ENGEBI, Feb. 18 DelayeO 1T
was every marine for himself in
the early stages of the battle of
Engebi, the small but important
stepping stone on the coral road
to Toxic.
There was no such thing as a
definite battle line. The marines
were behind the japanese and in
front of them. One by one the
22d Marine Regiment had to wipe
out pockets of resistance.
Naval gunfire turned the emerald
green island into a shambles be-
fore the marines hit the beach.
Nothing of any height appeared to
be standing when the marines
landed.
The scene resembled a cluttered
picnic grounds after a particularly
strenuous clambake.
Fanatical Japs Disorganized.
The marines hit the beach this
morning. They established a 100
yard beachhead in the first hour
but ran into fanatical, disorganized
japanese in the wooded area.
The Japs came running up out
of holes you didn't think big enough
for a chipmunk to hide in" said
Sergt. Warren j. Harding, Saint
Albans, N. Y.
They were shellshocked and
crazed. The snipers were thick.
In loading our wounded, we had to
duck for cover about every two min
utes. There was no such thing as
a line. The marines had to depend
pretty much on themselves. It was
that kind of fighting"
David Hodge, pharmacists mate,
second class, Granite City, ILL.,, re-
ported he saw many japanese who
had been killed by naval gunfire or
concussion.
Most of the big enemy guns had
been knocked out before the ma
rlnes landed. But there still were
some mortars that had to be cleaned
out.
The fighting was close and often
hand-to-hand.
Corpl. Melvin Gather of San Jose.
Calf, told how barrage-mad ddened
Japanese would rush his group with
knives and bayonets.
They seemed to appear from no.
where. The snipers were the worst. ="
Corpl. Gather declared. I'VE didn't
let that slow as though. Once l
saw a Jap sniper who must have
been clipped by rs marines. They
were all watching for him"
Pillboxes Built of Logs.
Corpl. Gather said the pillboxes
he had seen were built mostly of
coconut logs reinforced with boiler
plate.
The hardest fighting appeared
after the marines had swept more
than 400 yards into the interior.
The issue was never in doubt.
Marines Systematically mopped up
the enemy.
For more than a day the Navy
Shelled Engebi and outlying islands,
No Japanese vessels except a small
barge were seen in the lagoon. It
was sunk quickly.
The japanese made no attempt
to return the Navy's gunfire.
watched the shelling of Engebi
from the bridge of a transport in
vasion ship. 1t began yesterday and
became so intense all you could see
of the result was a giant cloud of
smoke billowing skyward as the first
assault waves began to land.
When I landed on the beach with
Frank Filan, Associated Press war
photographer. We could see the
havoc wrought by the heavy gun
flre. 1t was like Roi and Namur
OF Kwajalein Atoll, which we had
seen fall a few weeks before. En-
gebi, too, was devastated.

Plastic BueIes Replace
Bross After Army Test
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
ATLANTA, Feb. 26.-The Army's
brass hats figured the Quartremaster
Corps would solve the problem of
finding brass for bugles when the
War Production Board turned
thumbs down on the metal going
into musical instruments.
Quartermaster Corps experts sug-
gested plastic bugles, but manufac-
turers said it wouldn't work.
The experts finally persuaded one
company to try plastic bugle. It
was turned over to an old-time
"wind-ja -jamming" bugler for testing.
Musical notes floated from the
ersatz bugle and none fell fiat. So
the plastic horns have supplanted
the Army's brass bugles.

"One more syllable of that kind
and hand the whole business over
to Captain Sharman." Ali sat
down, painting. Il have no objec-

enough to wish" continued
Trevvy. Nor am l afraid of my
beard growing backward and
smothering me. But l insist upon
the truth OF this matter. or -
So in a stifled voice, Ali related
a strange example of poetic justice.
He was afraid to break the
scarab and remove what it con-
tanned until any investigation set
afoot was likely to have died down.
Indeed, lest his ownership should
be challenged. he presently decid

The sequel we knew.
But there was a second sequel.
Ali having departed into the
Sharia KAmel, we had parting
drink with Sharman and saw him
off. Then de Treville said to me.
There remains more to be done
For instance, you are naturally

before the night is much older
This statement found far from
stimulating. My curiosity was
aroused, but | distrusted the refer
ence to an attractive lady. The
methods of my friend de Treville
no doubt contributed to ones
success in the days Of Anne Of
Austria, but they are better avoid
ed in the Twentieth Century.
However. not without misgiv-
ings. sat down in the lounge while
Trevvy brought paper and pencil
to the table. He had obtained
these from the night porter. with
whom ! saw him conferrlng. From
the fact that the man glanced at
a key rack. | gathered that resi-
dent of the hotel was the subject
of their conversation. Nov. said
de Treville, I'VE have to draw up
an advertisement something

"Oh. see. You propose to post

mo, no. The porter will dictate
it over the phone. Saves time.
Now, let me see - how can we
improve on this?"
He was still employed on i'm
provements, when l saw the hotel
door swing open and caught a
glimpse of jade-green wrap. At
which moment. This should do"
said de Treville. Come over to
the desk and will read it out to
the porter"
He seized my arm, and a few
seconds later was bending over the
desk, explaining that, if it we're
possible. he should like an adver-
tisement to appear in the next
issue of the Gazette.
II will ring up the Office and see
if there is time, sir"
"Oh. don't expect impossible
ties" said Trevvy. But neverthe-
