With five cases reported on Thursday, the aggregate of cholera cases this year has now reached the high figure of 301. Although the epidemic has been prevented from assuming "more" dangerous proportions, due to the foresight and vigilance of health authorities, residents are reminded that they must exert every care and caution regarding the cleanliness of their food and utensils and refrain from eating uncooked food or peeled fruits, and drinking milk or water which has not been bolled.

At 8,55 twenty-one ́planes" made "their" àypeär- ance "over Tungkawan. -When they reached: Fahsien, they divided into two groups of 10 and 11 machines cach. The group of 10 proceeded to Kuntien on 'the Canton-Hankow Railway, where they dropped-more than 10 bombs and the group of 11 bombed Ngan- channgau and Yuentam on the same line,
