NEW MOSQUITO PLAGUE: SINGAPORE FEARS

YELLOW FEVER PLAGUE MAIN MALAYA

Threat to £1,000,000 Aerodrome

Singapore, Dec. 28.

A mild outbreak of malaria at Singapore and the presence of myriads of moquitoes capable of carrying yellow fever are giving rise to alarm lest yellow fever 'should make its appearance in Malaya...

Sir Malcolm Watson, director of the Ross Institute of Tropical Hygiene, has declared that if this dread disease once broke out in Malaya there, would soon not be sufficient persons living to bury the dead.

CLERGYMAN HERO OF ZEEBRUGGE

FAMOUS NAVAL CHAPLAIN RETIRES

A clergyman who won the D.S.O., who went unarmed on that historic naval raid on the Molo at Zeebrugge, who steamed up the Dardanelles in the Cornwallis while the Turks popped shells at her, told a correspondent all about it recently.

Two of the worst mosquito- breeding swamps, many square miles in extent, adjoin the £1,000,000 civil aerodrome now nearing completion hero. It is understood that the interna-

"I think the worst part was get- ting down the Indders from the steep aides of the Mole to the Vindictive. How the men did it I don't know. Just courage, faith and determination."

The Cornwallis adventure in the Dardanelles was a different affair. Mr. Peshall speaks light

SOLDIER

MAJOR GUY WILLIAMS, the

man who saved the 47th Division at Lons, died this month at his home in Westwood-road, Barnes, S.W., from the wounds he received in the war. He was fifty-

one years old.

For nineteen years he suffered from partial paralysis due to his wounds.

At Loos he captured guns which are now kept as souvenirs at the Blackheath headquarters of his battalion-the Queen's Own (20th

Battalion) London Regiment.
