Report On Kiska, Segula

Saturday (R)-The Navy an- nounced that landings were made on the narrow beaches of Kiska August 15 and that no Japanese were found. There were indications the Japanese had only recently fled their positions laboriously built in the rocky terrain.
 The communique said "pre- sumably the heavy lombard ments of our ships and planes carried on for some time, and the danger to their supply lines by our capture of Attu, had made the enemy positions ou Kiska untenable."
 Those bombardments, which had been unreported for the past three weeks, were among the heaviest ever made on enemy positions in the Pacific. Army and Navy bombing planes dur ing the period from August l to August IA struck l06 times, dropping ton after ton of bombs. Surface units joined in the pounding of Kiska, standing off shore hurling shells from big guns onto the island in 15 separ- ate bombardments.
 How the Japs escaped from Kiska under the heavy bombings and bombardments was unex- plained. The Navy said, how ever, that it was possible that surface ships, taking ad- vantage of heavy fogs in the North Pacific, slipped in and evacuated remnants of the gar rison, estimated at one time to include 10000 Jap troops.
 Explaining the 8 weeks silence in the Aleutians the Navy said air and surface bombardments in the latter part of July de stroyed Jap radio equipment, kiska off from commun- cations with the enemy's home and. Any mention of the pro- gress of the campaign, the Navy continued, would have convey ed information to the enemy he otherwise would not have had"

to see the Great World What
should he do? What could he do?
He thought Of slipping out on the
opposite side from the one where
Old Man Coyote was at work, but
If he did he wouldn't know where
to go, and unless there was another
hiding place very near Old Man
Coyote would be sure to smell his
tracks and run him down. He was
in fix. terrible fix, and all be-
cause he was In a strange place.
Still he was sorely tempted to run
and take a chance. You see Danny
is quite like other folks; the first
thing they think of when greatly
frightened is to run away. 1t was
just so with Danny, He just had
to hold on to himself to keep from
running.
1t was lucky he did, very lucky
Abruptly Old Man Coyote stopped
tearing at the brush and Danny
heard his footsteps as he ran swiftly
around to the other side. Danny
understood just what that meant,
Danny had so nearly done, and he
was running around now to see If
Danny had run out. That settled
the matter for Danny; he would
stay right where he was. In a
minute Old Man Coyote was back
tearing at the brush again. For
a minute or two he worked with all
his might. Then ran around again
to see if Danny had been frightened
out.
"1ll get you If you rum" said he,
I'll get you If you stay;
You may as well make up your
mind
You'll never get away"
Perhaps he's right, whimpered
Danny to himself, but while there's
life there's hope. He hasn't got
me yet"
Then for the first time he noticed
something which he had been too
frightened to notice before. It was
a little ridge of earth and it was
soft as If recently pushed up from
beneath. It took Danny just about

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS,

"Ah-h-h!" exclaimed Old Man
Coyote as he shifted along the edge
of the pile of brush under which
Danny Meadow Mouse had stopped
to rest on his way to see the Great
World.
Fee. fl, TO, Fun!" said he.
THAT smell is good to me.
Unless I'm very wrong
A Mouse has been along.
There's nothing quite SO fine
On which I'd like to dine.
Come out, you little sinner!
I want you for my dinner"
But Danny Meadow Mouse didn't
come out. No, stree! That was an
invitation he had no desire to ac-
cept. He just crept farther in, and
he shivered and shook as he heard
Old Man Coyote sniff and sniff
along the edge of the pile of brush
Danny didn't know anything about
that pile Of brush. He didn't know
bow big it was, for he hadn't taken
particular notice when he slipped
under it to rest. Old Man Coyote
might be able to pull 1t all apart,
and il he could and should why
then-Danny shivered some more at
the mere thought of what would be
likely to happen then. 1t didn't
make him feel any better to hear
Old Man Coyote say:
Come out, you Danny Meadow
Mouse! Come out!
Ill get you any way beyond a
doubt"
Perhaps it was true that Old Man
Coyote would get him anyway, but
Danny intended to make it as hard
work for him as he could. He was
shivering and shaking so with fright
that his teeth chartered, but he
wouldn't for the world let Old Man
Coyote know that Danny had
learned long since that no matter
how frightened you are 1t is al
ways best to appear unafraid, 50
in his funny little voice he boldly
squeaked:
Its of no use for you to try to
get me, Mr.. Coyote. You will just
be wasting your time"
Old Man Coyote chuckled and the
sound Of that chuckle sent more
little shivers all over Danny.
Perhaps you're right. Perhaps
you're wrong.
Well find out which ere very long"
said he, and began to tear at the
brush and scatter it in all direc-
tions.
Poor Danny Meadow Mouse. He
wished with all his heart that he
had been content to stay at home
instead Of going forth adventuring
