Then, ignoring the cold, he silently removed his overcoat, doffed his hat, and climbed slowly up the stone stairs to worship.
"Unknown Soldier," he whispered, "I trust you know who is this Oriental offering a prayer at your tomb. Twenty years have passed since you were sacrificed on a European battlefield.

Japanese Too Impatient
HEAVY DAMAGE TO CIVILIAN PROPERTY IN MALTA
There was consider- able damage to civi- lion property and some people were kill- ed in Wednesday night's raid on Malta, which was carried out by a smaller forma- tion of enemy 'planes than usual.
Bombs were dropped but no Naval or R.A.F. property was damag- ed and there were no Service casualties, states an official com- munique.--Reuter.
