HEADQUARTERS, Australia,
Sept. 15.- -tP)-The Japanese
killed their own badly wounded
so that no prisoners were taken
in the battle for Milne Bay,
where Allied forces crushed a
Japanese landing last month, a
senior allied officer reported to-
day.
The officer, who just returned
from the southeastern New
Guinea battlefield, described
the fight as divided into three
phases, each growing in fierce
ness until the climax.
In the first phase, the Japa-
nese landed naval force on the
north shore in the early morn
ing Of August 26 from a convoy.
In the second phase the Japa-
nese struggled for possession of
a vital air field strip from which
allied planes took off to bomb
and strafe the invaders.
The tide of battle may have
turned there, or the officer gave
the air force a great share in
the credit of repelling the in
vaSion.
The third and most vicious
stage was reached in the steam
ing jungles of the north PENN
sula after the Japanese had been
backed up into position from
which there was no escape.

MOSCOW, Sept. Is - (P -
Backs to the Volga, the defend

But even while the bomb
splattered city fought for its
life, the Red army kept up its
own logged punching at the
German defensive lines on the
Moscow front to the north, and
reported the humiliation of
about 1000 Germans and the
capture of fortified town in a
three day fight.
ARMORED UNITS STRIKE
Russian planes and Russian
tanks still played their part in
the fight to save Stalingrad -
badly outnumbered though they
were. And the Russians reported
that although '...cil lines sagged
again and again under terrific
onslaught, the German gains
now were being held to a costly
800 to 400 yards for a whole
days fighting.
Whole blocks of the city OF
Stain smouldered in bomb
strewn ruins. But the smoke of
war factories rose with the
smoke of devastation as workers
toiled within sound of firing
from the battleline to keep the
troops supplied.

from reinforcement and sup
