NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.--Admiral
Ernes J. King said last night the
Battle Of the Philippines reduced

The fleet commander in chief gave
this appraisal in an address before

that lit Is a certainty that the Jap
anese Navy has been beaten, routed
and broken"
Admiral King mentioned no fig
ures on the number of japanese
vessels whose immediate usefulness
was destroyed, listed by Pearl Har-
Dor as at least 81 sunk, probably
stink or damaged. Obviously, how
ever. his estimate referred to the
battles effect on fire power and fight
ing ability of the enemy fleet, rather
than the number of its warships.
Also appearing before the Navy
League were the Earl of Fairfax.
British Ambassador, and Gen.
George c Marshall, Army Chief Of
Staff.
Gen. Marshall, along with paving
tribute to the Navy, cautioned
against any home front belief that
the war is practically over in Eu-
rope and we are free to turn to other
interests"
Just back from visit to France
and Belgium, Gen. Marshall said he
hoped soldiers fighting ''in the pres
ent bitter grip of battle" hear no
echo of such ideas at home.
Saluting the Navy, Gen. Marshall
said 1t conveyed our armies to
