BOYS RAIDED
AUSTRALIA AND THE
AMMUNITION DUMP FAR EAST
WHILE A BOY attracted the attention of a sentry, another crept through undergrowth to an
anmunition dump. Later this boy, with the help
of two other lads, stole Mills bombs, shells and anti- tank mines.
Thirty-four Mills bombs were missed from the dump. Some of these the boys threw into a river to kill fish and two were found in the bedroom of an evacuee who has now gone back to London.
The story was told at Exeter Juvenile Court when two sixteen- year-old lads and Li boy aged fourteen admitted that they had stolen war material, a telescope and a telephone.
The Acting Chief Constable, Mr. A. E. Rowsell, said the boys had detonated the Mills bombs. They threw them about, causing explo- sions.

and the next, and the next," said Mr. Spender. "We have to re- cognise that although the sharp and decisive economic preliminary action taken jointly by the Bri- tish Government and the United States apparently has surprised Japan there are not lacking in- dications that she is contemplat- ing going even further in the course she has set herself. We must continue our preparations in that light. Already we are being told of Japan's necessity to protect Thailand. Protect her from whom? Not from Britain.
"The Thal Government has stated repeatedly that it has no fear of Britain, Let me say with the utmost clarity that Britain has no designs of any kind upon Indo-China or upon Thailand
"Ws should welcome a similar statement, borne out by com- parable actions, from Japan. In these circumstances any talk by Japan of protection therefore could be only a cynical pretext for un- blushing aggression against_weak and friendly neighbours.
"It is natural," added: Mr. Spen- der, "that Australian eyes turning in these anxious days to our near north should be filled with the glow of the determination that, come what may, we shall, if necessary, give ringing proof that we mean to keep control of our own destiny, in our own and, no other new order.”....
Referring optimistically to the progress of the war in Russia, Mr. Spender said that it was within the bounds of military possibility that Germany... would suffer at Smolensk or further east the kind. of check she suffered in 1914 át, the Marne
