One of the ministers in this

one's brother is kept in mind,
on one of the smaller islands a
visitors book was left in the

leader found this entry: 'Here
I found peace in war, ' and I
think I found God. Thank
you.' " At the close of a ser
vice in a canteen, a soldier
confessed that he had been a
prodigal son, and asked If he
might partake . of the Hjly

deeply penitent. Here, this lad

By PAUL KERN LEE
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1
(AP) The Japanese navy is dead
by the soberly-considered testi
mony of American Naval officers
who killed it, yet an event so re
plete with the possibilities of high
historic drama and so lacking
in the performance could scarce
ly be Imagined, even now that
It has happened.
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
