SEA BATTLES:
For Land Goals

Around Guadalcanal in the Solo
mons and around the island of New
Guinea in the southwest Pacific a
continuation Of the .'double-bar-
relied" strategy on both sides fea-
tured the U. Slap struggle for
these footholds. It was the strategy
Of sea forces trying to coordinate
their activity with that of the land
units fighting each other in fierce
jungle struggles.
Every time the Japs would try
and land additional re-inforcements
for their hard pressed armies at
these two points, the U. S. feet
would rush in to smash up these
landing attempts.
Meanwhile the U. S. strategy was
having little more success by land
ing a huge AEF on New Zealand.
Where and when this army would
eventually make its stand was of
course a military secret, but the
armchair" strategists believed it
was headed to relieve the marines
and army fighters on Guadalcanal.
General MacArthur's problem of
rounding up the Japs in New Guinea
was accomplished only by the slow
est kind Of fighting were
figured in yards and feet. But as
they retreated, the enemy had not
far to go until he reached the sea.
Biggest question marks was wheth-
er or not the u. S. feet could spare
the ships to smash Jap evacua-
ton attempts.

NO HIBERNATION:
On Russian, Steppes

When Russia's armies first struck
back at the Germans In the opening
round Of the winter offensive on that
front it looked as If the Nazis had
decided to dig in and hibernate until
spring would come and the going
would be easier. But after these
first thrusts by the Russians, the
Hitler troops came to life and on ev-
cry front "counterattack" was the
key word in even the Moscow re-
ports of the fighting.
Despite this, the Russians said
that in single week they had de-
stroyed 1872 German planes and had
succeeded in ''repulsing" these
strong Nazi counterattacks. The is
sue was far from settled.
In fact, on the first anniversary Of
last years counter offensive before
Moscow, the Russians extended this
years winter campaign deep into
the Caucasus. In this sector, as
around Stalingrad, there was great
loss of German life and the Rus
SLAMS claimed thousands of prison
ers were taken.
