safe and simple for submarine to
arise to the surface near a port and
throw a few shells into a city.
1T is not beyond the bounds Of
possibility that japanese subma-
rines operating of the West Coast
of the United States may attempt
to lay their shells into cities before
they leave"
The ocean, he added, is "too big to
prevent it entirely"
Significance of Smelling.
A reporter asked the significance
Of submarine shelling of three points
in the Hawaiian islands the night
of December 30. Admiral Nimitz
replied that japanese captains de-
sire to make the utmost use Of their
weapons when there are no targets
for their torpedoes."
