Boston, February 5. - CUP - A
four alarm fire caused more than
$4,000 damage to huge wooden
warehouse near Boston Navy Yard
today but a brick wall prevented
disappearing flames from reach

flammable chemicals in the same

Fire Chief Samuel Pope, who esti-

smoking may have caused the blaze,
which was controlled after firemen
from four cities had battled an hour

Officials said that during World

BIGGEST ARMED FORCE
IN SINGAPORE HISTORY
Fight to the Finish Has
Begun; Heavy Guns Rain
Shells on Japanese
BY HAROLD GUARD
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

Singapore, February 5. -
(UP) - The big guns of Sin
gapore silenced japanese
artillery units with a heavy
bombardment across the
Johore Straits today and the
biggest armed force in this
islands history stood ready
for a finish fight against a
direct enemy assault.
It is possible for me to say that.
Singapore is prepared.
(This indicated that reinforce
ments had begun arriving in some
force in Singapore, possibly includ-
ing American aid that has been en-
route to the Far East since the out
break of hostilities and may have
been diverted to Singapore)
What a story could write today
II it were permitted by military pre-
cautions! But am permitted to say
that Singapore has its biggest garri-
son in history and possibly has more
men than the Empire had in the
entire Malaga Peninsula few
months ago. British forces at their
peak in Malaga were estimated un-
officially at around $4,000 men,
These forces are using every min
ute, da yand night, to prepare for
a fight to the finish.
Heavy Guns Roar
The heavy guns on this besieged
island rained shells of all calibre
on the enemy troop and truck coll
umns and observation posts after the
Japanese had succeeded in fov-
ing up field artillery and started
peppering the north shore.
The British bombardment silenced
Japanese guns in their new en-
placements. dispatches have indi-
Gated that the British had succeed
ed in turning fixed guns protecting
the Singapore naval base so that
they could be fired against the main
land. These guns are up to IL
inches - probably the biggest in the
world - and could easily smash
any, artillery that the Japanese
might move down the Malaga Pc
ninsula If they could be used ef-
mectivelyD
The guns shelled positions all over
the Johore coast and British recon-
naissance planes reported the enemy
was moving heavy reinforcements
down the peninsula for an expected
frontal assault across the straits.

oil tanker set afire 48 hours ago by

Batavia Feb. 5--(UP)-Americar
evacuees from Singapore today told
how they escaped that beleaguered
city aboard a United States freight
er amid Japanese bombing attacks
which blasted the Singapore harbor
area and scored direct hit on All
American ship at the dock next to
theirs.
The freighter which evacuated
the group of II Americans-mostly
women and children but including
a few men-suffered several neal
misses but was not hit by the jap
anese bombs.
(American nurses and wounded
soldiers arriving in Australia aboard
the U. S. hospital ship Mactan from
Manila reported their ship was at
tackled nine times within a few
hours by Japanese piaflesJ.
The bombs began dropping as the
Americans were boarding the evacu-
alton ship. One bomb fell in street
near the dock, striking the automo
bile of DR.. and Mrs. r. l.. Archer,
u. S. missionaries of Pittsburgh.
Their chauffeur was killed but the
Archers had left the car to take
cover and escaped uninjured.
The refugees spent most of one
day aboard the ship in the harbor
before sailing. Several japanese
planes attacked the Singapore har-
Dor during this time. En- route to
Java the freighter was not attacked
but another allied ship only Two
hours steaming time behind 1t was
sunk by Japanese bomb.
The party is probably the last
group of Americans who will be re-
moved from Singapore. About so u.

mined to see it through.
