Whenever blood donations fell off we knew

Here in the center and elsewhere in Mil
waukee we hear praise for the outstanding work
the Sentinel has done in behalf of the Red Cross
blood donor program.
Mr. George Tracy has also given us many
ideas and suggestions which materially helped the
cause
In editorials. too, the Sentinel is working

LIVES.
Therefore, we want to thank Mr. Frank l..
Taylor, publisher; Mr.. James j. Packman, manag-
ing editor and Mr.. George A. Tracy, city editor,

THE dramatic news that Gen.
l. Douglas Macarthur was back in
the Philippines-this time in COM
mand of a great force-did more
than to revive the bitter memories
of Corregidor and Bataan.
1t enabled the American people
to say-at long last we are fighting
AMERICAS war!
In this thought there could be no
disparagement of what our men have
been doing in the Pacific during
weary months.
Our navy has won spectacular
and even crucial battles, driving the
japanese fleet into ignominious
hiding.
Our fliers have performed count
less feats to obtain mastery in the
Asiatic air.
Our marines have taken some
bloody vengeance for the reverses at
Guam.
Our soldiers have traversed thou
sands of miles among the islands and
reefs northward from Australia.
These isolated and sometimes
creeping advances, in which Gen.
Macarthur has had his unrivaled
patient share, now provided bastions
for the mightier campaign that was
begun with the invasion of Leyte.
DUT while these little victories
ID were being garnered, the Ameri-
can people were apprehensive.
They knew that the Pacific
war would not be won in decades, if
it could be won at all, at such crawl.
ing pace.
And the Pacific was the theater
of war in which we had received the
first hostile blows.
It was the only area in which we
had lost American territory and had

ALSO STABS ON WESTERN GERMANY

LONDON, Jan. 3.-Berlin wa6 the RATS target in 1914 and was given second seething bath of fire and bombs for the New Year by British airmen who delivered the great blow against the char red capital.
 The newest attack came while fires were still burning from the thousand ton or bigger assault made early Sunday while Ger. man rescue workers were still digging the dead and injured out of the ruins.
 The air ministry describing the attack said: Tt was very heavy. We lost 28 aircraft in the Berlin raid
 There were also Mosquito stabs into western Germany and north. ern France and minelaying. oper. ations in enemy waters.
 In the Berlin raid two large concentration of fire were left roaring in the city, the commun- ique said.
 Swedish dispatches declared the tortured capital had it's worst night since the Destroy Berlin" campaign began November 18.
 Vichy radio said the suburbs of Nice in southern France, was at tackled by British or American planes. The broadcast gave no date of the attack.
 About 21 hours elapsed be- tween the two attacks on Berlin, but Swedish correspondents said the menace of delayed action bombs kept residents of the city in shelters until three o'clock yes terday afternoon. Less than eight hours later sirens were shrieking again, but the main blow fell sev- eral hours later however.
 The Swedish reports said Hit ler's luxurious new chancellery on Wilhelmplat was one of the places hit in the aerial barrage which struck first the outlying industrial areas, then worked on the official residence area in the heart of the capital.

TWO ATTACKS ON BERLIN
TROOPS ON ISLAND
 OF NEW GUINEA

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NEW GUINEA, Jan 3.-(AP)- General Macarthur landed vet eran American troops, which in- clude elements of the 32nd divi- sion, on the beach near Saidor on the north coast of New Guinea, without opposition Sunday. The strike was the third Lightning blow within f8 days against the Japanese in the southwest Pa cific area.
 The troops were commanded by Brigadier General Clarence Martin and Col. Slade Bradley, and pushed inland immediately. The capture of the airfield was reported shortly after the land ing, encountering slight resist ance with the Japanese who were still reeling from the offensive thrust of Cape Gloucester and AraWe since December 18th. MacArthur caught them with a surprise landing of his soldiers behind the enemy lines only 55 miles southeast of Mada2g, the Japs' big base at Astrolabe.
 By this amphibious operation MacArthur cut off a considerable force of the Japanese who are still battling with the Australians a few miles north of Butcher Point, which is above the Allied base of Finchshafen, according to the commanding general who said:
 The enemy is trapped with no source of supply, and faces dis integration and destruction" :"
 This landing, like others, was combined with operations of land air and sea forces. Ships moved toward Saidor Saturday and troops landed at dawn Sunday af- ter the escorting warships laid down a heavy barrage in the area.
 There was every indication that the landing had caught the Jap anese by surprise, for no enemy reaction took place for several hours and our troops had things all their own way.
 The captured airfield was not servicable but the Americans ex- pected to move with customary |speed to put the fields in con- dition for fighters and bombers
