Bullet-Proof Cloth For Army
The American army has developed a protective cloth for soldiers which will stop a bullet. General Bevers, in making this announcement, mentioned that the cloth would prevent many casualties, especially those caused by shell splinters. The development is described as a step-beyond the metallic body armour used by airmen.
Shipping Difficulties Difficulty was experienced with’ the hai’bour bar by the motor vessel Toa, which arrived off the Whakatane Heads on Friday. The depth of water was insufficient, and the boat was forced to wait outside till the following day, when she was just barely able to scrape across via the Eastern Channel. The slightly increased amount of water was due to the tides making.
