The object Is to keep Chinese lrregu-jlars ln check. Reports persist that there have been heavy casualties among the Japanese as a result of a new Chinese offensive. j The body of Mike Cohut, a relief reclpjlent who lived in a shack in the woods beyond the end of. Comox Avenue, was found lying beside a trail near the shack about '10 o'clock this morning by Alex-lander Tolmle. Cohut was a heavy .drinker and that, it Is believed, was probably contributory to his death. He had been dead four or five hours when found. He was .about fifty years of age.
