Interpreting
The War
BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Associated pr.s. ~.


Inc radio rumor factory in Tokyo
IS working overtime with reports of
impending further American or
Allled landing operations on Borneo
or IN the Northern Ruykus above
Oklnawa, virtually on the threas
old OF Southern Japan. Whether
these are pure fishing expeditions
Or actually based on the sighting of
naval task forces or troopship con-
voys by enemy air scouts remains
&c be seen. There seems logical
reason to anticipate further de-
velopments, however, on both
Hanks OF the China Sea battleline.
Full effective use of Okinawa as
major air and sea base or for con-
centration of amphibious forces for
the next major operations would
seem to call particularly for &C.
cupation of the Amami group of the
Ruykus of which Amami Oshima is
the largest, second only in size to
Oklnawa. It lies virtually midway
between Owinawa and the South
coast of Kyushu.
AS a thanking protection for Oko-
naWa, in process of being more
completely fitted with airstzips than
any similar small land mass in the
world, Amami Oshima would seem
essential. 1t would also provide ad-
dltlonal deployment room for the
American air power being shuttled
from Europe TO- the final blasting
attacks on Japan.
The islands dominating geo.
graphical feature is an extinct vol
cano rising some $500 feet above
sea level. 1t is much like Okinawa,
however, in that there is much re-
latively level ground which could
be used for air strips and dispersal
areas. The adjacent island of
Amami Gunto, just to the South
west, also is large enough to be
useful. It has less high ground to
implement the same Sort of death
stand defense encountered on Oki-
nawa and presumably would be less
difficult for amphibious attack than
Amami Oshima.
There is question, however,
whether Japanese defense deploy-
ment in the Ruykyus was not pri-
marily concentrated on Okinawa.
That biggest island of the group
almost exactly midway between
Japan and Formosa was so obvi-
ously the strategic key to defense
of the Ryukyu chain inner bulkwark
of Japanese China Sea communlca-
tons in the North that it is possible
other islands Of the group are re-
latively lightly manned. And it is
to lie doubted that the foe has
managed to reinforce garrisons on
any island of the chain except pos
sibly its most Northerly elements
Immediately off the coast of Kyu-
shu.
American air and sea domination
of all approaches to Okinawa has
been so continuous and complete
since the first landings there that
nothing bat enemy suicide planes
and sporadic waves of bonbers IN
light force have slipped through.
There has been nothing to indicate
that the Amami islands played any
part whatever in the Okinawa de-
tense and it is possible that their
garrisons were largely depleted to
supplement Kinawa for what Tokyo
now describes as a successful "de-
laying stand"

touDStIiutlng for Kenneth l.. Dixon
GOTTA - Up - The officers and
enlisted men of the 102nd Infantry
division consider themselves the
luckiest outfit in the entire Ameri-
can Army SO far as entertainment
is concerned.
The Harry Williams Circus per-
forms for their benefit night after
night in the Western Thuringia area
occupied by the division.
Four elephants, a dozen white
horses, half dozen other highly
trained equines, two camels two
uamas and several other beasts
are in the menagerie. In addition
there are rs polygot artists, among
them Czechs, Chinese, S erbs,
Italians, Swedish, Hungarians,
French, Germans and English.
Williams, an Englishman, and
his German wife, Althoff, owned
the show which got caught in Ger
m sDy BY the outbreak of war in
1899.
Upon their promise to entertain
wounded German soldiers, they
were permitted to continue their
circus work although the scarcity
of food forced the execution of
some animals such as lions and
tigers.
Some of the tents were seized
but the show as a whole remained
almost intact throughout the war.
A performance is given every
afternoon for Germans, whose ad-
mission payments are sufficient
to enable the circus to entertain
American CPS without charge.
The Yanks certainly eat it up.
