GUAM, June 30 (INS)-
japanese broadcasts reported
today that an American sur
face force approached the
coast of Okinoerabu Island,
40 miles north of Okinawa,
as Adm. Nimitz' headquar-
ters announced the occu-
patton of. Kume Island.
(The United Press picked
up a "weak" Tokyo broadcast
which said that American land
ing operations were actually
under way on Okinoerabu.)
Kume lies some 80 miles to the
west of newly conquered Okinawa,
main island of the Ryukyu archi-
-pefagO.
SHIPS RECONNoITER
L. S. destroyers and mine-
SWeepers swept up the Okinoerabu
to carry out reconnaissance Of
coastal defenses, according TO the
Tokyo radio.
The enemy has been persiStently
predicting new landings north OF
Okinawa TO gain stepping stones
for the ultimate invasion of Japan
proper.
Nimitz' announcement that
Kume was seized by amphibious
forces of his command clearly
indicated that the Yanks were
expanding their hold on the
strategic heart of the Ryukyu
chain.
Kume is triangular in shape
and measures some seven miles IN
length and three in width. Its
capture was effected without OPP
position. according to the COM
munique which declared:
"The island has been COW
cred by our patrols but no
enemy troops have been en-
countered."
REPELLED, JAPS SAY
Several days ago the Japanese
radio reported such an invasion
by U. S. amphibious troops. but
claimed that heavy fighting de-
veloped when the Jap garrison
supposedly intercepted the Yanks.
Terrain on Kume is rough. its
highest feature being a 10,500
foot peak on the northern side OF
the island. This height is con-
nected by a saddle with 961 foot
high ground on the southern end.

RUSSIAN GUNS DUEL NAZIS
 ACROSS RIVER

LONDON, Feb. 5.-(AP)- German and Russian guns duel- ed across the Oder today, as Marshal Zhukov moved with his First White Russian Army tanks and infantry to the river, in a line along the front of 14O miles, threatening to outflank Berlin throurh north Germany.
 Wells, of the south German command, said that violent Rus sian attacks are in progress against the Oder river for the fortress of Knuestrin, which is 40 miles east of Berlin.
 The latest official Moscow an- nouncements told of the capture of Barwalde, 38 miles northeast of Berlin in an 18-mile advance, which outflanked Custrin on the north, ond placed the Russian spearheads within 45 miles of the Baltic port of Stettin, at the mouth of the Oder.
 Field Marshal Zhukov's tanks are thrusting toward Stettin, in a threat to topple it and circle Berlin, on the north. They are trovelling in radio silence, said Moscow, but it is believed that they are cutting the enemy
 groups and causing great dam age.
 German accounts are far ahead of the official Moscow announce ment, and told that the Red Army penetrations go as far as Schwedt on the Oder, which is 28 miles from Stettin in the re- zion of Puritz.
 The Russian forces are also posed in a southward flanking threat by the capture of Zelbin- ger, 13 miles south of Frankfort
 German underground reports received in London, said that the Germans are already building flying bomb ramps 50 miles west of Berlin, facing the German capital, to use against the city, if 10 falls to the Russians.
 Russian dispatches failed to bear out the German reports that Russian attempts have al- ready been made to cross the formidable Oder in the Frank furt and Kusorin areas, where it is nearly 1000 feet wide, but said widespread hopping up is going on in numerous pockets along the river stretching from the area south of Stettin to the Russian hinge, midway between Frankfuro and Breslau, where the First White Russian and the First Ukrainian Armies join with more than 100 villages captured by the Russians yesterday.

also trying to find presidential candidate acceptable
to the Texas delegation in the election of the following
year.
House told Gen. Leonard Wood that he had de-
cded to support Gov Wilson of New Jersey for the pres

compulsory military service to be submitted to Wilson

Wood agreed with great enthusiasm, and prepared
project for raising great army the Swiss system
that Is to short term of months during several
successive years.
uAD this plan been put into operation it would have
meant by 1914 that America would have been in
possession of trained army of 100000 men, powerful
enough to threaten the imperial army of Germany
This House-Wood plan submitted to the pres-
dent before his inaugural and he sufficiently far

to prevent the coming But his party leaders in
Congress thought party leaders frequently do that it
impracticabe because it would cost billion dollars
to put il into effect That ended it. and in 1914 America
was behind the eight ball where she remained for several
years
This illustration it seems to me- is an answer to
present opponents of compulsory military training for
the youth of our nation.

WORDS do not have any effect on the bolshe-
w vlks. They cynically destroy all agreements
and treaties signed by those nations that do not
endorse Russia's S totalitarian regime of massacre
and concentration camps.
England aims at preventing the absorption
of the countries of Europe by Russia and their
communication.
She is doing what the UNITED STATES
OUGHT TO BE DOING-taking firm stand to
prevent the encroachment by the bolsheviks on
the sovereignty of small nations.
It's time to quit crawling before Stain, and
as Herbert Hoover said, tell him.
If the high objects of this war are lost the
fault will be the aggressions of Red Russia and
her gluttony for world power and our spineless
acceptance of her aggressons
TT LOOKS as if World War No. 2 were scheduled
to lose all the beneficial results that World War
No. had gained for us.
World War No. was waged to make
the world safe for democracy, and did so
very largely.
World War No. was waged to do
away with secret diplomacy and to replace
it with open covenants, openly arrived at"
In World War No. there has been
NOTHING BUT SECRET DIPLO-
MACY, in which the United States has par
ticipated - KEEPING FACTS EVEN
FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
World War No. established the re-
publics of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.
World War No. has delivered them to
the Russian tyranny.

Russian aggression while World War No. 2
has DELIVERED it to Russian aggression.

No American, then, can sanely oppose the
Russian theft of Europe and denounce England
for blocking this menace to all democratic nations
