A hidden japanese shore battery
suddenly spouted fire. They had
held back, waiting for us to get
under close range. We were only
100 yards off the beach. The boat
just ahead was NJ. A gaping hole
appeared in its bulkhead and that
lone marine died trying to carry
forward as the boat drifted helpless

The eight minute attack ended
and marines tumbled into waist

us and japanese mortars plopped

AIR RAIDS EXPENSIVE

NSdCTdIleIlo bSSJ
Some idea of the magnitude of aerial
operations may be gained from Presl-
dent Roosevelt's explanation of what it
takes to send $50 planes on a raidmg mis-
sion over Germany.
He enumerated them as follows: 2,5O0,-
600 pounds of bombs. 2,750,000 rounds of
ammunition, 800 pounds of maps, a total
flight of $4,000 miles, 400 miles Of
land travel in taxing, nearly 100000
gallons of gasoline and 5000 we'll trained
crew members.
The Presidents list could be expanded.
What about the manpOWer to manufac-
turc the planes, the material which went
into their construction, the ships which
brought the supplies from home, the
ground military personnel necessary to
maintain the aircraft. etc?
However, his figures are sufficient in
themselves to impress any reader. They
should make the average American keen
ly aware of why he is not allowed as
much gasoline as formerly or why taxa
tion has been stepped up and up with
the end not yet in sight.

left her pier today for the first time

In those years the great ship had

Twenty tugs towed the great grey

speed OF two knots. Navy authori-

closure that she was going to dry
dock, presumably for further check

SEEM DOOMED

Even i'll this area, however, the
Russians were advancing irresist-
IDLY, and a large portion OF the
German force seemed doomed to
destruction.
The Russians near the Dnieper
estuary had advanced nearly 1875
miles to the west in the 10 days
since the fall of Melitopol, gateway
to the Nogaisk steppes, in what
probably was the most rapid thrust
ever made by the Red army.
Russian artillery was laying down
crushing barrage across the lower
Dnieper on both sides of Kakhovka
in apparent preparation for a Soviet
thrust to the north to close trap
in the Dnieper bend on the big
gest German army since Stalingrad.

steppe villages and stormed and oc-
cupied Kakhovka after a days

of Kherson. other Russian forces
