Calls on Troops
Not to Retreat
Another Step

By the Associated Press.
SINGAPORE, Feb. 4. Allied
Generalissimo Sir Archibald P.
Wavel declared today that
Britain and the United States
are sending great reinforce
ments" to the Southwest Pacific
battle area and called on his
fighting men not to retreat
another step before the Japanese
onslaught.
He declared that the defense of
Singapore must be made "as men,
orable and successful" as the defense
of Tobruk"
Meanwhile, artillery batteries on
Singapore Island roared into action
again, blasting away at jap
anese troop movements on the Ma
layan mainland as enemy air raiders
unleashed new attacks on this island
fortress.
Job to Fight for Some Time.
Gen. Wavell linked the present
fighting forces of the United Ma
tons in the Southwest Pacific to
the original British World War bat
tie force at Ypres and said their
job was to fight for time until REIN
forcements arrived.
This was the text of his special
order of the day:
The japanese are straining every
nerve to keep the advantage gained
by their initial surprise and to gain
a quick success.
once their impetus Is thwarted
they will soon be discouraged. Our
part is to stop them to gain time
for the great reinforcements which
we and our American allies are send
ing to. the eastern theater
I'VE are in a similar position to
the original British Expeditionary
Force which stopped the Germans
and saved Europe in the first bat
tie of Ypres.
I'VE must be worthy successors
of them and save Asia by fighting
these Japanese.
Japs Can't Exploit Mobility.
"They have now reached an area
where we cannot be constantly out
f1anked, and where the enemy can
not exploit superior mobility.
You must yield no strip of ground
without fighting hard, and must
leave nothing behind undestroyed
that would be of the least service
to the enemy.
"Our friends and allies, the Dutch,
are carrying out this policy in every
part of the N E. I. with sacrifice
and resolution.
Il look to you all to fight this bat
tie without further thought of re-
treat, and to make the defense of
Singapore as memorable and sue
cessful as the defense of Tobruk
which British, Australian and In
dian troops held so long and so gal
lantly.'
Situation Unchanged.
Despite the sudden furry of artil-
lery and air activity, there was no
sign that the Japanese were about
to begin their expected attempt to
cross Johore Strait, and COM
munique described the general sit
uation as unchanged.
The announcement said the new
Japanese air assaults had caused
some damage but few military
casualties. Bombs dropped in the
second raid on the island this
morning fell on the residential
areas of the city itself and in the
countryside.
