Another time, Duke and I were within 15 yards of Japs and they didn't know it. . “About Jan. 15 at Cape Gloucester, Duke and I were with a patrol getting information on Jap activity. We reached a river bank and saw tracks. Duke alerted and I spotted a large number of Japs. . “They were only 50 feet away from us in the jungle, and too large a group for us to tackle.

Morton, Hillingdon county hospital, Middlesex, in the Lancet, medical journal here. : In a study of 1257 cases of abdominal operation, Dr. Morton grouped patients into three categories: 1. Smokers (those who took more than 10 cigarets or one-half ounce of tobacco daily); 2. Light smokers, and 3, Non-smokers, “Smoking seems definitely to increase the risk of complication causing constitutional disturbance,” Dr.
