that the bomber's powers have

Malta has been through about

shooting started in the Mediter-

alerts we're false alarms.
Two thousand, taking that as

days" for sport, and to supplement
rationed table with game.
License dealers throughout the
state say that the news of the re.
lease of the shells will make a big
difference in the number of hunt
ing licenses sold. They expect big
