Slept well last night despite hardness of floor. Saw many Corregidor people. 27 nurses got awey by two submarines and two planes. News from there not too bad. Rumor of Germanys surrender evidently false. Rumor that India has surrendered to Japan. Fighting supposedly on German-Polish frontier along 125 mi. front, with England and Americans fighting in France. Intense bombing of Germany; also, supposedly of Japan. Day passed rapidly. No change. Rumor of move tomorrow. Foot lockers confiscated but we mere allowed to get clothes and toilet articles. Very tired tonight.
