from Cavite included "three-inch
and four inch artillery as well as
boats guns and machine guns of
several types. with ammunition.
"a large number of hand grenades,

well added.
japanese big guns were reported
in an earlier war communiqque to be
hammering at American-Filipino
forces on Bataan Peninsula and
Notifications in Manila Bay, but
there was no indication the enemy
was yet ready to launch a new Of.
fensive.
Infantry action was limited to
numerous skirmishes between pa
trols.
All the Notifications in Manila
Bay were subjected to fire from the
Japanese batteries on the south
east side of the bay anad were re-
plying with their own guns.
The enemy continued, however, to
concentrate on Fort Frank. Stu
ated on Carabao Island, this fort is
only about a mile from the bay
shore held by the Japanese.
Speculation Over Strategy.
The continued concentration on it
led to speculation here that the jap
anese strategy now was to attempt
progressive reduction of the outlying
Notifications. Last month they as
sembled a fleet of barges with the
apparent purpose of trying a direct
assault on the principal American
stronghold, Fort Mills on Corregidor
Island. The concentration was dis
covered, however, and the barges
blasted to bits by the forts guns.
Yesterdays 'communique reported
also that enemy aircraft were active
over the lines Of Gen. MacArthur's
army and dropped incendiary bombs.
In dispatch Friday. Gen. Mac
Arthur reported that the Japanese
incendiaries were filled with white
phosphorus instead OF the magne-
SUM customarily used by western
nations.
The phosphorus, experts said, is
easily extinguished with water.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Feb. 21.-
We went through three hours Of hell
out there and 20 fine men are dead
in the sea, but saw some real heroes
on rescue ship. I'm going back
to the sea, as quickly as I can, out
Of respect for those who died and
those who risked death to save us.
Two toipedoes exploded against
our sides in rapid succession. and
instantly we were a mass of flames
amidship. We had $4,000 barrels of
gasoline and another $4,000 barrels
of Diesel oil and kerosene aboard.
The sea soon was afire for half
mile or a mile around us as the gaso-
line and oil spread.
We had passed another ship which
was about five miles back On the
starboard quarter wnen VIC were tor
pedoed and set afire. three CT four
shells exploded on us after we were
ablaze. The men on the ship behind
us saw It ell, yet they rame to our
rescue, launched boats and saved
all who were alive. That is bravery.
Made Way Through Fire.
I was In my room when the tor
pedoes came. Instantly the doorway
was framed with fire. There was
no gasoline explosion, for our tanks
were full and full tanks do not ex-
plode. I tried to get out OF a port
hole, but it was too small. I got
some heavy towels, wet them and
wound them around my head. face
and hands. I threw open my door
and made my way forward.
I could see First Officer Alfred
Carini and Third Officer H. l.. Dodge
at the bow of the ship with the
radio officer and made my way to
them.
Don't Jump overheard" I told
them. You'll burn to death"
We talked the situation over. and
got a heavy mooring line which we
made fast and put the end over the
bow. We waited until the bow was
clear Of flames, then slid down the
line into the sea and swan hard to
get away from the ship.
I thought there wasn't a chance
for life. All our lifeboats burned.
We had no idea any ship would
brave a submarine attack on itself
to come to our aid. But the men
OF that other ship came on.

a one-party system of government
is nothing more or less than a die
tatorship.
With the two party system this
nation maintained up to the last de-
cade, men elected to high office DEM
onstrated that they felt they were
servants of the people, but as soon
as the breaking down of the two
party system begins the spirit of
dictatorship appears. Then we very
soon began to see RECOMMENDATION and
regulation of the everyday life of the
people. Right then, opportunity is
being destroyed as fast as possible.
In conclusion may I say frankly
that there is but one hope for the
continuation of the system of govern
ment we all have enjoyed all these
years and that is help all we can in
winning this war. Each one of us
should then help all we can in getting
out of office men who show signs
even of wanting to NEEDLE into the
affairs of other nations and dictate
the lives of our people and elect
men in their places who understand
that they are servants of the people
and not their dictators.

be matter of grave concern to all
of us at this time.
In answer to these questions the
average man on the street is pretty
apt to say, Lets knock the stuffing
out of Hitler and the Japs first and
tend to this war settlement later"
1t would be to the interest of
America if such sentiment could
prevail; but in face of the clamor
from certain Influential sources that
we act now there is a grave likeli-
hood that we are committed and
shall be committed to lot of things
we wouldn't for a moment consider
in the calm light of peace. This is
an ideal time for the over-Zealous
and the INSCRIPTIONS to slip some
thing over" It behooves every
American to be on guard.
America for Americans" with a
reasonable amount of isolationism in
jected into the term, is far more
worthy of consideration than "Union
Now" If America hadn't, through
the years, looked out for Number
One, we wouldn't today be in a posi-
ton to come to the rescue of nations
who need our help so badly.
