Three- years ago, when that arrogant -navy plowed the Paci lie in lightning conquest that could not be stopped or even ser iously delayed by the enfeebled allies, it's ultimate destruction was but a dream held by resolute optimists. ' ' Even six months ago, after It laboriously had been whittled ciown, tne enemy heavy fleets end was a thing to anticipate as the fiery fruit of some final fer ocious battle or series of battles. Instead, the collapse was pos- smiy mo greatest antl-ollmnx oi the war.
