JAPANESE WOMEN
BODIES FOUND BY PATROL BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN WITH ENEMY FORCES. EARLIER STORIES RECALLED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.45 a.m.) NEW YORK, February 25. American mopping up patrols in the Cape Esperance area have found the bodies of three Japanese women. This is the first positive evidence of Japanese women on Guadalcanal. Mr Robert Miller, a United Press correspondent, who gives the news in a delayed dispatch from the island, says the discovery recalls stories, early in the campaign, that the enemy was employing women aviators, gunners and spies and that they had even brought up a contingent of women especially to befuddle the United States marines. The women were well nourished and apparently died from natural causes. Other Japanese women are believed to have lived near enemy headquarters at Visale.
