Negros in Philippines
Invaded Second Time
By American Forces
BY the Associated Press.

MANILA, April 27.-American
amphibious forces have invaded
Negros in the second assault on
that Philippine island since last
March 20. -r
Shortly after the first troops hit
the beach at Dumaguete, on the
southern tip Of the island, the Jap
anese-apparently prepared for such
an eventuality-systematicallyb began
destroying the city.
Explosions rocked Dumaguete as
assault forces began the invasion
yesterday, and a smoke pail rose
from the beautiful seaport city.
Dumaguete had been damaged early
In the war but had been rebuilt
extensively by the Filipinos.
City Fairly Intact.
Richard Bergholz, Associated Press
correspondent, who few over the
city four hours after the invasion
began, reported it still looked fair
ly intact" and that a Catholic
Church in the heart of the city
"loomed clearly through the smoke
of nearby fires"
Negros was invaded first on the
northwest coast March %, and three
days later swiftly advancing troops
Of the 10th Division captured Ba-
colod. 4 provincial capital. Ameri-
can forces struck so rapidly then the
Japanese had no time to carry out
their scorched-earth policy.
Japs Well Intrenched.
A japanese menace to Manila's
dwindling water supply commanded
renewed attention today even though
American forces appeared to be
driving the enemy from two major
objectives elsewhere In the Philip
pines. .-.-
Two Yank regiments continued to
battle intrenched Japanese in the
mountains east of Manila, trying to-
hberate the water source before 4
shortage materializes.
GACkACAASO "a tAAc OtI DlVlSlOAi,
whose objective was Wawa Dam, on
the Marikina River, fought a heavy
enemy force in . score of well -inte-
grated pillboxes on the crest Of vital
Mount Pacawagan, IA miles from the
capital. ... ~
Yank Stab Repulsed.
The peak Is 1880 feet high and
the Yanks hold all but the crest.
They assaulted the peak wednesday,
but lost number of men and halted
their advance until a path could be
cleared for tanks and tank de-
stroyers.
Another force was driving toward
Ipo Dam, on the Angat River, 20
miles from Manila.
Pipelines from these two dams
feed the Novaliches Reservoir, from
which the capital gets water.
Manila was warned some time ago
that only a few weeks supply Of
water remained in the reservoir.
The fighting for the supply dams
has been slow and bitter. Enemy
elements have held forth there ever
since the Japs lost Manila, in. Feb
ruary.
24th Division Gains.
On Mindanao Island, the 24th Di-
vision Wednesday advanced another

Davao Gulf and within IS road miles

while another contingent smashed
into its environs from the west and
northwest. The two American forces
were 2,200 yards apart.

in New Guinea with my air WAC contingent In
January. After that meeting we never had dates
with any one else had never stood him up before.
l kept wondering if he would be furious with
me.
1t didn't occur to me until day later that he
might be worried frantic when the plane failed to
return.
| suppose human being knows what he
can endure until the test comes.
| never dreamed that /, whose top weight
is around SO pounds, could live for days
water and few pieces of hard candy.
When | look back on the journey down the
jungle mountain after the plane crash, | wonder
how did it.
1t was an ordeal even for McCollom who
escaped the crash without scratch. 1t must have
been agony for Decker, who was badly hurt.
A T TIMES when my cut and burned feet and my
"A scared legs refused to hold me up any longer,
craWled on my hands and knees. Sometimes | sat
down. and inched along.
Once, after McCouom had shoUn me how,

was doing in a Jungle in New Guinea.

1914, had never been farther away from home
nor in wilder spot-than Atlantic City
The life of typical American small town girl
turned private secretary is not much of prepara-
ton for the army. Nor even for jungle warfare
on private scale.
MCOLLOM, Decker and l survived by miracle.
NA Don't call it luck.
Only miracle wrought by God could have
