Port Moresby, Oct. 1.
THE Administration has informed resi dents that, in the event of emergency arising in Port Moresby as the re sult of war, non-combatants will be re moved inland. An encampment is being prepared at a selected place.
Transport to the encampment will be supplied by the Government, but little else can be provided beyond shelter.
Should a preliminary warning be pos sible, non-combatants intending to make for the encampment should collect beds, bedding, tables, chairs, cooking utensils, etc., also a week’s provisions, and hold them ready for transport.
It is pointed out that there is at pre sent no urgent danger. These are merely part of the general precautions necessary in time of war.
