COVERING THE WAR

tradition,

THE ART of the war corres- pondent has undergone very great changes during the last fifty years. The 'specta- cular heroes of the Richard Harding Davis rough livers, relentless fact- finders, participants in and magnifers of every event they described, are no more. It is not possible, from the field, to "cover" a modern war. This is generally done from the deck hundreds of miles away from any front. As for the correspondents on the battle- lines, their job is exciting and dangerous enough, but their movements and horizon are. perforce, as restricted as those of any cog in the giant war machine of which they are part, and their accounts of the situation come, even when the bombs are falling, from little slips of paper dis- tributed, and "potted" stories told by the press contacts officer at Headquarters.

This amounts to an increase, of 350 beds for the treatment of Tuberculosis in a Colony where the death rate from this terrible disease is nearly 5,000 per year and the total number of effective cases is believed to be in the region of 25.000.

URGENT NEED

"We must be thankful with small beginnings." said a private practi- tioner, when interviewed on the matter. "Eventually I guess WE will have a "sanatorium in Hong- kong, as there is an urgent need for one."

Questioned as to the Govern- ment's Intentions regarding a tuberculosis sonatorium, the Direc-

tor of Medical Services said: "Yes. when funds are available" and drew our representative's attention to the Technical Committees re- commendation.

THE RECOMMENDATIONS The recommendation of the committee' reads as follows:-"We have been very much impressed by the needs of hospital facilities for persons suffering from tubercu losis. We have studied the inci- dence of this disease in Hongkong and regard it as a matter of prime Importance that every possible step should be taken to deal with the

Scourge.

A brillant single-handed action was fought by a Royal Air Force plist five miles high over an RA.F. aerodrome in France this morning, in which one of the latest type of German re- connaissance aeroplanes was shot down and all its crew "were killed.
