(BY ASSOCIATED PRESs)

Japan today officially took wor- ried cognizance of the Allied Aerial and submarine counter offensive that had taken toll of uncounted thousands of Japanese troops en- route to the Oriental battle-ground.
 A joint Japanese War and Navy communique warned the Japanese people against the lurking danger of enemy submarines" off the coast Of Japan and Japanese islands and urged them to prepare for pro- tracted war wherein hostile sub marines and aircraft bombing will play big role
 Thus far, between them, the United States Air Force and the Dutch submarines operating over and under the China Sea, have sunk one Japanese battleship. eight troop laden vessels headed, for the Philippines or Malaga for land ings, along with two supply ships.
 The Air Force is credited with damaging five additional transports off Formosa, Japanese island of the southeast China Coast.
 Tokyo received the first air raid alarm last Saturday night when i2 planes, apparently on recon naissance, were sighted off Takao. In fact. the air raid alarm sounded throughout Japan.
 An official statement was soon is- sued in which 1t was said that it is indicated the war on the sea and in the air is drawing closer to the Island Empire"
 The Japanese statement declared the struggle in the Philippines has resolved itself into a contest for air supremacy and that the United States Army Bombers are most efficient and daring"

Coming out openly against an order of the German occupation authorities for the first time since the armistice, France last night condemned the German order for the execution of 100 alleged Jewish communists and anarchists in Oc- cupied France.
 The French acknowledged the 100 persons are ''delinquents," instead of hostages such as the Germans executed in groups this fall, but said the very high number provoked profound uneasiness among Frenchmen."
 The Germans said the 100 will be shot in reprisal fer recent attacks against occupation troops"
