CHINESE REGAIN NAMOA

Canton, July 13. The Kwangtung Provincial -Gov- ernment claims that Chinese troops recaptured Nomoa Island on Mon- day.

It is stated that guerilin troops landed under cover of darkness and regained the greater part of the is Jand. They captured tho head of the puppet administration, the

police chlet and several puppet oficials, all of whom were shot. Fighting all going on in one section of the island.

is

A significant feature is that the Japanese garrison of Namoa WOR withdrawn some days ago, presum- nbly to Hainan.

A

Querled as to whether Namoa was in Chinese or Japanese hands, Chinese spokesman replied that it was impossible to give definite and latest information on the operations. He pointed out that the Chinese in- vaders were not regulars but guerillas, from whom there was little communication with Canton.- United Press.

Central News gives the following version of the attack:

Many Japanese troops were killed and I traitors captured by Chinese scif-preservation corps who staged a surprise attacle оп Namoa Island from the mainland in a number of steam launches on the night of July 11.

Under a lazy moon, the Chinese militiamen took the handful of Ja- panese sentinels on guard at the isinnd completely by surprise. In the confused fighting, many of the lalter were killed and wounded.

At the same time, a search was conducted by the Chinese preserva- tion corps for traitors. The head of the so-called Publie Safety Bureau was captured allve together with many of his lieutenants.

The raid lasted from the night of July 11 till dawn the next day when attackers departed, taking with them large numbers of rifles and other military equipment seized as booty. The trailors captured have been escorted here

for trial-Central

Bourn - vitality

WHAT IS IT? Bourn-vitality is a state in which a person's body, mind and nerves are strengthened to resist undue fatigue.

HOW DOES IT ACT ? Bourn-vitality produces abundant energy arising from sound sleep and properly digested nourishment. The energy thus gene- rated is normally maintained throughout the day, and is accompanied by an agreeable feeling of cheerfulness.

HOW DOES ONE GET IT? Bourn-vitality is acquired and kept going by the action of taking a glass or cup of Cadbury's Bournvita every night before going to bed. In this product are the combined virtues of eggs, malt, milk and chocolate, the splendid nourishment of which is presented in a tempting and highly digestible form.
