American troops fought their third
large-scale ground engagement OF
the war early yesterday, turning
back strong japanese night attack
with heavy losses to the enemy.
Dawn showed the ground in front
of American barbed wire covered
with dead and wounded Japanese
while the American lines remained
intact.
This all-American unit thus con.
tinued to prove the superiority OF
American troops over the japanese
Every time the two forces have met
the Japanese have been defeated.

105-MM. field guns pounded the
American lines from dawn to dusk
while his planes droned necessarily

Win War First, Dance Later

Your good paper OF Friday the
18th contained a public opinion ar
tiole that was quite pertinent on
the Public Dance question.

owners could do Not only this
but from the experience | know OF

seducers soon infested the public

are right They better not change
their minds Just because a few
money greedy folks keep the bee
on them. BY far the most OF the
people In the community will hot
say anything but they certainly will
support the action already taken by
the council to keep out public dance
institutions for the duration. II
they are not kept out, then after a
few OF these tragedies happen the
whole city will arise in shame and
demand they he closed but TOO
late, Of course. TO help the vic.

II also seems 10 me that while
we are in the most terrible war In
history the whole community
should think Of nothing else but

dance hall is not a necessity for
