American Forces
Ready to RepuIse
Any Solomon lab
Marines, Warships and
Planes Well Established
In Island Positions

HEADQUARTERS, UNIT
ED STATES P A C / F c
FLEET, Aug. 81. (UP)-
United States forces in the
southern Solomon Islands
Marines, warships, and land based
planes-are ready to meet any Japa-
nese challenge, we'll informed quar-
ters said today.
Informants said the American
forces unquestionably had won the
first two rounds of the Solomons
battle.
There was no over-confidence here
but it was said that the United
States forces had held superiority
ever since their frs. landings were
made Aug. Z.
FORESEEN POSSIBILITY
Now, informants said. the japa-
nese might be plotting to hurl fleet
units into an attempt to dislodge
the Marines. 1t was indicated that
the United States fleet command
had foreseen this possibility and
was prepared to meet it.
One of the most significant points
of the Marine operations in the Sol
onions was that they had proved
American superiority in hand to
hand and guerilla fighting
1t was the first time the Marines
had met the japanese in real
clash on anything approaching
equal terms, and all reports indi-
Gated that the Marines had had
things all their own way.
BEATEN TO PUNCH
The United States forces, it was
said. had beaten the japanese to
the punch in every engagement in
Guiding such diversional actions as

been stabilized for the last 48 hours
but that heavy Nazi pressure con-
tinued.
London dispatches gave increasing
attention to the North, African Sit
uation where both the Germans
and the Allies appeared to be al
most at the jumping-off point for
big-scale new desert battles.
Some sources in Britain limited at
the possibility of major Allied
drive to sweep the Axis out of Afri-
ca, possibly involving breach in
relations between the United States
and Vichy France.
They suggested the possibility OF
an Allied drive to seize the strategic
West African port of Dakar and
the North African French possess
sions in order to deny their use by
the Germans.
However, it was admitted that
any such action depends in large
part upon the ability of the British
to take Marshal Erwin Rommel's
measure in the forthcoming desert
campaign.
1t was suggested that the African
offensive may be the Allied Substi-
tute for the long-awaited second
front in Europe.
In the Pacific the news still CEN
tered on the spreading Allied tacti-
cal offensive against Japan. Gen.
Douglas Macarthur repo. ted that
his forces had sprung trap upon
the Japanese who landed at Milne
Bay on the easternmost tip of New
Guinea and virtually had destroyed
the Japanese expeditionary force.
The Chinese offensive in Chekiang
and Kiangsi provinces gained head
way and American bombers from
China and India attacked japanese
bases in Burma.
United Press Staff Correspondent
M. S. Handler reported after trip
to the Rzhev front that American
tanks, jeeps, and trucks were playing
major role in the Soviet diversion
ary attack which has carried the
Red army into the outskirts OF
Rzhev.
The Japanese defeat was so thor
ough, it was indicated, that their
hold on other points in New Guinea
may be jeopardized.
1t was believed that the japanese
may have evacuated most of the
remnants of their battered Milne
Bay troops aboard a cruiser and
eight destroyers which swung in
to the shore over the weekend.
lMacArthur's blow coming close
on the American successes in the
Solomons materially relieved the
Japanese threat both to Australia
and to the vital Allied communica-
tions route from Hawaii to Australia
New Zealand.
The Japanese were reported to
have lost virtually all their equip
ment in the ill-timed Milne Bay
operation. Macarthur. foreseeing
such Japanese move, had installed
a strong Allied force. largely con-
