that"
Despite the compliment to ship
he considers one of the most EN-
cient in the Navy. military men
closest to the general expressed be-
lief that his disregard of personal
danger stemmed from an implicit
belief that 1t is his destiny to lib
crate the Philippines and that moth
ing can happen to prevent it.
I'VE have achieved complete sur
prise in the fullest military sense"
Gen. Macarthur said during the in
formal discussion. The Japs ex-
pected an attack in Mindanao or the
Northern Philippines. Their best di-
visions have been concentrated in
Mindanao and their reinforcements
have been sent there.
Jap Forces Split.
Our air strikes were made there
and Admiral Halsey's strikes were
to the north. There are about
225.0 900 enemy combat stroops in the
Philippines. Our Leyte landing
will cut them in two. We will have
losses, but they will not be large. /"
Gen. Macarthur said the Japa-
nese have little more than one di-
vision on Leyte and American naval
and air power will make it impos-
sible for them to reinforce the
island.
The trip to the Philippines was
uneventful. Gen. Macarthur was
completely relaxed. His plans had
been made. With him was q skele-
ton staff and his ofices were set up
in cabin.
Miles beyond as was an unbroken
stream Of aircraft carriers and other
warships.
Even rs the hour of landing drew
near Gen. Macarthur was unruffled.
He slept well, ate q hearty breakfast,
then went briefly on deck smoking
his familiar corn-cob pipe.
Then he mapped for about an
hour. About Is minutes before the
scheduled landing at 10 am. the
cruiser moved in toward the beach.
The general then went to the
bridge. We could see shells from
battleships exploding in the hills be-
hind the prospective beachheads.
At 9:5S the first waves Of landing
craft hit the shore ahead of sched-
ule.
Ten minutes later word was
flashed back that the troops were
500 yards inland and advancing
through open country without op-
position.2

BY the Associated Press.

GEN. MACARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Philippines, Oct. 2l.--
President Sergio Osmena, standing
on the soil of his homeland, today
issued stirring call to all Filipinos
to rise up and fight the Japanese
invaders whenever the tide of battle
reached their town or barrio.
1t was the Philippine Common
wealth presidents second procla-
nation since he came ashore on
Leyte with Gen. Macarthur.
The proclamation wasn't inter-
preted as calling for a general up
rising throughout the islands, but
where American forces had ad-
vanced sufficiently to give imme-'
diate military help.
He told his people that Gen. Mac
Arthur was a trusted, tried and
true friend of the Filipino people, I"

Osmena Goes Ashore.
With President Osmena when he
went ashore were six cabinet men,
bers. They came in the ships of the
greatest military force the United
States ever assembled in the Pacific.
President Osmena's message fol-
lowed a statement by Brig. Gen.
Carlos p. Romulo, resident commits

Secretary of Information, that he is
convinced liberation troops will re-
ceive the complete cooperation of
the Filipino people.
He said he expected his people to

tie the hated Japanese when the
tide Of battle moves toward their
towns and villages.
When the military situation per-
mits, the government will take over
civil administration first of munic-

and finally the national admins
tration, Gen. Romulo said.
One OF the first tasks of the gov
ernment will be to contact guerrilla
leaders who have harried the Japa-

heralded and unknown-since the
fall of Corregidor on May 8, 1912.
Gen. Romulo said.
Data to Be Sought.
From the guerrillas will be sought
information ON actual conditions
throughout the islands.
Filipinos, blacked out for two and
half years by severe japanese
censorship of news, will learn from
the forces Of reconquest that the
United States Congress and Presi-
dent were prepared to give them
their long-sought independence even
before the July 4. 1916, date orig
