was a raid, however, just before the
ceremony.
I'VE left all our fine clothes in
Manila and there were no fancy
uniforms nor gold cloth at this
inaugural-just what khaki clothing
we had.
Yet we believe this was the most
impressive ceremony OF its kind ever
held"
Mr.. Quezon and his staff came to
Australia so they could have outside
contacts to administer the govern
ment better. it was explained.
The President has been under
tremendous mental and physical
strain since before the war" the

Master Strotegist Holds
MocArthur's Botoon Line
1t. Gen. Wainwright
Came Up Through
Cavalry Exploits
BY FRANK ]. WELLER,
Wide World News

The man who holds MacArthur's
line on Bataan Peninsula is caval-
ryman of old hell Leather days.
1t. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright.
Philippine commander, won his rank
with saddle. saber and a pair of
yellow-braid pants-astride the lead
horse of his troop.
He still leads, but today he's
astride the narrow neck of land in
herited from Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur. So Gen. Macarthur knew.
when called to Australia, that he
left behind on Bataan a modern
warrior with enough horse soldier
tradition to hold that thin line if
it could be held.
Ignores Surrender Demand.
Surrender or else" pleaded 1t
Gen. Yamashita in one of those
wishful Japanese ultimatums to men
they outnumber 10 to l. Well, an
other japanese general once sent
such an ultimatum to Gen. Mac
Arthur. His name was 1t. Gen.
Homma. the man who committed
hara kiri because he had failed his
emperor
Gen. Wainwright just forgot
about Gen. YamaShita No an

Department, land none was sent"
And there, say general staff off,

Skinny Wainwright will do.
He'll fight" they say. Ito the last
round of ammunition, and then 60
at them with the bayonets as long
as he and his men have enough food
to stay on their feet"
Gen. Wainwrights soldier motto
is that ringing The attack. always
the attack battle cry of Marshal
Neys famous French cavalry-the
Napoleonic masterpiece Marshal
Foch used to rally men in the last
war.
Adheres to Attack Theory.
The attack, always the attack"
Gen. Wainwright insisted. So he
chose the cavalry. pre-eminently an
attack unit. when he was graduated
from West Point.
Gen. Wainwright YVES thinking OF
attack, from just such position as
Bataan has given vastly outnum-
bered force, when he backed away
from Lingayen Bay. That was the
focal point of japanese landing
north of Manila. Gen. Wainwright,
commanding the now-famous Phil
ippine division of MacArthur's
army, fought fierce rear guard
action until he could unite forces
with the American Batangas COM
mand moving up from the south.
Once together. Gen. Wainwright
helped maneuver them into what
became "MacArthur's line of des-
tiny" and there he stayed with his
men-f1ghting Japanese hand to
hand. To him, probably more than
to any other officer, War Depart
ment officers say. goes credit for
the foresight which prevented the
whole outfit being knocked of in
bottleneck at Manila.
Master Of Strategy.
The general is called master
strategist. He is graduate of every
advanced tactical school, including
the Army War College. A brother
officers say he never hesitated in
theoretical maneuvers when asked
an opinion on where an enemy was
likely to attack in force or where
and how best to meet him with
either offense or defense tactics.
All this is known to military men
as map problems" for which, they
say, Gen. Wainwright knew all the
answers"
He should. He was at West
