Office and Works: ROULSTON STREET, PUKEKCHE ’Phone No. 2. P.O. Box 14 “Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice.”
Parrotlike, British bombs had rained on a German town and a rescue party was battling with mounds ol' wreckage. Far beneath them they could hear a voice calling faintly to them. They dug and dug. A week later the voice could still be heard and they redoubled their efforts. At long last they came upon a very bedraggled parrot, which kept exclaiming hysterically, in German: “No damage worth mentioning, no damage worth mentioning!” “A Mice Little Present.”
"We got a nice little present up this way the other day when ten Stukas, flown by lties, had to land — intact at that —within our lines, because they had run out of juice,” writes a member of the reporting staff of the Otago Daily Times, who is serving in the Middle East. “It appears that our bombers and submarines have lately been playing hell with tiie enemy ships .from Italy and that they are getting pretty short of aero fuel in Libya.”
