1 SIX 19 - Marines Eager to Wrest More Isles ; '- From Japanese PEARL HARBOR, "t. II., Nov. 21 (AP) The United Slutcs marines on Guadalcanal, cheered by the navy's great triumph over the Japanese fleet last week end, are looking or more Islands to conquer. Lieut. DeWItt Pcterkln, first American naval officer to arrive here from the Solomon since the navy's victory Nov. 1415, said he believed some 10,000 Japanese have been killed on Guadalcanal. "The marines could catch bunches of Japs, 300 at a time, In the vales and wipe them out. Killing, a thousand in one night in one sector is not unusual. We killed a hell of a lot. I don't know how many died in the brush," Peterkin said. The sight of a prisoner on the Island is an oddity, Peterkin stated, for "almost no prisoners are taken by either side." "When the Japs rush, they yell in English, 'blood for the em peror: Come out, marines, you're licked.' . "Hut the marines don't take the Japs' word for It that the leathernecks are licked." Peter kin said. Instead, the devil dogs have an easy Job cleaning up the Japs, and now there is a saying on Guadalcanal that "the Japs fight for their lives, but the ma raines fight for souvenirs," Among the souvenirs taken from Jap bodies were a number of revolvers "made in Connecti cut." (Connecticut manufacturers suggested, as a possible explana tion, that If Japs killed on Guadal canal previously had been In the Philippines they would have hud a good chance' of ' capturing American pistols there.)
