PHILIPPINE FIGHTING. PEOPLE’S SUFFERINGS. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (10.45 a.m.) RUGBY, Jan. 19. A Washington War Department communique says that in the Philippine theatre ground operations during the past 24 hours have been of a desultory nature. i
Enemy patrols were active and some incidental skirmishes took place with indecisive results.
Enemy air activity was confined to frequent reconnaissances. General Macarthur has been advised that the Filipino-occupied areas have been summarily disposed of the means of transportation and other equipment. Native farmers have been evicted from their homes and formed into labour groups. Harvested crops and food stores have been seized by the invaders.—Official Wireless.
