Subsequently the British occupied the island of Madagascar, which is geographically part of Africa and lies athwart the same route. Naw with the occupation of French Somaliland the territory along the entire route is in allied or neutral hands. The result of this strategy was that the flow of supplies was uninterrupted and it is now bearing fruit in the final operations in North Africa. The British eighth army, which drove the axis out of Egypt and is now chasing Rommel’s army out of Libya, was supplied by that route. - The final outcome of allied planning is coming to pass in North The forces of Lieut.

Mad Dog Packs Hunted in East

NEWCITY, N. Y., Dec. 290 (U. P.).—Police with high-powered rifles began hunting dogs today in an effort to stop a rabies epidemic. The hunt extended over most of the county. Most of the dogs they sought to kill were former pets, now running wild in packs and killing deer like wolves. They sought only dogs “at large”’—that is without visible means of support. Twenty or more persons and 50 animals have been bitten by mad dogs recently, and, although many infected animals have been killed, cases of dog bite steadily increased.

Deepen Wedge Despite Enemy’s Naval Shells.

MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, Dec. 29 (U. P.).— The Japanese have lost another cruiser to the allied air force: in New Guinea, and failed in an attempt to shell Gen. Douglas MacArthur's ground forces out of Buna village, it was revealed today. While Liberator bombers of the

A headquarters spokesman said that in the beachhead fighting Sunday night and yesterday, the Japanese suffered “considerable casualties” in their first attempt to meet the allied forces outside prepared positions since the siege began. ja Shelled by Naval Craft

This desperate sally from strong points and pillboxes around the western end of the main Japanese air strip, south of the Buna mission, .came as enemy naval craft— probably submarines—shelled the

Monday. The shelling failed to damage allied installations and the sally was beaten back with the net result that American units deepened the wedge which, at Gairopa point, separates the Japanese forces at the mission and around what the enemy has left of its last air strip. Attacking Rabaul early yesterday for the second day in succession, Consolidated B-24 Liberators found a large cruiser in Kervia bay. After three direct hits with 500-pound bombs, the cruiser was observed burning fiercely and allied pilots belived it was destroyed. Other ships in the harbor were believed damaged. Two 8000-ton merchantmen hit in Sunday's Rabaul raid were seen still burning off Sulphur Point. :
