Radio Si|ent> All Java Feared Lost;
Bandoeng Break-Through Peri|s
Last Major Dutch Strongho|ds
Soerobojo CutOff

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PRESS.
LONDON, March 7.-Blacked-
out communications left the fate
of all Java in the gravest doubt
tonight after a 13-hour-old dis
patch had told of a japanese
break through in the outer
northern defenseS of Bandoeng,
the military headquarters and
arsenal where the Netherlands
Indies had concentrated its re-
manning effective forces.
We are now shutting down.
Good-by till better times. Long live
the Queen!" was the farewell mes
sage of the official Java radio serv-
ice as it signed off. (The message
was timed 7:55 am. E. w. T. today)
The official station is located at
Bandoeng.
Tonight, anxious Dutch circles
in London waited in vain for fur
ther word of the desperate fighting
for their last strongholds in the
beleaguered 622-mile long island,
word which they hoped could be
sent from small secret transmitting
stations elsewhere in Java.
But these stations. just powerful
enough to be heard in Australia
and designed for use only when all
other means of communication had
failed, also were silent.
I'VE don't know whether they are
operating" said one Dutch source.
Its a terrible business"
Defenders Give Way.
The silence suggested that the
headlong advance of overpowering
japanese forces, free to work their
will in the air and on the sea, had
overrun not only Bandoeng but
other strongholds as well.
Pounded by japanese air force
against which 'Dutchmen can no
longer put up sufficient resistance y
the defenders of the beautiful glens
of volcanic Mount Tangkoeban
Prahoe, 10 miles north of Bandoeng,
finally gave way on Friday, said a
dispatch of Aneta, the Dutch news
agency.
AS a result, the dispatch said, the
situation on the whole western end
of the island, which had been reck-
oned as the best defended, was ad-
mittedly critical after only seven
days of the invasion.
This dispatch, timed at 10 am.
(9:30 pm, Friday, E. w. t., was
about 13 hours in transmission, and
the interruption of further COM
munication suggested that perhaps
Dutch hopes of making a Mac
Arthur-like stand amid the high
hills of West Central Java had
been completely dashed.
Situation Admittedly Critical"
The complete dispatch follows:
"Bandoeng March T. 10 a m, Java
time Delayed Japanese troops
have broken through Bandoeng S
northern defenses, it became known
this morning.
The situation on at least the
western part of the Island of Java
Is now admittedly Critical
THE breach occurred Friday in
the lines on the northern side of
the famous volcano of Tangkoeban
Prahoe.
THE defenses here constituted
the first line of Bandoeng's noun
tain defenses to the north.
THE Japanese break-through
took place in the face of fierce re-
sistance on the part of the far
numerically inferior Netherlands
Indies troops.

within five minutes. Since the
walls were of plaster the fire had
no opportunity to spread to in
flamable material of the build
ing. A few minutes later, how
ever. it would had time to gut
the building. Fortunately. there
