Japanese put more troops ashore from
40 transports in the vicinity of Atimoan,
on Lopez Bay, IS miles southeast of Ma
Mia, and the threat of invasion at an
other point was made Wednesday when
enemy troopships appeared off Batan-
gas, IS miles southwest of Manila. Japa-
nese tried landing here but were driven
off. From three directions the Japanese
were preparing to converge on Manila,
which had four AFRAID alarms during
the day.
In view of the grave difficulties facing
the defenders of Luzon, Gen. Macarthur
and his staff took to the field in order
to direct the resistance The prospects
were gloomy, but large throngs in Ma
nila cheered confidently when forces OF
American tanks headed for battle along
the citys streets. Lingayen continued to

The assault on tiny Wake Island, far
out in the Pacific, began December 8

Staged Peiping Incident.
The engineer Of this coup was pro-
NOTED to major general, and became
chief OF secret service for the Kwantung
department. Then, for three years, he
vanished from public view. He was re-
ported to be darting here and there, in
Chinese disguise, about the republics
interior. What he was concerned with
became visible to all the world when
the Japanese blew up a bridge near
Peiping-formerly Peking-on July 7,
1887, and blamed the explosion on the
Chinese This was the famous "Peiping
incident" which set off the present
Chinese-Japanese War.
In 1889 he was made full general and
appointed chief of the military aviation
department. He used the new post as
a screen for his espionage activities.
With the fall of Prince Fumimaro
Konoye's second cabinet last October IL,

general, became Minister President OF
the cabinet, and assumed in addition the
portfolios of war and home affairs.
Gen. Sugiyama was already chief OF
the general staff Office, and Count Terau-
chi had been for six years the strong
man" Of the Supreme War Council.
Tojo "The Razor
AS if this conjunction of three dam
gerous men in top places were not warn
ing enough to the democracies, Premier
TOTO, on taking Office, spoke with ruthless
candor. Membership in the Axis would
continue to be Japans fundamental
policy, he declared, with successful
settlement of the China incident and
establishment of a Greater Far East
Asia co-prosperity sphere" The Nine
Power Pact was denounced as "a relic
Of an outmoded age"
Like Admiral Yamamoto, Gen. TOTO Is
81 years old, has background Of avia-
ton and is inspired with the patriotism
of a zealot. He is the son of high
army officer, 1t. Gen. Eikyo TOTO. A
graduate Of the Military Staff College,
he was Attache to the japanese Embassy
in Berlin during 1919. He was success
sively chief of the police bureau and
chief of staff of the KWantung army,
vice minister of war, director general of
military aviation and war minister in
the recent Konoye cabinet. He wears

NAZ|S LOSE A AROUND--BUT REMAIN STRONG
German Machine Groggy but Still Packs WoIIop

I military leaders to be the main contribu-
ton of Nippon in this war, and every
effort is being directed now to frustrate
such a victory by the little brown men
of the east.
But while the Fuehrer Is anxiously
watching developments in the Far East,
he also is reported to be preparing for
an intense offensive against the Near
East, regardless of how his yellow
Aryan" associates fare in the Pacific.
Unless information received IN Lon
don and Washington during the last
month is wholly inaccurate, there Is q
strong concentration Of German troops
now in Southeastern Europe. The Ger
mans appear to have several plans, but
the one which concerns Allied COM
manders most is that for movement
through Turkey to Syria in conjunction
with a blitz against the British fleet in
the Mediterranean, Italy and France
providing the bases for the Luftwaffe.
According to the terms of the French
armistice with Germany, Nazi aviation
is free to use French airport facilities
wherever 1t desires. Theoretically this
means that the Nazis can land on air
dromes In unoccupied France or the
French colonies for either fuel or repairs.
But the Nazi gang in Berlin fully ac-
cepts the dictum of Germany's last war
time chancellor, Won Bethmann-Holl
veg, necessity knows no law" Hence
the Germans are not likely to hesitate to
use the excellent facilities of air bases
in Southern France, Corsica and North
Africa for full war purposes in an at
tempt to cripple the British feet with an
"all-out" air blitz.
Mediterranean War.
This, it is believed in many we'll
informed quarters, will be the first phase
of the war in the Mediterranean. CAM
paign which the Germans consider even
more necessary than the conquest OF
Russia or the British Isles. The German
high command knows that the British
and empire forces in the Near East have
been preparing for just such an eventu-
ality, and that they are better prepared
than any other army-with the exception
Of the Russian-which the Nazis have
encountered so far. --
The Nazis know that this British Near
Eastern army has ample supplies of war
material, including tanks and planes,
and that the struggle will be one Of the
wars toughest. But they also realize
that, well prepared as the British Near
East army is, it must rely for fresh sup
plies on the sea route through the Medi-
terranean, and this is well guarded by
the British Navy. Hence the strategic
necessity of attempting to destroy that
thorn in the Axis side by an aerial blitz
combined with naval action by Italian,
and if possible French, warships and es-
pecially submarines.
The Nazis lost the first round in the
eastern theater Of war, but they are far
from knockout. The gong has yet to
sound for the next round, but they are
already on their feet. The German war
machine is little groggy, perhaps, after
Russia and Libya, but 1t still packs .
terrific wallop.

The Pacific Front

The Philippines lie in the Japanese
path from Japan to Malaga and the
Indies, and those rich regions cannot
receive the full Japanese attention so
long as the Philippines are outside Japa-
nese control So, for this and other rea-
sons which now are subordinate, it is to
be expected that Japan would make an
earnest effort to take the Philippines.
This expectation is being fulfilled.

mating 100000 troops was attacking the
Philippines on Monday,

north of Manila. The invading soldiers,
supported by strong naval and air force,
met vigorous resistance from American
and Filipino troops under Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, while to the south, on the
island of Mindanao, around Davao, heavy
fighting that broke out the week before
continued.
The next day the fighting around Lin
gayen increased in intensity with the
enemy using light tanks south of Agoo.
On another Luzon front, at the north
end Of the island, at Aparri, the Japa-
nese invaders were checked. But the
fight around the shores of Lingayen was
the paramount Philippine fight. There
on Tuesday the American forces held
line north Of Damortis, miles south
