JAPANESE NAVAL LOSSES SERIOUS
Don Bate Lectures on Nip. ponese Liabilities; Ex.
 plains Attack

Japanese naval losses are ire. placable said Don Bate, lecturer, foreign correspondent and expert on the Far Eastern situation, ct the Second church forum last night.
 A gathering Of several hundred heard the speaker observe that the Japanese do not possess the inater- ials necessary to replace war craft which have been destroyed, while America can suffer losses, md In time i'll tho gaps In It's fleet.
 propheeying the course the war will take, MT, Bate said that an all- out assault by sea and air will be launched against the island power, and that not only industries, but civilian populations will not be spared. Tho American air force will not hesitate to use lncendiAry bombs, the speaker said, ln m cf. fort to crush the morale of tho jAp- anese populac0.
 Nipponeso cities are extremely vulnerable to this type Of attack, 1t was pointed out. The papIer- -maehe towns are highly eoflbuStlbie. and only out-inodod fire apparatus eX- fists in tie best.equlpped comfnuni- ties.
 Analydng the reasons for the Pearl Harbor disaster, Mir Bate on. nouneed that the cause of the inl- tiai Japanese victory were three- fold. First, the habit of taking things easy for the weekend start. ing Rt noon Saturday: second, the unchanging plane patrol schedule, which permitted the enemy to slip In between patrols, and, third, the serious error of undertaking the Japanese.
 The speaker expressed his con- viction that there will never be Q recurrence Of these conditions, and that ultimately Pearl Harbord will figure importantly In the final on- Slaught that will defeat the Jap- anese. Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor Of the Second Congregational church, introduced MT. Bate.

ROBERT MACARY VERY GRATEFUL
Democrat Carrier Loses $2 in Defense Stamps, But
 Pals Make Loss Good

Robert Macary, c Democrat car- Tier, was among the first to respond to the call of volunteers to sell United States Defense Stamps to customers. Bobby Is thirteen and Q student at washington School where his teachers say he Is an excellent pupil, To date he has sold more than his quota of Defense Stamps to help Uncle sam win the war.
 With no profit accruing for theiI canvasSing of subscribers to buy stamps and with the only reward for their work being the realization and knowledge they are doing Q much needed task well, 1t is inc portant that when Q customer gives them money for stamps that they purchase them and deliver them as quickly and safely as possible.
 When one Of Bobby's customers gave him two dollars Saturday morning to purchase twenty stamps he hurried down to the Democrats circulation department and pur- chased the stamps, put them In his pocket, as he thought securely, but when he looked for them Q half hour later they were gone. When Bobby reported his loss Q hunt Was organized by other carriers, but the result was fruitless, Evidently the snow, rain and wind of Saturday morning did its best to dispose Of the little stamps,
 Showing the spirit that makes America the great country that 1t Is, several of Bolohy's buddles started Q fund ranging in donations from one cent to ten cents and In fifteen minutes two dollars was subscribed, thus making good Bohby's loss, The ready response brought tears ot gratitude to and thanks to MaeRfy's eyes, and he now hopes someone may find the original stamps so nc can use them as the nucleus of c fund to help other boys who may have the misfortune to lose q ht. tie money In handling the stamp sale,
