BOARD EXPEDITIONARY
FLAGSHIP OFF TINIAN. Maria
mas Island, July 30-R-Via Navy
Radio)-One of the most fearful
instruments of death from Amer
ica's arsenal of secret weapons is
aiding immeasurably in the whirl
wind conquest of Tinian islanc
which saw American Marines
storm into Tinian town before
darkness tonight.
Effectiveness of the secret weap
on has been definitely proven. II
is truly fearful and it is extremely
doubtful whether any human being
within 100 feet of it's action would
be able to live.
It is easy to forsee the devasta-
ton and death which would result
from its use on such targets as the
crowded cities of the Japanese
homeland.
First use of the weapon came
several days ago, but because of
security reasons it is impossible
to even hint at it's construction or
its manner of use.
The end of the fight for Tinian
is in sight. However, the big bat
tie is yet to come. The Marines
compressed the remaining Japa-
nese vice-like into an area of ap-
proximately two square miles.
Marines of the Second and Fourth
divisions swept ahead all day long
as they have done every day
since they came ashore-register-
ing a gain of at least a mile and
half and at some points as much
as two miles.
Leathernecks were methodical-
ly cleaning out enemy nests which
formed still strong rear guard.
Late in the afternoon tanks broke
out from the advancing Marine
lines to probe well beyond Tinian
town, which has been reduced to
a mass of rubble by six weeks of
about bOmbardment.
The Marines already have push
ed across the islands widest point
and are enjoying the military ad-
vantage of a shortened front line
as they press down the narrowing
southern end of the island.
There is no doubt that when the
Marines push through and reach
the southern extremeties of Tinian
they are going to find scores of
enemy dead-killed by this unre-
1enting bombardment.
Many Japanese probably have
gone into caves, but the hills and
slopes that contain such hiding
places have been included in the
targets of the big guns.
"A high state of morale was re-
Elected in todays advances, which
came after torrential rainstorm.
Rain fell the greater part of last
night with such force that it was
almost impossible to carry on
