Emphasis on individual training is
the most important, Men must be
trained to operate independently, cut
off from continuous instruction and
orders from their superior officers.
Each trooper must learn to be suffi-
cient unto himself versed in use of
the compass, and equipped materially
and mentally to operate for extended
periods away from his comrades and
officers.
Need for this was particularly
stresses by Col. Merritt A. Edison, com
manting officer of the Fifth Marines,
who states: IF had to train my reg
iment over again, would stress small
groups training and the training of
the individual even more than we did
when we were in training"
Small details were found neces-
sary in training; study Of enemy bal
listic sounds, ability to walk through
the jungle without making noise, prac-
tice in stalking.
Careful study of our own jungle
equipment is still being made, with J
view to tightening weight and increas-
ing praticability. Our uniforms, for
instance, were often found to be too
heavy for the heat Of the jungle
Field shoes were found to be too stiff,
and insufficient pockets provided in
clothing.
Countless changes in training have
been adopted and put into use, among
troops in the area but removed from
the front. Combat lessons are still be-
ing studied and restudied on the
basis Of actual experience here on
Guadalcanal
But with all these innovations, the
most powerful weapon yet devised
against the enemy is the jungle,
whether it be in the Solomons or in
Burma, is knowledge. knowledge and
understanding of japanese fighting
tactics can do more to instil conf
dence and bring victory than any
other one factor. The next campaign
will prove this, just as the Marines
proved it in their greatest campaign
to date. around Henderson Field.

times with savage information, but
does nothing that is revolutionary.
Japanese troops are trained in imi-
tating bird calls, and employed this
ruse to establish identity and position
many times during the fighting here.
The antidote was simply to learn the
original, and the imitation was soon
spotted. . Our own system Of inter
communication between troops at the
trent had to be drastcally revised.
With a wholesome respect for Am
erican automatic weapons, the enemy
frequently resorts to noise to draw
fire and expose gun positions. This
he does by firing rifles in the air,
shouting, beating sticks together,
and using other disuacting methods.
When guns open fire on the noise, the
japanese quietly attempt to flank
the position and wipe it .Fmecrack-
ers, bamboo sticks and luminous
paint were the Instruments used.
These tactics worked only so long
as our troops confined to fire mdis-
criminately at any noise Once they
learned to wait for a defite TARGET.
the noise had little effect For their
own night firing, the Japanese use
fashIess. smokeless powder.
Using pyrotechnics to indicate di-
rection and position. the Japanese

concerted attack with small groups
Of tightly packed troops, presentin

tacls, but American resistance forced
their abandonment. Having limited
detectives, it was sometimes possible
for our troops merely to withdraw

effectiveness.

war conquests.
What did the Marines learn on Hill
27, on the Sea Horse Ridge, on Mt.
Austen and on the shores of Kokom-
bona? 1t is safe to say that regard
less Of where the Japanese are struck
next, be it in the South Pacific, the
East Indies, or in Burma, the cam
paign will be in the Jungle. What have
our troops learned about japanese
Jungle fighting, and what lessons will
assure that our next big push will be
a success?
The answer is not so simple, be-
cause part Of the lesson is just SIM
pie confidence. the elements Of which
are not so adaptable to description
many more tangible things have been
learned, but which cannot be men
toned, lest they disclose our own in
telligence But a few Of the lessons
can be listed.
Number one on the lesson sheet is
the overcoming Of fear. Fear was one
of the earliest and biggest obstacles
in the jungle-a fear which surpasses
the ordinary brand of "battle fright
experienced in other combat areas
Its PRONUNCIATION was one Of the most
potent of enemy weapons. 1t is I'M
doubtedly the key to Japanese tactics.
Typically, this fear is combatted
with knowledge, and understandings
and this was found to be the most eff
fective counterweapon. This, and an
effort to instil calm confidence among
the men.
Contradicting the once popular
propaganda theme for instance that
the Japanese soldier is invincible, a
campaign was Immediately begun to
indoctrinate troops with the idea that
they were just as good if not better
than their opponents As one Marine
commander puts it: "The Japanese is
no superman; he has the same limita-
tons that Americans have. He has
nothing that cannot he bettered with
proper training"
Careful study Of japanese tactics
determined that the enemy has not
"thrown away the book" as earlier
suspected. He simply employs basic
tactics He has merely adapted these
tactics and his equipment to the pecu-
liar difficulties such as terrain OBJ
stacles found in the Jungle He takes
advantage, at the same time, Of Ger
tain features Of terrain such as the
use Of deep, wooded gullies, into which
he digs in" with a tenacity requiring
powerful attack to route him out, This
was the case many times on Guadal-
canal
Just over the Matinikau River it is
still possible to see the battle-scarred
ravine where the Japanese dug in so
tenaciously in fox holes under tree
roots that hand grenades, artillery,
fire, burning oil drums and even dyn-
amte would not bulge him.
1t finally took determined patrol
attacks at high cost to break up that
sector There is still grim evidence
scattered around that gully.
Number two on the japanese cata-
logue of jungle fighting is the use Of

THE ART OF WAR IN THE JUNGLE
BY GORDON WALKER In The Christian seepc, ,rocit,r
Guadalcanal.

wUNGLE FIGHTING is d lot like
football; you cannot take part sue
cessfully until you know all the
rules and q few tricks besides.
Like modern football, fighting in the
dense. superhoated bush is an exact
art-one which requires exhaustive
blackboard" work, prestudy, and in
tense application. 1t holds no myster-
les. Analysed in the light Of exper-
fence CLEANED from the iungles here,
it is both natural and logical.
Just as football is a specialized
branch Of sports, Jungle combat is a
specialized branch Of military tao
ties. Roughly defined, it is the utili-
cation Of rules of basic military tao
tics. upon which has been superim-
posed an entirely new series Of tacti-
cal adaptations. Where the analogy
ends is that when the "ball is carried"
on some tropical island field" they
play for keeps,
The tactical adaptations would not
work on the steppes Of Russia, or
vice versa 1t is new version Of
fighting which had to be learned en-
pirically.
1t had to be learned the hard way,
by studying lessons Of Malaga and
the Philippines, evolving counter tao

know-who are following Mr.. Sim
atra The pack, or posse, must in
clude every one on the Hollywood
newspaper. or syndicate, staffs at
one time or another.
The police reporter is dragged
away from the municipal sin sheet
which he is paid to watch like a
hawk because the best story on the
sheet. is the mobbing of Mr.. Sinatra
by fans who show their affection for
him by shredding his collars, tearing
his ties and otherwise reducing him
to a few rags. The sob sister, who
retains her title in spite of the fact
that she has not sobbed since she
was 8, plants herself In the Holly
wood bowl and tries to tune in on
the emotional earthquake going on
around her. The editorial writer
tears off his Windsor tie and rips the
stuffing out of his shirt with the
feeling that here is blot on the
'scutcheon of his day that must be
removed before he can go back to
his old undrugged sleep. The copy
editor, the most imperturbably fig
ure in journalism, lays aside his
lethargy to slap a headline on the
latest Sinatra bulletin so he can go
back to thinking his ornately morbid
thoughts on the follies and tastes of
his era.
*.* y
Mr.. Sinatra is news, you see, the
best piece of escape entertainment
the Hollywood press has hit upon
since December 7. 1941. when the
need for escape entertainment began
to be acute.
His merits in this respect began to
be visible in New York several
weeks ago. Even then he was rec
ognized as good copy If he could
only be brought under the right
date line. Had he not sung his way
into the heart of womankind, not
because he was vocally magnificent
or because he was visually perfect,
but because the heart of woman-
kind is what it is-inexplicable?
The answer to that question was
an almost shrieking affirmative.
That being the case, the only thing
left to the press agent for Mr..
Sinatra was to find the proper date
line which could only be Hollywood.
So the Sinatra troup move there
and the success of the venture is en-
phasized from hour to hour-much
less DAY 20 day-by a new story
about the young man, or new pic
ture which shows him learning to
be an actor under the auspices of
RKO for which he will make his
first picture, Higher and Higher" +"
The build-up of an actor or singer
has not been so intense within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant.
And, whatever his second picture
may turn out to be, the success of
Sinatras first is already assured.
What are these Kharkovs, Bry-
ansks, Messinas and Poelstris as
compared with this Sinatra and
