Stachouwer, also reiterated an
appeal for endorsements, say
ing in a broadcast declaration
that additions to our equip
ment would still be welcome"
HARD FIGHT AHEAD
Stachouwer urged the men of
the N.E.I. armed forces and civil
ians particularly in Java, to
stand firm in the hard fight that
is ahead of U.s."
1--WE will fight with all the
power in u.s." he added.
The representative of Queen
Wilhelmina in the Orient, whose
five-year term as head man of
the East Indies was extended in
definitely last September be-
cause of the japanese danger,
told the beleaguered islanders
that there is on Java strong
army with an air force and that
the Dutch fleet fights on "thc
offensive principle"
Discussing the impending at
tack on Java, he said:
This time the enemy broad
casting stations speak the truth.
The moment approaches when
the all-out attack will be
launched on our main island.
The situation in Java is en-
tirely different from that in the
outer provinces. Putting a
strongly superior force up
against the Dutch forces on Java
will be much more difficult.
1--WE face the coming military
operations with faith and an iron
will. Beating off the enemy,
holding out, maintaining our
positions, are conceptions which
have come to have a new sense
of grimness, hitherto unknown,
"A will for offensive opera
tions must be in us to push
ahead every time an opportun-
ity offers"
The Dutch announced yester-
day that the japanese had over
run part Of Bali, to the east of
Java, occupying the airport of
Denpasar, on the southeastern
part of the island only 70 miles
from the nearest point in Java.
To the west of Java, on Su-
matra, the Dutch and their allies
were fighting delaying actions
against the Japanese, it was re-
ported.

predecessors served under a

I spotted the last she'll at
7:35 pm.

the surface. It started to get twi-
light. I watched it as long as
could distinguish its form and
then it grew dark. l. didn't sub

TRAFFIC HALTED
Traffic along the coast high
way. No. 101. was halted be-
cause of the blackout and Army
guards kept the curious from
approaching the scene Of the at
tack.
Brown said Barnsdall's main
absorption plant, almost on the
beach, seemed to be the subma-
rine's objective. Bankline and
Rio Grande Oil companies also
have leases in this. the Ellwood
Field. Wells extend out into the
Pacific to form one of the larg-
est submarine oil fields in the
western hemisphere, but the
submersible made no attempt to
destroy these.
One of the shells whistled
three miles inland to the Teco-
lote ranch, where it exploded.
Another cleared the highway
and burst in foothills. Others
fell short, on the beach.
Brown said "some of the
shells landed awfully close" to
the absorption plant, Throwing
up geysers of dirt and sand near
the building. There must have
been 20 or Is men working in
the field and nobody was in
jured. Their shooting wasn't
very good"
FELT CONCLUSION
Lawrence Wheeler, proprietor
OF an inn north of the oil field,
said he and his patrons felt con-
cussion of the Smelling but "some
soldiers, who were in my place,
said it was probably just target
practise"
A bit later. they heard that
the Field was being attacked and
rushed out. Wheeler said they
saw the submarine "and flashes
of the gun as it went off. One
shell whined over my head"
The blackout tied up traffic
Is miles or more inland and was
reported 100 percent effective
by officers.
At midnight. shortly before

Make 1t q Success

A clear understanding of the pur-
pose of tonight's blackout may help
to produce the 100 per cent CO.
operation from property owners
which will make it a success. In
backing out your home this evening,
forget afraid alarms. For the type
of blackout ordered for tonight is
not necessarily connected with air.
raid alarms. If you hear the raid
sirens tonight it will be the real
thing. Tonight's blackout, which is
experimental and for training pur-
poses only, may be followed this
spring by the real thing. And the
real thing might be prompted, for
instance, by news Of enemy air
plane carriers in the Atlantic, not
necessarily by the report Of enemy
planes on the horizon.
1t is entirely conceivable that the
whole East Coast Of the United States
may be blacked out for weeks at a
time later on. In preparation for
that possibility, property owners
must forget the thought Of merely
turning out lights during a raid
alarm. They must be able to adjust
their living at home, and the conduct
of normal business operations in
their Offices, under blackout condi-
tions over an extended period-with
or without actual AFRAID alarms.
Whether one likes it or not, the time
has come in Washington to get down
to the serious business of real black
out preparations. If tonight's expert
ment is successful, there will be less
need to repeat it.
The Federal departments have
made little preparation and will not
be able to take part in the trial The
same thing-with few exceptions
Is true of the District government
buildings. This is not merely unfor-
tunate, 1t Is most reprehensible.
officials should set an example for
the people and not be laggard. The
next blackout should find the Gov
ernment and District buildings as
well prepared as the citizens. 1t
should not find the brilliantly lighted
public buildings mocking, by their
disregard, the whole purpose of the
test.

Free French Oceanic

The arrangement made by our
Government with the Free French
authorities in Frances South Pacific
colonies is an important step in
assuring our sea communications IN
that part of the world. Those colo
nies were among the first to eSpouse
the movement headed by General
Charles de Gaulle after the collapse
of France in the summer of 1910, and
they have worked in harmonious CO.
operation with Britain and her
dominions ever since. Locally, there
fore, Americas agreement to help
defend these colonies and to deal
exclusively with the Free French
authorities there is an act both logi-
cal and mutually beneficial to all
parties concerned.
A glance at the map of the Pacific
Ocean instantly reveals the strategic
importance of French Oceania, which
consists of two widely separated
possessions Of primal interest Is
New Caledonia, a large island $50
miles long by 30 miles broad, with an
area exceeding that of Massa-
chusetts. 1t is veritable treasure
house of minerals, especially nickel,
but it's natural wealth is enhanced
by its strategic position only 900
miles from Australia and on the
commercial route between Australia,
Hawaii and the United States. With
Japan overrunning the Solomon Is
lands, less than a thousand miles
to the northward, there has been an
increasing danger that the japanese
might try an invasion of New Gale
donia. American aid had thus be-
come imperative.
The other portion of French Oce-
ania is an island-studded block OF
ocean about 1000 miles square, far
out in the South Pacific, the best
known island groups being the
Marquesas and Society archipelagoes
with far-famed Tahiti as the center
of authority. While not Immediately
exposed to japanese attack, this
French possession lies on the direct
route between the Panama Canal
and Australia, which is another i'm
portant line of communication across
the Pacific and hence needs to be
safeguarded.
BY recognizing the Free French
authorities in Oceania as being 'in
effective control" there, Washington
has taken no new diplomatic step.
It has dealt similarly with the Free
French authorities in Central At
rica, who also support General de
Gaulle. This is what diplomacy
terms "de facto" recognition-an
acknowledgment of existing POLITICAL
conditions for practical purposes. It
does not mean any lessening or i'm
pairment of our "de jure" recognition
OF the Vichy government in France
