Macarthur Success
On Bataan Credited
To New Tactics
Devised Method to Halt
Jop 'InfiItrotion,
Successful Elsewhere
By DAVID M. NICHOL.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur's tiny
and gallant army which is fighting
on In Bataan Peninsula is one of
the reasons competent military au-
thorities here assign for the fact
that landings in force have not al
ready been made by the japanese
in Australia.
The defense Of the peninsula,
barely so miles long and only half
as wide, has been heroic in the
finest traditions of any army In the
world. It has evidenced a rare
combination of courage and skill
and leadership in face of over
whelming odds. And on the i'm
mensely practical side Of the ledger,
1t has made Manila Bay. the Orient's
best harbor, unusable for the drive
to the south, an advantage on which
the Japs apparently had counted
heavily.
How Gen. Macarthur was able
to hold of the initial thrusts. how
he refused to be decoyed out of po-
sition, how he inflicted amazing
losses on his attackers and how he
then skillfully withdrew when the
giant trap that had been prepared
for him was about to clamp shut is
q story that can not yet be told in
detail, but its general features now
can be revealed.
Orderly Withdrawal.
Military experts predict that the
campaign will be listed among the
most brilliant in the worlds long
history of war. 1t is remarkable
first, they say, for the orderly with
drawal under long and continuous
attack, an action the rule books
teach Is impossible except with the
most seasoned troops. Gen. Mac
Arthur had some of them. but he
also had others that were very
green"
In the second place, Gen. Mac
Arthur apparently evolved a sue
cessful method of dealing with Jap
anese "infiltration," the Indian war
fare Of the jungles that worked
miracles for the japanese in the
Malay Peninsula but has gotten
them no place under similar condi-
tons in Bataan.
Gen. Macarthur solved the prob
lem of the withdrawal by a series
Of concentric lines, when it became
necessary to save his army from
destruction with the resulting loss
Of the last outpost in the Philip
pines. Every foot of ground was
fought bitterly and with heavy losses
to the attackers. but the Jap ad-
vance kept stumbling over these
rapidly prepared positions.
Each time they were halted the
Japanese were compelled. to bring
up their heaviest artillery and into
action, difficult enough in itself in
the Philippine jungles and compli-
Gated by the skillful. aggressive use
which Gen. Macarthur made Of his
own artillery.
Guns Kept Far Forward.
Somehow the guns of the Ameri-
can and the Philippine soldiers were
kept far forward, with proper
tionately few losses. One of the
brief communicates issued in the
