Fleet Tries
To Trop Jops

washington, Oct. i8.-(Up)-A
powerful American task force has
been sailing the Pacific seeking to
lure the Japanese fleet out for q
real fight.
This has been going on since last
January when, according to o Navy
report prepared for the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee, q strong
Japanese flete assembled at the
enemy base at Truk preparatory for
battle.
But at that time, the Japanese
Navy, which had suffered series
of costly defeats in q vain attempt
to drive the United Nations from
the Solomons, evidently got cold
feet and avoided q test of strength.
Since then, American task formes
have hit at Japanese bases in the
North Pacific and in the Central
Pacific 1000 miles Of Tokyo in an
effort to force the enemy into open
waters. AL these efforts, however,
have been futile.
Attacks have been made on abe
Japanese at Attu, the Marcus
Islands, Wake Islyand and in the
Gilberts.
The report, released last night,
was prepared by the Navy for the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee
and covered naval activities through
last June 80. Other reports on SUBJ
Seuuent actions were promised Tor
the future.

Farmers Do
Fine Job

Warrington, Oct. 1B-(UF)-
Farmers are filing Americas larder
with record supplies Of food for 1914
IN what the War Food Administra-
ton acclaimed today as noe Of the
most remarkable productio n
achievements OF the war.
Accurate food production reports
and estimates for 1913 assure civil.
ians o diet in 1914 about equal to
this year and better than In any
years except 1o4l and 1912, the VITA
said.
The Agriculture Department and
the VIA, summing up the 1914 civ.
ilian food outlook In a report on the
national food situation, said:
IAN abundant supply Of cereals;
as many chickens, eggs, fresh fruits
and vegetables, potatoes, beans and
peas as this year; food fats and oils
to maintain present ration allow
ances; fewer canned fruits and veg
etables In the first half Of 1914 but
more In the second: less red meats
and dairy products"
The larder Is being filled with
$4,000 ,0O0, 900 pounds Of meat, 120,-
COO. 100000 pounds of milk, $780,
100000 dozen eggs, 1000, 10000

600 bushels Of corn, 835, 900, 600
bushels of wheat, more potatoes,
s1De, beans, peas and peanuts than
ever before.
That achievement, WA officials
pointed out, was made despite la
Dor shortages, fewer new machines,
q cold spring and foods, delayed
paintings, and large areas hard-htt
by q late-summer drought.
But to the favorable outlook, VITA
added this note Of caution:
Civilians are not going to get all
the food they would like to buy. be-
cause "a purchasing power in ex-
cess Of supplies viii be at least as
high as this year, and Cd military
requirements may cut more sharply

can repatriates, thinned and subdued
by long months in Japanese prison
camps, today awaited transfer to an
exchange steamer that will return
them to the United States before
Christmas.
The Americans, along with about
800 Canadians and Latin Americans
enjoyed the limited freedom Of the
dockside area, passing within arms
length of crowds Of Japanese Ma
tionals with whom they are to be
exchanged.
The physical transfer of the Allied
citizens from the Teia Maru to the
Swedish exchange ship Gripsholm
was postponed from today until to-
morrow. ana in the interim the
repatriates from both sides were
permitted the liberty Of the dock
area.
1t was understood that the Grips
holm would sail for the United
States on or about Oct. 81, arriving
home In about IS days.
Arrangements for the transfer Of
the Allied group to the Grispholm
were progressing rapidly, but it was
learned that details Of the exchange
for the Japanese scarcely have be-

This correspondent met and talked
to friends from almost every country
In the Far East who were being ex-

to be in good health, but many Of
