BALBOA. c. T.. Nov. 29-tR-
An American Liberty ship was
torpedoed and sunk. with the loss
of 16 lives, and an American tank
CT sent down with the loss of II
lives in the same general area,
subsequent to the sinking of the
Colombian inter island motor
schooner Ruby, 10Th U. S. Naval
headquarters announced today.
The Ruby was sunk by gunfire
by German submarine, the
statement said, and four members
of the crew were killed. The four
remaining members of the crew
and three passengers, one a six
year-old child, were injured.
CThe Colombian government
last week declared that a state
of belligerency exists with Ger
many as result Of the sinking.)
The sinkings were believed to
be connected with the unexplain-
ed delay of a Panamanian freight
err to arrive in port from the same
waters and which may have been
lost with all hands.
All survivors of the ships have
been landed and given care I'M

around his legs. He managed to free
one leg, but the rope, with knifelike
sharpness cut into the other above

Navy doctors stopped the flow of
blood, injected sedatives to relieve
the pain and had him removed to
base hospital ashore. There his
leg was amputated below the knee.
Later Seaman Minichino was
shipped back to the United States,
along with other wounded service
men. In the naval hospital in
Brooklyn more treatments followed
and finally last June an artificial
leg was fitted.

New lncendiary Bullet
Sets Enemy Planes
AAame on Impact
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Oct. 49,
A new type Of incendiary ammuni-
tion for 50-caliber machine guns is
"the most devastating ever pro-
duced for aerial warfare" the Rem
ington Arms Co., Inc, announced
today.
While composition and details OF
manufacture are a military secret
Gen. H. H. Arnold, commanding the
Army Air Forces, in the current
Army Ordnance, said the develop
ment of the incendiary has estab-
lished the 50-caliber machine gun
as the best weapon to date for
airplanes.
Fires Planes on Impact.
Army and Navy combat gunners

reported that the new bullet causes
enemy planes to burst into flames
upon impact.
They reported that American
flyers recently destroyed a JAP
anese freighter by dropping their
auxiliary gasoline tanks on the ves-
sells deck and raking it with in
cendiaries, causing the ship te
catch fire.
The Remington Co. said the bullet
spreading a sheet of fire on con-
tact, is particularly effective in ex-
ploding the self-sealing gasoline
tanks, igniting the fuel as it passes
through. 1t added that the flames
generated by chemicals in the bullet
burn at blast furnace temperatures
and that only the thickest armor
too heavy for aircraft, will resist it.

Marines Discover Australia
Is Pretty Much Like Home

What has been a little confusing
is the use of the word tea" Morn
ing tea 90 or II ann and afternoon
tea g to PM are plain enough
But the marine may be invited to
tea and yet be completely in the
dark as to what time he should pre-
sent himself. Tea is what Ameri-
cans call supper (of course, unless
dinner is meantD and supper is what
Australians call refreshments served
during the evening
Table manners seem peculiar to
Americans. Aussies use their knives
to load their forks and cannot
fathom the American system of
using the fork only.
Australians consider some words
not regarded as bad in the United
States as unmentionable.
Tips to mattresses, porters and
other servants practically are un-
known.
The milk bar is the equivalent of
the American soda fountain; the
chemists shop is the drugstore and
drugs only are sold. A tobacconists'
shop is where the novelties of United
States drugstores can be bought.
Bars Close at 6 pm.
The pubs are open daily until
pm, excepting Sunday which is
day OF rest and seriously adhered
to as such. Blue laws keep motion
pictures and other forms of enter
tainment out of operation on Sum
day.
Australians like Americans. frank
ly and openly. They invariably will
befriend the lonely Yank, invite him
to their homes or do anything in
the world for him.
The American Red Cross is we'll
established. American cooking is
featured on its menus which keeps
the ARC dining room we'll patron
lied by forest-green uniforms at
all times. Prices generally are
lower than in the United States.
OF course, marines are paid in
Australian currency and very
quickly catch on to the value of the
shilling and pound and gaze now
with peculiar interest at rare
piece of American money.
Yanks find Australian houses
cold, since central heating is prac-
tically unknown, but most rooms
are equipped with fireplaces.
Like Horse Racing.
Australians are race-horse, or
steeplechase addicts as much as
some Americans are. The result of
the latest race, or the odds on a
favorite jumper are the principle
topics of conversation in the trans
and on the street corners during the
racing season.
Cigarettes are rationed to marines
here at rate of two packages per
day. Liberal distribution of these
treasures is the surest way to an
Australians heart, since he is an
lnveterate smoker and much more
fond of our cigarettes than of the
local variety.
Marines like Australia. Some de-
clare they will come here to live
after the war. Some are marrying
Australian girls.
Mail service from the United
States to Australia is fairly good,
considering the distance, and V-mail
has proven wonderful accelerator.
Globe-trotting marines regard the
continent down under" as a second
nome; 1t Is fast becoming just that.

Seaman First Glass James Vincent
Minichino, %, lost leg in landing
operation off the North African
coast last November, and now, 10
months later, he hopes to return
soon to limited duty.
His case serves to illustrate the
miraculous results of the repair
work on the war wounded by Army
and Navy medical men and ortho-
pedic surgeons, coupled with the
exceptional disqualification.
AS case records of the war dis
abled 60, Seaman Minichino's injury
has none of the sensational ele-
ments that surround man knocked
out in combat. The loss of his leg
was due to an accident, not an en-
emy shell, though 1t was suffered
under fire.
Seaman Minichino, a native of
Brooklyn, N. Y, enlisted in the Navy
on December II, 1941, just four days
after the japanese surprise raid on
Pearl Harbor. The start of the North
African operation found him on a
destroyer, maneuvering in the Med
iterranean, ready for any emer-
gency.

Suddenly there came a call for aid
on the beach near Saf1. Seaman
Minichino was detailed to join a
