Marines Seal Jai'|IpIlIs;!; IA IlI;!; :
In Guam Caves With
Dynamite Charges

The following dispatch has
been received from Tech. Sergt.
jeremiah A. O'Leary, 1922 Quincy
street NE. member OF The
Stars editorial stat, sotU on mill
tary leape NTH the marines.
GUAM Delayed The japanese
defenders of Guam have honey
combed the rocky face Of the island
with hundreds Of caves and each
cave took its toll Of Americans.
This underground defense system
u neither Of recent origin nor was
1t haphazardly laid out. The caves,
cut out Of solid granite and coral
rock, are strategically located to
cover other excavations. Guam is
laced with many ravines and every
ravine has its quota Of caves.
When We advanced into Jap terri
tory, the enemy soldiers scuttled
back into their caves Sometimes
We blasted them with fiame-throw-
ers, but some Of the caves were too
deep and tortuous to be cleaned out
with flame. We could not pass
these caves; the japanese came out
at nightfall and roamed about our
lines trying to kill and destroy be-
fore they themselves were killed.
Caves Blasted Shut.
The marines, however, worked out
an effective antidote for the hope
less Jap defense. Whenever a clus-
ter Of caves was located, the infan-
try commander placed a machine
gun on guard at the entrance and
phoned back for demolition men.
Armed with bangalore torpedoes
and stick dynamite, the demolition
specialists blew up the mouths Of
the caves, sentencing the Japs to
death.
In some caves, hewn out of solid
rock where blasting was impractical,
other tactics had to be devised. De-
molitions officers solved this prob
lem ingeniously in one case. A tre-
mendous tunnel, similar to a mine
entrance, with butteressed sides and
top, was found by advancing infan-
trymen on the side of hill. On the
other side of the hill was another
entrance. Omcers had reason to
believe that the two caves we're con-
nected and that there were still
Japanese inside. The cave entrances
were effectively blocked by scores
Of SandbagS and wooden casks full
Of earth. Bulldozers completed the
job.
There was no question Of starving
the Jap out. He had enough food,
and other supplies in
his caves to last out year of siege.
Nor was there any question of his
The marines tried to
take prisoners time and time
again but the Japanese still prefers
suicide to capture.
Stored Food Plentiful.
The caves were cornucopias of
food and material. Marines found
tremendous quantities of stores in
some Of the larger excavations:
cases of saki. barrels of dried fish.
q u o m bile tires. thousands of
rounds of ammunition. boxes of gre
nades, cases Of timed food, optical
instruments. stacks of clothing, and
even such civilized articles as mat
tresses and easy chairs.
Strangely, the enemy seems to
have made no attempt to destroy
these underground storehouses as he
retreated to the north. He couldn't
evacuate these supplies since our air
forces shoot up everything that
moves on Guam's primitive road

German Hill Positions Seized

Taking the Germans by surprise,
they dropped grenades down the
ventilators, and then discovered, to
their own surprise. that they had to
deal with 100 Germans and four l50-
millimeter naval cannon with only
grenades and automatic rifles.
An hour and a half later 80 of
the Frenchmen were dead or wound
ed: 60 of the Germans were dead
and 100 were prisoners.
The remaining 80 Commands,

only to get cancellation from pros
pectve buyers as the feed situa'
ton worsened. The poultry indus.
try looks dark right now ana "
means that eggs are going TO be
rationed by next winter unless
there is some relief. Darstyne
says. North Carolina has oeen
third in the production OF ssss
among the Atlantic Ssaooaro
states. but that proud record
seems to be on the way to ooivion.
Not only does the feed situation
NAV 4 part in this but Roy says
the taking Of all the young farm
ers into the armed forces viii also
have a contributing effect. These
are the men who have the physicai
strength and the knowledge 70
grow poultry under modern condl-
tons. The older folks do not take
quickly to this later knowledge.
This means, he says, that the poul'
try industry will be hit hard again
from another angle. -.
Roy has made careful study
Of the feed requirements Of a nor,
NAL production of poultry in North
Carolina and finds that this phase
of farming alone would require T.,
$50. $50 bushels Of our corn crop, or
the production from 12s, 465 acres
at 10 bushels an acre, for mash
feed. Another 4,a40, 192 bushels, or
the output from 1851 acres,
would be needed to supply the
corn used as scratch feed. About
l1.640, 600 bushels Of wheat or the
Weld from $50, 96s acres. at the or.
binary yield Of 1S.5 bushels per
acre, would be needed for bran
and middlinss and that from 1885,
078 acres for scratch feed. The
oats from 100, $50 acres would be
required. Soybean meal from the
production Of 80, 795 acres Of beans
and peanut meal from the produe-
ton of O,795 acres Of beans and
peanut meal from the production
Of 1888 acres Of peanuts would
also be needed. 1t would also take
1900 pounds Of milk year from
80, sos cows to produce the total
amount Of dried skinamilk needed.
Mr.. Dearstyne figures also that
the oil from the menhaden fish
caught along the coast Of North
Carolina can supply enough oil for
the vitamin D and that 2,209 tons
Of this oil would be needed Added
to this would be about 1902 tons
Of fish meal which can be produc.
ed by North Carolina fisheries.
This is at about 1000 tons more
than is being produced At this
time.
In other words, the local poultry
industry viii supply a ready mar
ket for much Of the feedstuffs
which should be grown in North
Carolina. After the war, there will
be stiff battle for the feed mar
ket Of this state, Dearstyne says.
The thing to- do is for North Caro-.
lima growers and North Carolina
feed mills to supply this market
from homegrown products. If the
poultry industry is killed, however,
an important part Of the feed mar
ket will die with it.
