A Tokyo broadcast said
Saturday that the enemy is
now attempting to make a
landing on Japan proper,
but it appeared the announc-
er was referring to admitted
American preparations for
an ultimate invasion of Jap
an rather than an actual
landing at this time.
The reference to the landing came
in a routine news broadcast an
nouncing Japans army day. 1t was
recorded by United Press in San
Francisco.
The broadcast was neard first
shortly after midnight by the Unit
ed Press listening post in an English
Language transmission beamed to
North America. An identical broad
cast was repeated in a broadcast
some three hours later to Austria
la.
Due to their heavy casualties"
the broadcast said, "the enemy, try
ing to make a swift conclusion of
this war is now attempting to make
a landing on Japan proper.
The Japanese army, on the 9TH
er hand, is inflicting decisive blows
against the enemy and is awaiting
an opportunity to make a large
scale counter offensive
Military sources in Washington
were Skeptical that any landing at
tempt had been made. They pointed
out there had been no preliminary
sea and air bombardment such as
always precedes an amphibious in
vasion.
Another Tokyo broadcast heard
in London quoted Sugyama as say
ing that the war situation had be-
come extremely serious" for Japan.
THE enemy, who is endeavoring
to end the war as quickly as pos
sible. will use every means to reach
his goal" Tokyo said. Thus the
enemy in the immediate future will

the Germans claimed they threw
the Americans out of Honnef.
The Nazis said strong U. S. in
fantry and tank forces pushed north
along the east bank of the Rhine
to Honnef, and added:
simultaneously other American
forces under cover of a strong UNI

south of Honnef in RATS in order

'FiliPinOs
Promise
". 8. Bases

MANILA, May "a - (Po -
Military bases will be granted
the United States with full sup
port of the Filipino people"
when the Philippines become in
dependent sometime before July
4, 1916, President Sergio Osme-
ma said today.
1t his first press conference
since his return TO the islands
Osmena said he thought Aug. ID
of this year would be too soon"
for independence. The Philip
pines president had proposed
that date last February in &C
cepting civil administration Of
the Islands from Gen. Douglas
M .cArthur.
Il am ready TO 60 TO the peo-
pie on the question of military
bases, the President said, but /
don't think that will be neces-
sary. The Filipino people recog.
nize the necessity of American
protection and welcome you
people here"
OSmena said details for mill
tary bases now were being
worked out and he was unable
TO state whether they would be
acquired by lease or grant. He
added that Filipinos would sup
ply whatever ground troops the
Americans deemed necessary for
the protection of the bases.
He said independence would
be granted before July 4, 1916
but the exact date has not been
decided.
That will depend upon de-
velopments."
The chief executive announc-
ed he would call a session of the
Philippine legislature within ten
days. 1t will be the first meet
ing in more than three years.
When asked about the future
role of Brig. Gen. Manuel Rox-
as, potentially his most influen-
tial opponent, his only comment
was that he did not know Rox-
as plans. A meeting of these
two key figures is expected
soon.
Il think the future will mark
close cooperation between the
Filipino and American peoples, ,
he said, adding that the admin
istration intended legislation
granting Americans the same
property rights as Filipinos.
