Guam Island Invaded By Yankee Land Forces (Continued from page 1) of fighting. Tt was believed the Guam garrison was as strong as Saipan's, .vhich consisted of more than 20,000 troops on D-day, .Tun" 11. The Americans had to kill 95 per cent of that force before gain ing victory. In the Interior the Americans will encounter the same hills, caves and crevices which gave Saipan's defenders a tremendous edge over the attackers. Guam, 32 miles long and four to ten miles wide, was overrun by 8,000 Japanese troops who stormed ashore against 200 ma rines in the early days of the war. All the other Marianas Islands to Ihe north were Japanese, who thus had all the advantages against the Isolated American garrison. The Island has one of the Paci fic's finest harbors, Apra, and formerly served as a way-station on the trans-Pacific air route to the East. It supports a native population of nearly 22,000. Its area Is about 225 square miles. Top Commanders On Job Rear Adm. Richard L.
