nese batteries on the Cavite shore
have remained silent. Today's COM
munique also failed to make any
mention Of aerial activity along the
lines.
Gen. Macarthur was believed to
have gained the formidable advant-
age in the 48 hours of constant at
tack on the Japanese lines by gain
ing much valuable information as
to the disposition of the enemy's
stronghold. No report of extent of
casualties has been received.
Despite the overwhelming superb
ority of the japanese forces, Gen.
Homma has shown no inclination to
make even the Semblance of a coun.
terattack. Officials here do not ex-
pect any such move from the Japa-
nese commander until his air force
has been greatly augmented.
Gen. Macarthur has announced
a $10,000,000 war relief program for
civilians in the Philippines, and
implied the funds might be distrib-
uted both in unoccupied territory
and in portions of the islands under
Japanese sway, the War Depart
ment announced yesterday.
Communique on Relief.
There was no clue as to how he
would make the program effective in
JapaneSe-occupied districts. The
communique said:
Gen. Macarthur has reported to
the War Department that he has
authorized the expenditure of $10,-
100000 in relief funds for immedi-
ate distribution to relieve suffering
and privation among the civilian
population in the Philippines, par
ticularly among the families of mill
tary personnel in the field. He has
set aside the sum of $2,500,00 for
the payment of gratitudes to widows
and orphans of officers and soldiers
killed in line of duty, the care and
rehabilitation of military personnel
permanently disabled, the relief of
families of those wounded in action,
and of the families of all military
personnel who may be in want.
"In addition, he has set aside
$2,500 900 for gratuities to families
of civilians killed or incapacitated
by enemy action. the care and re-
Mobilization of civilians wounded or
injured as a result of enemy action,
the relief of their families, and the
reconstruction of homes damaged
or destroyed by the enemy.
Gen. Macarthur said his action
was inspired by the outstanding
loyalty exhibited by Filipinos of all
classes, both in occupied and unoc-
cupied areas"

Dwight Davis Begins
Forming Army Corps
OF Special Talents
Skilled and Professional
Men Being Organized
Under Executive Order

Dwight r. Davis, q former Secre-
tary Of War and Governor General
Of the Philippines under two Repub-
lican administrations. has been
called in to head a new Specialist
Corps, 1t was announced late yester-
day, to marshall into the Army
trained civilians in professional,
labor and scientific fields.
Creation of the new unit was pro-
yided in an executive order just
signed by President Roosevelt, under
a plan that will establish the per-
sonnel under military control and in
distinctive uniform. The new corps
also will provide an organization to
which civilian employees of the War
Department in war areas may be
transferred. 1t was explained, so
that they may be entitled to the
same rights and privileges as sold
diers should they be made prisoners.
Mr.. Davis, who served as a colonel
In the World War and was decorated
for heroism in action, already has
taken up quarters in the Munitions
Building. His first business is to
organize the new corps and o later
announcement will be made when
it is ready to receive applicants for
service.
For Highly Skilled.
For the greater part the corps
will consist of civilians highly
skilled in scientific, technical, labor
and business pursuits. Military
knowledge and training is unneces-
sary as this Is intended as a civilian
corps, though uniformed.
In a large sense, Mr.. Davis will be
the War Departments laison off,
cial in placing these specialists in
necessary fields Of operation. Spe-
cialist Corps members, in many
cases. will release Army officers from
administrative posts to join combat
commands.
Except in special cases, the War
Department said, the appointments
will be made Of men over the active
draft age Civil Service facilities
will be utilized in helping to fll the
ranks.
Mr.. Davis has been at the War
Department several days and Is pre-
pared now to start the wheels of
the new unit moving.
Officer In World War.
Asioe from important govern
mental posts he has held since the
World War, he has taken a ma
tional part in recreation work and
Fairgrounds. He served with dis
tinction during the World War,
starting as captain in the 5th Mis-
souri, Infantry. He won the Army's
Distinguished Service Cross for lex
traordinary heroism" in operations
at Baulmy and Chaudron Farm, in
France.
He began a national career by
becoming director of the War FL
nance Corp. in 1921 and was given
the war post in the cabinet of Pres
ident Coolidge after serving as
assistant secretary. He served in
the Philippines during the Hoover
administration.

Landing Third Step.
The plan said that the second
step would be the reduction of Pam
anna and the United States Fleet,
with "the third period" beginning
with landing Of Japanese forces
on the Pacific Coast.
"The next course would be to
form the main line of defense along
the Rocky Mountains so that our
military troops might be massed in
the occupied areas along the coast.
Preparations made west Of the
Rockies, our army would now take
the offensive and advance toward
the East Coast. - The war would
last at least four or five years; it
might even drag out to last several
score years"
The report gave detailed accounts
of Japanese efforts to learn all details
OF the great Los Angeles water sys-
tenn, and of heavy Japanese residence
on Terminal Island in San Pedro
Bay, where movements of the
American Fleet could be watched by
Japanese fishermen" who in re-
ality were naval officers. The report
told also Of espionage and anti
American activities of ,JaDanese So
cieties and Japanese language
schools. 1t told of slow. thorough
work of the japanese in establish
ing themselves in California, espe-
cially the southern part, where they
were in close proximity to Army
and naval establishments, and of
the finding Of maps prepared by
the Japanese with all such defense
establishments carefully marked.

Blue Lights Use
Held InodvisobIe
In BIuckouts

Civilian defense officials an
nounced today they have been ad-
vised by the War Department
against the use Of blue lights for
illumination during blackouts, on
the ground the blue illumination is
more easily seen from the air by ex-
perienced observers and less helpful
to ground activity than any other
color.
Col. Bolles made public the memo
randum on receipt and indicated
that local authorities would go along
with it although it has not yet been
officially acted upon by Defense
Co-ordinator John Russell Young
The recommendation from the
War Department., he said, supersedes
instructions released earlier by As
sistant Chief Air Raid Warden John
j. Hasley which permitted the use
of small blue lights in a limited
number for necessary outside IL

fight. The United States Navy
said it knew none of the results

The Java Sea lies between the
island of Java, last Allied strong
hold in the Netherlands Indies. and
Borneo. where the japanese have
landed.
There are two likely approaches
for the japanese, now that Singa-
pore has fallen. Their warships
might have entered the sea by the
Macassar Strait, to the east of
Borneo, or by sailing between Su-
matra and Borneo, to the northwest
of Java.
With many thousands" of United

in Java, the island has been prepar-
