OPERATIONS IN BURMA
ALLIED PATROLS ACTIVE IN CHIN HILLS Recd. 7 p.m. Rugby, June 26. Allied patrols have been active in the Chin Hills, Burma, thrusting deep behind the westward limit of the Japanese positions along the Fort White-Kalemyo road, embarrassing Japanese communications, according to an Allied message. The Japanese seem to be confined to this road, to which they moved up last month, probably with the object of occupying the Chin Hills as monsoon quarters and to secure a left flank for their upper Burma defences against raids. These objects, says the message, have not been achieved and the Japanese are now halted.—B.O.W.
