spot where
an injured man was being taken
into an ambulance.
We became the nucleus of a.
crowd of at least 1000 persons,
all screaming messages to Amer

New Century Club Notes

Mrs. Joseph ]. Pearce gave a
splendid book review before the
members of the Milford New Cen
tury Club on Monday at the regu-
lar weekly meeting. Mrs. Pearce
is chairman of Education for the
club and during the summer, with
her program for the club in view,
selected "The Making of Tomor-
row." by Raoul de Roussy de Sales
as the book. She spent much time
in the preparation of the continuity
of her talk, bringing. out the i'm
portance of the several chapters,
which as the author said, offered
no solution of the present situation
of today, nor tells anything new,
but brings to the human race some
of the fears of the present age into
the open for a diagnosis of the ills,
and suggests treatment for the
same. Nationalism, the trend tow
ard collectivism and the opposition
to war comprised the three big
chapters of the book. with all of
the conjecture about nationalism-
whether it is to be placed by col
lectivism or communism, and the
conditions arising from changes
like these; the feeling of certain
groups that war solves nothing,
and of others that American men
and materials will bring victory
about - these may be seen by no
man, but all lies in the hands of an
all-wise and all-knowing Provi-
dence," said Mrs. Pearce as she
came to the end of her review.
Robert w. Rudolph, of Whining
ton, was the soloist for the after
noon, singing "Calm as the Night"
by Bohn; Nobody Knows de Trub-
BILE Use Seen," and "The Desert
Song" by Romberg. Mrs. Davis R.

The choicest words of a pro-
life. pen and the expressed
thoughts of a poet would
scarcely be adequate enough
to tell of the nobility and the
unselfishness of the life that
was Agnes Martha Stephenson,
r. N. Miss Stephenson fell on
Thursday of last week as she
was making her way to her
position in the Office of a Will
mington physician. She sus-
tained a broken arm and shock
that brought an end to her life
on Sunday. She, with her FAM
lily, lived here during the min
istry of her father, well known
r, X, Stephenson to the Ave-
nue. Methodist Church, and dur
ing that time made friends who
are grieved because of her
passing. Her health was never
the best, but she buried the
feeling of self so deep under
the service she willingly gave
to others, that the cheerful,
happy side of her nature pre-
dominated. Miss Stephenson
shared a home with her step
mother, Mrs. R. X. Stephen
son, and their companionship
and love was a beautiful thing,
appreciated by each for the
other. Surely, she was the per-
sonification of goodness, a
quality that she has passed on
to others by her daily living.
