 The occupation was made with out opposition by force of men fully equipped to withstand aerial, land or naval attack and was made without the loss of a man through enemy action.
 Huge Convoy
 Probably the largest convoy of American ships ever to sail in this part of the North Pacific formed at a secret rendezvous at sea late in August and proceeded hundreds of miles west of Dutch Harbor without sighting an enemy plane or a submarine.
 The convoy included heavy naval craft, destroyers and other small boats along with several large transports loaded to the gun wales with troops and supplies. The offensive force also included a strange collection of power barg- es, tugs and converted yachts, even one four master, a codfish schoon- CT which proceeded at a snail's pace, carrying troops and offering a splendid target for the enemy. But the Japs apparently were either afraid to tackle the naval escort or were unaware of it.
 Fight Weather
 The convoy arrived here in driv- ing rain and commenced unload ing troops and equipment on va cant beach, previously thoroughly secuted for enemy scouts or de- lending forces by our guerrilla type units, special ones organized to operate in Alaska.
 Our troops came ashore in full equipment, ready to fight but found the Aleutian weather the chief obstacle. The first day sud- denly turned stormy as the con- voy reached the bay and banged landing boats against the sides of vessels.

GERMANY |S PREPARING
 FOR ALLIES
Reports Say Channel Coast 10 Be Ready for Se(-
 ond Front

LONDON, June 27-An unusually well informed foreign source said today that Adolf Hitler is being urged by his military commanders to arrange" occupation of all of France to offset the projected second front invasion in Europe by the United Nations.
 The source declared that the re- port came through the same trust worthy channels disclosing that guns from the Maginot and Siegfried lines are being moved to the English Channel coast.
 In addition, Hitler is said to have shaken up his military command, re- placing 26 division commanders in the last three or four weeks.
 The changes in the German mili- tary organization, the source said, parallel moves to stiffen civilian morale in the Reich under a de- cree against anti-social elements who endanger the totalitarian state in Germany.
 The source warned against con- sidcring these moves by the Ger mans as signs of weakness and said that they should be taken as evid- ence of German preparedness whics, the Allies must be equipped to over come when they invade the contin- ent.

Following the announcement in Thursdays Daily Alaska Empire by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., in Washington, that Alaska and Hawaii are lead ing the nation in sales of War Bonds on proportionate basis, and that Alaska had been the first sector to complete it's June quota which it did at the end of the third week-Gov. Ernest Gruening Territorial Administrator of War Savings, this morning received the following telegram from MT. Nor genthau:
 Hearty congratulations to the members of the Alaska War Saw ings committee upon fulfilling your June bond sales quota. Your suc- cess promises well for succeeding months and the Treasury takes real satisfaction in the splendid work your committees are doing
 Tt is extremely gratifying that Alaska's support of the Treasury War Bond program should be thus recognized, particularly since the Alaska War Savings Staff has been in official operation only six months" Gov. Gruening said.
 That Alaska has been able to at- tain and, even. exceed the quotas which have been set, is ample testi- mony to the splendid work of the various volunteer committees ano also to the careful guidance which has been furnished these groups by the War Savings Staff in Juneau It proves that organized and CO., ordinated effort produces the best results, and in the months to come I am certain that this coordination will help immeasurably in keeping Alaska in the foreground of the nations War Savings purchases"

MORE FACTS
 ON RAID ON T0kY0T0LD
U. 5. Pliers Back Home Re- Ceive Decorations in
 Washington

WASHINGTON, June Twenty three U. S. Army fliers today re- ceived Distinguished Flying Crosses for their April IS raid on Japan as they returned to the United States with additional details of the havoc and destruction wrought by the American fliers.
 It was disclosed that Americas famous secret Norden bombsights were left behind on the trip be- cause of the risk of one of them falling into enemy hands.
 The U. s. pilots used improvised bombsights costing but 20 cents each but they made adequate hit ting targets on account of the ex- tremely low altitude at which the bombers flew.
 Two Japs Downed
 A plane piloted by Maj. Charles Greening of Tacoma shot down two Jap pursuers, and others are re- ported to have scored hits on the relatively low number of defending planes.
 The lack of pursuit opposition and the lack of warnings between the Jap cities, the inaccuracy of anti-aircraft fire were factors which mystified and continue to mystity all who took part in the raid" the War Department said.
 The War Deparement shed nc further light on President Roose- velt's facetious Shangrila base foi the attack.
 The decorations for the flyers were presented by Lieut.. Gen. Arn- old, Army Air Forces commander Present at the ceremony was Brig Gen. Doolittle who was awarded the Congressional Mecal of Honor on May 19.
 From Portland
 Included in those decorated were Second Lieuts. Dean Davenport, pi- lot, and Robert s. Clever, lombard fer, both of Portland, Oregon. Al who were decorated will return tt their homes for local ceremonie: on the Fourth of July. Most of the other members of the raiding party are still in combat zones.
