...only was it a bellyful of surprise; it was a shoeful of irritation to the hop-skipping Jap, to whom the total conquest of New Guinea is becoming increasingly difficult. Ever since he landed at Buna on the north shore July 22, he has been trying to get at Port Moresby. His land forces have worn themselves out on New Guinea's sharp-humped backbone. Now a sweep around the seacoast had been wrecked...
...Lourenço Marques, Mozambique, where they filed their first stories of internment under the Japs, 26 U.S. correspondents grimly compared notes with the sassy Jap correspondents returning with tennis racquets and golf clubs from White Sulphur Springs, W.

...question all the passengers, to inspect the 1,600 pieces of luggage. (It had taken six to empty the Drottningholm from Lisbon in July.) Some of the passengers came off in stretchers. J. B. Powell, fiery publisher of the China Weekly Review, had been terribly mutilated by the Jap. Some came off, only to be taken to Ellis Island for further questioning...
