quickly and as inevitably as our
commanders in the field reached
theirs.
Our fighting men must and will
have all the material support they
so urgently need, but moral sup
port is almost of equal Importance.
One way We can provide 1t is to
oversubscribe the Sixth War Loan

to them that we are steadfast on

was ito pay more heavily in dol

HAND-To-HAND BATTLE

Fighting on western Leyte has
developed into the bittereSt kind
of hand-to-hand combat.
Infantrymen slogged and fought
from ridge to ridge in the dense
underground which itself made
combat perilous. 1t is particularly
vicious fighting in which troops
battle at bayonet point to gain
another ridge from which to
launch another attack on higher
objective-only to start the same
kind OF fight all over again.
MacArthur's mention of the SD
Division was the first time this
outfit has been mentioned IN the
Leyete battle. This makes total
of four known divisions opposed

ADVANCED INVASION
The next step, it said. came in
mid-Septenlber with American
landings on Peleliu and Morotai
islands southwest of the Philip
pines. These successes, it said,
indicated the feasibility of adj
vancing the date for the invasion
of the Philippines" and the date
for that move was set for Oct. 20.
1t recounted how. beginning
Oct. 9, surface and carrier forces
began raiding widely separated
japanese islands, with "the Jap
anese defenders caught off
base each time"
The climax, it said, came when
"a fleet appeared in the enemy's
own back yard, off the island of
Fermosa. from which the aerial
attack against the Philippines
had been launched by the Jap
anese three years before"

SOME DAMAGED

The L. S. fleet lost six ships

Other American ships were
damaged, the navy said, but be-
cause the Japanese are still
wondering what hit them" il is

forces or TO describe the dam

by US
"All damage, however, was
remediable and some OF the
L. :. ships hurt in the fight are
already back on duty" il said.
The communique told how the
preliminaries TO the Macarthur

As our forces fight heroically,

closer to their ultimate detectives,
there is a choice of using masses

FORCED TO ACT

"The effrontery OF the attack
on Form0sa from the sea-" the
navy said, "provoked the Jap
anese into immediate counter
action"
Bomber and torpedo planes be-
gan moving down from the Japa-
nese homeland to attack the
American force, il said, and while
these units were dispersed by
carrier-borne fighters two Japa-
nese planes broke through and
found targets in a couple of u
S. medium sized ships. which
were damaged by torpedoes but
which successfully retired TO the
eastward"
The next step, the communique
said. constituted "one of the most
fantastic chapters Of the war,
japanese aviators who reached
home reported an amazing VIC
tory. and Tokyo was quick TO
claim-for the fifth or sixth time
that the naval strength of the
United States had been rendered
puny.'
HOAX ON JAPS
The fantastic part, the navy
said. was that this time the
Japanese believed their own
propaganda. -
a task force was seen leaving
Japanese home waters TO give
the American fleet its coup de
grace" but, the navy said. when
the forces fliers saw the size Of
the surviving u. S. fleet the
enemy fleet fled.

served that his ships sunk by
Jap radio announcement had
been saIvagcd," the navy COM
mented. "and were retiring at
high speed toward the japanese
fleet
OF the three-day battle itself,
which began on oct. %, the navy
told how three separate Japanese
forces were sighted moving in the
general direction Of Leyte Gulf
one from the south. another from
the west and the third from the
north. It's story of the ensuing
actions was substantially that pre-
viouSly related by Macarthur and
Adm. Nimitz.
When the battle was over, il
said. the enemy fleet had sus-
tanned losses and damage which
materially weakened their overall
naval and air strength against the

DECISIVE BATTLE

The extent of the great Ameri-
can victory in the three-day Sec
ond battle of the Philippines and
the breadth of the damage
wrought upon the japanese fleet
in that series of engagements were
recapitulated by the u. S. Navy
last night in a long communicate.
In language unusually forceful
for an Official communique, the
navy said. among other things:
THE victory may turn out TO
he among the decisive battles of
our times ..
THE Japanese are-still-
wondering what hit them -.
THE enemy fleet sustained
losses and damage which ma
terially weakened their overall
naval and air strength against
the final drive of the United
States forces against the empire.
