Aleutians Occupation
Discovered 10 Days Later

Ten days later hostile task
force of cruisers and transports
was discovered at Kiska Island,
suggesting the probability that
the enemy, having retired out Of
range of our aircraft, had occu-
pied kiska with troops initially
destined for an assault on Dutch
Harbor. Attu Island and Agattu
Island were also discovered 10
have been occupied by the enemy
-Strategieally. the occupation of
these barren islands was of COM
paratively small Importance eX-
cept for the possibility of ipfiltra-
tons along the island chain which
might eventually permit the enemy
to operate gaffSt-odf- sea routes
along the southwestern coast of
Alaska.
PSychologicallv- this hostile ee-
cupatlon was productive OF serious
repercusSionS IN our Pacific North
west. 1t was decided, however.
in view of our almost fatal limi-
tations in ships, planes and trained
troops at this time 10 maintain
the situation in the central, south
and southwest Pacific, no immedi-
ate action would be undertaken
to recapture KiSka and Attu.
Measures were taken. however,
to bring these islands within
effective air range Of our combat
craft. Advanced airheldS were
developed by troops landed on
Adak Aug. 81, 1912 from which
the first mass raid against KiSka
was launched on Sept. Ia.
The japanese air forces in the
KiSka region were soon destroyed
and his attempts TO reinforce the
garrison were rendered relatively
ineffective by the destruction of
his shipping en- route TO kiSka.

TO THE EDITOR:

WHY have not more police Of
W ficers been suspended?
Two Negro policemen have
been suspended allegedly for
not helping 10 stop 500 Negroes
who rushed out of dance hall
upon hearing a false rumor that
"A Negro MpmaH-Had beeH-ki4led
by white people.
If the suspension and charges
against these men mean that
the law enforcement agents are
really going after the police Of
ficerS who neglected their duty
during the riot then Our police
department will be cleaned up.
The oath of a policemen is a
very sacred thing. In the oath

The two Negro policemen now
under suspension may have been
guilty of not living up TO their
oathS.
If that is true. it is up to the
proper authorities 10 decide the
punishment for these two Of
llCerS.
Negroes ought not 10 jump to
conclusions about the guilt or
innocence of these two police
men. They have excellent rec

What every Detrolter should
be concerned about is whether
the suspension and c h argos
against these two policemen
prcSage a program on the part
of the prosecutors office and
the police department to punish
all the officers who failed TO act
according to their sworn duty.
There is an abundance of EVIL
dcncc that other officers did not
live up to their oath Of office.
The names Of these officers
are known. their negligence Of
duty is known.
Unless these officers are SuS-
pended and brought 10 justice,
there is only one conclusion for
the right thinking people of De-
troit TO reach; namely, that the
prosecutors office and the police
officials are seeking further TO
disrupt and mar the good name

Bases still farther west were
required TO strengthen our air
position in the Aleutians. ConSe-
quently in January. 1913, an Amer
lean task force landed unopposed
on Amchitka. SO miles east Of
kiSka. In less than a month the
fighter strip had been developed
and our aircraft were operating
from this advanced base against
kiSka and Attu.

Points to Tremendous
Increase in II. S. Power

During the past two years the
enlisted strength OF the army has
been increased by 100000 men;
the officer corps has grown from
$4,000 TO $4,000. Included in
these figures is The development
of an air force of 1872 900 officers
and 10000 men.
Expansion as to time and num-
bers, having in mind the technical
requirements Of modern warfare.
has been without precedent. For
example, the expansion of the
service units for the army air
forces has been approximately
u 600 per cent. and that of the
air forces proper about $500 per
cent. The corps of engineers has
been increased by 1000 per cent.
This tremendous expansion re-

Negro between two officers, and
while that Negro is supposedly
being escorted to safety, the
mob attacks him.
The policemen are shown in
this photograph walking non

this Negro individual.
These police officers have
been identified, their names Ere
known. and yet nothing has
come to the public showing that
the prosecutors office and the
police department are proceed
ing against them for a violation
OF their oath of office.
If the two suspended officers
violated their oath, surely the
officers in this photograph vio-
lated their oath of office also.
1t makes no difference then,
therefore, whether the police Of
ficer happens to be white or
black. If it can be shown that
by his actions or inactionS dur
