The M. P.s asked us, Where did

The M. P.s were understandable
skeptical. "Oh, yes, of course" they
said. And where are the two cap

had lost our captains. A trip to the
guardhouse was in order. When the
al-clear sounded we went back and
got Annalee from her shelter down
by the water front and reported to
the guardhouse.
Our interrogation turned out to
be Capt. Benson Of Pittsburgh, and
we quickly became friends. Benson
was big and handsome, with high
color and dimpled chin-the type

CHAPTER XVII.

CHAPTER XVII.
There was sudden and startling
change in the tone of the morning
USAFFE communique on December
80. Colonel Harries handed it to
us at II AM. 1t said, ominously
Enemy dive bombers control the
roads in nothern Luzon." Our
forces had withdrawn from Lin
gayen Gulf and the battle line
ran through zaragoza, IS miles
north Of Manila. The enemy forces
advancing from the south reached
Luisiana and Dolores, 45 air miles
southeast of the capital.
The people of Manila were fright
ened. Up until then the communi-
ques, although reporting Japanese
advances, had been optimistic. For
all the people knew, we were win
ming the war and the bombing OF
Manila was something to be endured
due to the temporary absence OF
pursuit planes. Of course, our pur-
suit forces would be replenished
shortly. Help was on the way!
That afternoon the USAFFE COM
munique went back to the old line
1t asserted: Our forces are holding
firmly on all fronts" Next morn
ing's papers said the same thing
and even on New Year Day the
people of Manila did not know that
there were no forces in front oi
them either to the north or south.
I determined to go to the south
ern front in the morning to check
on how close the japanese advance
units were to the city and whether
the road to the coast through Cavite
was still open.
At 7:30 on December 81 I went
to USAFFE and found Col. Will
liam Marquat on the second floor
studying maps. The big cffice
was nearly deserted and there were
evidences of preparation for further
departures-papers stacked in boxes
packed suit cases being stripped
bare.
asked Col Marquat whether
I should drive on down south ano
see the front for myself.
IF you do," he said, "it will bt
the last thing you will see. The
Japs are at Pasay, which is only &
few miles from Nichols Field. They
are definitely on the Batangas roae
and the road to Tagaitay. Dont
go!"
I fully realized then that we die
not intend to make a flight fol
Manila. The situation became en-.
tirely clear.
I drove back to the office al
rapidly as possible and told Cronir
the story. He had some information
of his own-the wireless stations
were to be dynamited by the Army
at 1l:30 am. and all communica
tions with the outside world woule
cease. 1t was decided to try to in.

Japanese were knocking at the gate
of Manila and the city would fal

me with having gone to the south

our status was.
A friend at court was urgently
needed. He appeared in the person
of Maj. Diller subsequently twice
promoted and hereafter Col. Diller,
aide to Gen. Macarthur and public
relations officer and censor during
the brief USAFFE interval in Ma
Mia. Col. Diller. when we encoun-
tered him in the big tunnel during
the second AFRAID alarm of the
morning, was astonished to see u,
but friendly. He wasn't sure at frst
whether We could remain on Cor
regidor but he would be glad to give
us transportation to Mariveles.
For some reason, Mariveles sud-
denly became the place where We
least wanted to be. We guessed that
once we were up in the woods we
would be completely out of touch
with everything, with no possibility
of getting any stories out and with
nothing 70 eat but coconuts-if any
grew there. Corregidor was fast be-

body looked we'll fed and the tunnel
seemed likely place to sit out air
raids. During the next few days,
whenever an M. P. suddenly threat
ened us with deportation to Mari
veles, Col. Diller would come to bat
for us with instructions to :.give
them time to complete their ar
rangements with the captains"
We never managed to make ar
rangements with the captains, but

til Gen. Macarthur was informed of
our presence on the island and regu-
larized our status. Macarthur saw
that we got uniforms and had us

OUTDOORS

AS long as fishing, baseball and
other sports are permitted on Sun
days in Maryland, consideration
should be given the plea of Free
State war workers for Sunday shoot
ing, providing a weekday is set aside
as a rest period for the birds and
game.
This question, however, concerns
the farmer, and he is unalterably
opposed to Sunday shooting. 1t is
doubtful if the Maryland Legisla-
ture-and it does not convene again
until 1945-could muster half enough
strength to pass such law. BY that
time it may be that conditions again
will be normal, and there will be no
need to bring up this highly con-
troversial issue.
In the meantime, there Is dis
agreement among the sportsmen's
organizations in the three counties
Of Western Maryland, where they
believe the general hunting seasons
that will obtain this fall will place
them at a disadvantage. 1t might
be that the new Maryland League
of Sportsmens Organizations can
work out a solution to this prob
lem. but it is doubtful, because the
seasons there are at variance with
those obtaining in the eastern coun-
ties. A general season, however, has
been found more desirable in States
where it has been tested.
How much good the laws passed
by the last Maryland Legislature
for the control of marine fisheries
will do remains to be seen. While
the Tidewater Fisheries now have
the authority to work with the Vir-
ginia Commission, many persons
wonder whether their differences
over oystering and Grabbing will not
| be too great to surmount, so that
regulations may be promulgated for
a better and more conservative con-
| troll.
During the past 10 weeks there
have been stocked in Maryland
tidewater streams in excess of ESQ.,
600 900 yellow perch. Now there are
few waters where this fine sports
fish does not flourish. The yellow
perch in Maryland, however, is first
and last a commercial proposition

NEW YORK, June 16.-You can't
get clear picture of the 1943 foot
ball situation unless you can work
a slide rule numbered with multiple
AIS and various naval insignia such
as Viz, plus a sparse combination
of Army and Marine emblems.
Although the first blocking and

the season already has developed
more inconsistencies than a Hitler

To mention a few. Harvard has
dropped the sport. but Yale, sister
member of the Big Three, has ar
ranged 10-game program and Is

gers, which helped Princeton intro
duce the sport to the United States

selected new coach and are de-
termined to go ahead
Because majority of the Eastern
schools are in densely populated
areas, transportation problems
shouldn't create the same havoc
as in other districts, but the travel
situation is one of the reasons
Georgetown won't have a team for
the first time in As years.
Big, Beefy Teams Scrapped.
This is the area that houses the
United States Military, Naval and
Coast Guard academies and all
three have announced that they
will put teams on the field although
Coach Earl Blaik of West Point
says that big, beefy teams are out
and alert. swift machines averaging
ITS pounds a man will be the new
order.
Not only will Army and Navy
compete, but there already is agita-
tion that their annual collision,
hidden in the Middies' tiny stadium

Others who assert they will field

City Short On Water

The prolonged period of good weather has resulted in wates shortage for almost all downtown business houses and for resi- dences throughout the city.
 The Log Waffle Shop and the Island Fountain have closed and many other places are operating by hauling water. Many homes that drew water at night to last through the day now have no water available even during the night. Many, too, are forced to go without heat because of hot water coils in stoves and furn- aces.
 The military has supplied 8 water truck to enable the hosp ital to keep open, and yesterday a military water truck was sta toned in front of the deputy U. S. Maeshals office for public use.
 Light showers Wednesday and Thursday evenings brought no relief.
