JAPANESE IN BURMA
HARRIED BY GUERILLAS. PRIMITIVE BUT DEADLY TRIBAL METHODS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, August 24. The exploits of guerillas operating from the Burma-Assam border into Japanese-occupied Burma are described by an army observer in a message from New Delhi. The famous tribe called me Nagas are playing a great part in attacks on Japanese patrols. The Nagas study the habit of the enemy and the features of the country and, using primitive weapons and strategies, work so swiftly and silently that the advance section of an enemy column may pass without knowing that the rear has been wiped out. The British patrols are greatly helped by information provided by the guerillas.
