Much air and artillery activity this morning. White flag hoisted at 10:00 A.M. Don’t like it at all. Red Cross flags hung all over hospital. Japs came in after dark. No more washing in creek, no smoking after dark, must use blue colored flashlight at night. Death penalty if not complied with. Few admissions today. Wonder about all sick and wounded at front lines with no one to bring them in.
