WITH GEN. MACARTHUR ON
THE BATAN FRONT, Jan. % De-
layedD A little inconvenience like
the lack of airplanes hasn't stopped
flying men of the United States
Army from fighting the Japanese.
They have seized rifles. machine
guns and grenades and Joined the
gallant forces of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur in his epic stand against an
entire Japanese army on the Batan
Peninsula.
There are far more Air Corps men
than planes here in the rugged hills
where the brilliant general and his
men hold the invaders at bay. Many
pilots, bombardiers, mechanics and
machine-gunners have volunteered
with other branches and are now
making a grand showing in the
mountains and jungles. Many OF
their planes had been destroyed in
combat, others had been lost on the
ground
A few American planes still roam
the skies. engaging i'll guerrilla war

and only this morning Its. Earl R.
Stone, jr, and John Posten, jr., shot
down three of Mr.. Moto's" dive
bombers while on dawn patrol.
Best Planes Withdrawn.
The Japanese apparently have
withdrawn their best planes and
pilots for the more important bat
ties of Singapore and the Neither
lands Indies. Wrecks which dot the
American positions are mainly Jap
anese "97s." These dive bombers.
far slower than American pursuit
planes, are four to five years old.
The Japanese number their planes
by the year of manufacture, and
81 translates into 1887.
Some German made MeSser-
schmitts we're used in the early
phases of the Philippine campaign,
but none has been sighted recently.
First class Japanese planes are as
speedy as American ships and more
maneuverable than our pursuiters
still in Batan Peninsula.
The japanese fighters are armed
and two 20-mm. cannon. They are
Of less rigid construction than the
American craft, but this is not al
ways a disadvantage. Bullets which
hit American planes are likely to
carry away bigger bite of wing
tip or fuselage, than a shot strik-
ing a Japenese fighter. But the
Americn planes are less likely to
crack up when landing in a DAM
aged condition.
Effectiveness Reduced.
The punch that the American
fighters still carry, and the amazing
accuracy of the anti-aircraft bat
teries have cut deeply into the ef-
fectiveness of Japanese bombers.
They fly higher. and are more likely
to jettison their explosives HARM
lessly when danger appears.

Not only do the handful of Ameri-

reconnaissance and defense, but
they are adrenaiin shots to the
morale of the ground troops.

cal problems of monetary exchange

Pay day in the States meant a
mass descent on the nearest towns,
thick steaks, beer, hamburgers, hot
dogs, soft drinks. sweets-with dol
lars going quickly for continuous
hours of entertainment and feeding.
At home the soldiers wanted some
thing different from the fare pro-
vided at camp.
Here the best of the land is pro-
vided at the mess tables The towns
have no steaks. and the American
soldier sampled fish and chips

tarts not so sweet as the cookies at
home, and beer which some soldiers
said was almost like chocolate

a chuckle out of the way some Of
the American boys tried to assess
their pounds. half crowns. shillings,
sixpence, twopence. pennies and half
pennies in terms of dimes, quarters,
half dollars and dollars.
Five of the pound notes didn't
seem like much to a soldier accus-
toned to getting 81 one-dollar bills,
and his pocketbook wasn't made to
carry them without folding.
Many of the soldiers had not been
paid for two months, and there were
loud arguments over the settling of
debts contracted back in the States
and on the way over when they
were paid of in English money in
stead Of dollars.

Democratic Dinners
To Be Held Feb. =,
Flynn Announces
Proceeds to Be Applied
To $500, 900 Porty Debt;
Main Feust in CopituI

By the Associated Press.
Democratic leaders turned today
to the problem of financing the 1912
election campaigns in Nation pre-
occupied with war.
Edward j. Flynn, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
announced yesterday that the an
nual Embarrassing dinners hereto
fore held on January would be
staged February %, the night when
President Roosevelt makes his next
radio report to the Nation.
Chairman Flynn said the party
still owed 100000 from the 1910
presidential campaign and wanted
to wipe this out ''in order that we
may enter the coming congressional
campaign unhampered and able to
function effectively, for it is perhaps
the most important congressional
election in our country's history"
The deficit problem was particu-
larlv urgent this year he explained,
because under the Hatch Act the
party no longer could follow its
former practice of borrowing from
banks and repaying the loans from
subsequent contributions.
Mr.. Flynn did not disclose what
would be charged at the dinners.
In other years the price has been
sl00 a plate at the parent gathering
in Washington, with more modest
figures at those elsewhere in the
country. Hitherto the affairs have
been called Jackson Day dinners
and their early January date has
been the anniversary of Andrew
Jackson's victory in the battle OF
New Orleans.
The White House announced last
week that Mr.. Roosevelt would
broadcast an address about Feb
ruary %. Washington's Birthday, to
"dissipate poisonous and trouble
some rumors" and to give the Ma
tion better understanding of what
the war involves.
Mr.. Flynn said that since the
birth anniversary fell on Sunday,
the broadcast and dinners were set
for the following day.
