They had stood and fought, then retreated to stand and fight again, | but while they tried to be obliging and tell of Bataan's last hours, they wanted only one thing now—sleep. Gripped by this desire to sleep, their memory of experiences was unclear to them. They only knew that they were hungry, tired, sleepy. During the night we looked across the channel toward Bataan and heard booming explosions and saw many-colored fires as the defenders, in their last defiant action, de- stroyed munition dumps and fuel, and anything else that might be valuable to the ever-pressing senemy. We on Corregidor had heard over short-wave radio of the fall of Bataan, after the defenders’ gallant three-month stand. Soldiers Weep Unashamed. The soldiers of Corregidor, them- selves veterans of scores of pound. ing Japanese bombing raids, wept unashamed at the announcer’s words: “Bataan has fallen.” It was the short-wave broadcast of “The Voice of Freedom,” a secret transmitter hidden in the hills of In the original main line, the Americans had Mount Natib at their backs, giving them an advantage of | observation for artillery fire.

I, April 11.—An outlaw torpedo which ranged un- directed almost 6 miles in Narra- gansett Bay after it was accidentally | discharged from a motor torpedo boat, struck and damaged the Navy cargo vessel Capella and injured eight of her crew, the Navy an- nounced yesterday. None of those injured was in a| serious condition, the Navy asserted in disclosing the unusual accident. Detonation of the torpedo against the Capella’s side shook dwellings along the shore. How serfously the ship was damaged was not disclosed, but Navy tugs aided the Capella to shoal water as she was settling by the stern. Motor torpedo boats took off the eight injured men and rushed them | to the Newport Naval Hospital. Their injuries were found to include fractures and lacerations, but none was regarded in a critical condition. The accident was said to have been caused by a short circuit aboard a motor torpedo boat, one | of the type recently used with spec- tacular success in the Philippines, while the craft was engaged in prac- tice exercises.

The two joint arrangements af- fecting the agricultural economy of the neighboring nations were recom- mended by joint economic commit tees of the two countries. Approved by President Roosevelt and by Canadian Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King, the agreements were disclosed simuitaneously here and in Ottawa. One provides for increasing the production of oil-bearing crops in the United States and of oats, barley | and flax in Canada. The second covers the utilization of farm work- ers and machinery to facilitate the harvests in both nations. A White House statement asserted: “The approval of these joint ar- rangements marks one of the first positive actions on the agricultural front to further closer economic col- laboration between the two nations in the common war effort. Without changing the existing tariff struc- ture, these arrangements provide for more effective utilization of the joint agricultural resources of the two | countries for the production of cer- tain farm products needed in the effort.” wmDon’t Put Off " added. “We all enlisted for service anywhere in the world.” !
