anese losses are five aircraft

American submarines are said
to have accounted for four Of

marines defending Wake island

submarine. American bombers
sank one OF the two lost jap

in the sinking of the other.
As against Japsn's starting

In spite of the fact that there
are many shell shock cases from
the last war In our military and

ognized treatment for this ter
rible sffliction. think it would
be an excellent idea If some
organization or individual would
