AT Honolulu, every ship IN
Pearl Harbor was. lit up like a
Christmas tree last night for the
first time since the war with
Japan started and thousands of
yelling, screaming servicemen
began a wild celebration. Flares
and tracers Of every color Lit the

with great mobS of soldiers, ma
rineS. sailors and civilians throng-
ing the streets. Residents cele-
brated by throwing tons" of
japanese paper money into the

In the United States the cele-
brations were tempered with the
thought that the report still
hadn't been confirmed but as more
reports came in, the enthusiasm
continued 10 grow.

turned automobiles.
San Franciscans, who took We
Day in their stride, cut loose with
all the revelry they had stored up
for the firing of the last shot in
the Pacific. Street car service on
the main street had TO be dis
