ready have paid heavily in their
efforts to knock out the Allies Aus
tralian stronghold-only base re-

Enemy ships sunk, according tc
Macarthur and the navy depart
ment, included one aircraft carrier.
a heavy cruiser, a light cruiser, two
destroyers, four gunboats, one trans
port and one supply ship.
A second japanese aircraft car
rier was damaged SO badly that ii
probably is a complete loss. Also
damaged were a heavy Japanese
cruiser. a 9,000-ton seaplane tender
a light cruiser. a cargo vessel and
a transport.
Macarthur reported that the

trieve the bodies of Maj. Gen. Her

Spraying or busting with Bordeau
after each rain helps 10 protect the
leaves from becoming infected by

Planting on well-drained loan or

effects OF mud can sometimes BE-
prevented by putting a single. a

Another cause may be that the
