Possibly that was slight

The circuit judgeship, in short,

To attempt to say who will

Hengyang today as the Japanese

the fight for Hengyang, q strategic

Several American and other for

nervousness also prevails in the lat
ter capital because of a fear that
the Japanese, II successful In taking

There have been periods when

A few hours before he spoke, the
Germans sent incendiary and ex-

attacks since the new weapon was
put in action. Two fires were
started, but they were quickly ex-
tinguished. Raj night fighters,
guided by powerful searchlights
knocked down q number before they
could do any damage.
Mr.. Morrison contrasted the effect
OF the flying bombs with the Ger
