Last week the British seemed to know too much. They knew that hundreds of self-propelled barges, speedboats and other light craft had been concentrated in Stavanger, Bergen, Antwerp, Ostend, Flushing, Dunkirk, Dieppe, Calais, Boulogne, Brest and all the way down to the Bay of Biscay. That big convoys of merchant supply and transport ships had been port-hopping into the Channel under cover of dark and big guns. That a nest of these big guns festered at Cap Gris Nez, where the Channel is narrowest. That behind the vessels and guns thousands of troops were being moved...

The Guardian took comfort in the belief that the harbors at Boulogne, Calais, Zeebrugge and the Hook of Holland are so clogged with...

...Savitsch went from Antwerp to the Belgian Congo to collect data on sleeping sickness. Except for their strong smell, said he, Congo natives made ideal patients. They endured pain "without a murmur," were "obedient," had "a strange resistance to post-operative infection even in the absence of ... ordinary sanitary precautions," were delighted with any operative results, no matter how gruesome. A man with a balloon-like tumor of the upper jaw had a large wedge of bone cut out. He called for a mirror and "spent most of the day admiring himself...
