YELLOW FEVER PLAGUE

IN MALAYAS.

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.

Two of the worst mosquito- breeding swamps, many square miles in extent, adjoin the £1,000,000 civil acrodrome now nearing completion here. It is understood that the interna- tional airport regulations now being framed insist on the im- munity of aerodromes from mosquitoes, in view of the rapidity with which

who saved the 47th Division at Loos, died this month at his home in Westwood-rond. Barnes, S.W., from the wounds he received in the war. He was Afty- 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.

One of his friends said last month: "He was a very gallant Poldier. He held the right flank of the 17th Division at Loos against determined, counter- attack and secured the position there.

"He also beat off a heavy attack at Vimy Ridge in May 1916. He was twice.recommended for the Victoria Cross, but did not receive It. He was awarded the M.C, and bar."
