Bombs From Enemy

From Our Own Correspondent

Noumea, Nov. 26.

AXIS propaganda has been bombing New Caledonia rather heavily.

Not long ago, Radio-Vichy an nounced that the Japanese had bombed several Pacific ports, including Noumea and Canala, in this French island. It seems that there were 18 dead and a number of wounded, and that damage was done to buildings.

Tokio and Berlin added details, includ ing the announcement that Noumea has 100.000 inhabitants!

Of course, all this was pure invention.

Maybe Tokio and Berlin were fishing for information, or maybe it was just a way of hiding their current defeats.

Pilot Officer K. Nicholson, of Fiji, has been promoted to Flying Officer, and is stationed in Ireland.
