yesterday took for military purposes
islands in the Marianne Marshall,
East Caroline and West Caroline ar
chipelagoes, occupied all the islands
of the Marianne group except Guam,
which is owned by the United States.
The landing forces took control Of

The navy department informed the
Associated Press that it was unable
to disclose the number or the names
Of the islands occupied as this would
be likely to defeat the object of the
maneuver, namely the restriction Of
the area of German operations, who
are able to coal and plant mines any
where.
The Japanese it was said were
compelled to take possession of the
islands in order to patrol the aren't
pelago.
With regard to the seizure Of the

ment said it was acting in conjuno-
ton with and with the knowledge Of
Great Britain, and any questions like
the permanent occupancy of the ter
ritory taken would be settled at the
