; since last March on the harbor
t Brest, apparently took ad-
vantage of tho thickest kind of
: channel .weather . to make their
' getaway.
, The Scharnhont tried to es
cape once before, last July, when
she scurried down the coast to
La Pallice but soon, returned to
Brest after the RAF again spot
ted her. ' .
The" announ cement of the
y great battle within tun-shot of
Dover's shores was foreshad
' owed by day-Ions reports
V Thursday from the soatheast
coast telling -of heavy artillery
. fire and of large RAF aquad-
rons heading eat over the ehaa
V'nel; bnt tho details were not
given until the early morning-.
The communique said:
I "At about 11 am. Thursday RAT
aircraft reported an enemy squad
ron consisting of the Scharnhorst,
the Gneisenau and the Prinz Eu
: gen, accompanied by destroyers,
torpedo boats, E-boats and mine
sweepers, was approaching the
Dover straits from the west.
"The enemy squadron also was
heavily escorted by fighter air
craft Visibility at this time varied
Nfrom three to five miles, with low
clouds, and the enemy ships were
never visible from the English
coast
"On reoeipt of the report,
coastal craft of the Dover naval
, command immediately were
. sent oat to attack, together with
. Sword-fish aircraft of the fleet
air arm, strongly escorted by
RAF fighters.
"Attacks by both swordfish and
coastal aircraft were pressed close
to home in the face of intense fire
from all vessels and opposition by
enemy fighters.
"Reports indicate the swordfish
scored at least one hit on one of
the enemy heavy ships and one of
the motor torpedo boats also
claimed a possible hit,- but owing
to the ' intense barrage and the
heavy smoke screen put up by the
enemy it was impossible to see the
results of the attack.
"Six swordfish aircraft are
missing but some of the crews
have been saved. There were no
casualties in the coastal craft.
"During this time the Dover de
fenses opened fire at extreme
range which was replied to by
enemy; 'shore batteries on the
French coast " '
"The enemy force waarepeat-
edly attacked by aircraft of the
RAF, strongly escorted by fight
ers. The results were difficult
to see owing to low clouds, but
according to preliminary re
ports coastal command Bean
forts claimed three hits with
torpedoes and the bomber com
mand crew Is confident each of
the main enemy units was hit
by bombs.
"The attacks were pressed home
with the greatest determination in
the face of heavy anti-aircraft fire
and strong fighter opposition
which resulted in the loss of 20 of
our bombers (including five air
craft of the coastal command) and
18 fighters.
"Fifteen enemy fighters were
destroyed by our fighter escort
' and at least three more by the
bombers themselves.
"Destroyers under the command
of Captain C? T. M. Pizey, RN,
and H. S. Campbell also proceeded
to intercept and attack the enemy.
"At 3:34 pjBi. oar destroyers
sighted the enemy and went
into the attack in the face of
very heavy bombing by enemy -aircraft
and also heavy gunfire
- from all the enemy's surfsVe
ships.
""Our destroyers took advantage
of a fain squall to press the at
tacks, home. Owing to low visi
h bUity and the heavy fire to which
the destroyers were subjected, it
was not possible to be certain of
the result of the atack, but there
is reason to believe that a least
- one torpedo hit was obtained.
V "Casualties in our destroyers
v were not heavy.
"When last sighted, the enemy
' had become separated and were
making for ports, in the Helgoland
. Bight.
f urtoer reports irom our
k forces are awaited."
; In. the last few days there
have "been persistent reports
that . German warships were
" ) preparing to s 1 1 p from their
' berths at Brest. They have been
sinned . there nearly 12 months
by attack after attack by the

Political hatchets must be buried

Thursday night
, Warning that this nation will
not be permitted to, live if Ja
pan and Germany win the war,
he said: "It Is weU enough to
think of coming elections, but
first we must make sure that
we are permitted to live In a
world in which elections can be
held."
Griswold said republicans
should continue their own party
under their own leadership, how
ever, and not let the war carry
the nation into a one-party gov
ernment "We are engaged in a terrible
war, fighting in order that we
may continue to enjoy certain
fundamental freedoms. One of
those freedoms is the right to dis
agree, to criticize and to express
publicly our differing opinions.
If we have the right to disagree,
then it means that we must have
the right to make decisions when
we cast our ballot To do this we

No newspaper, book or pam
phlet may be published without
Japanese permission, , and , ..the
contents must be censored, the
proclamation said, threatening
severe punishment of violators.
Meanwhile reports reaching
MacArthur's headquarters tug
gest that occupied areas of Lu
lon faced a food scarcity be
cause farmers had fled their
homes to escape harsh treat
ment from Jap soldiers. ,
Enemy alarm over the situ
ation was evidenced by a procla
mation issued by Lieutenant Gen
eral Masaharu Homma, the Jap
anese top commander, appealing
to the Filipinos as "dear breth
ren" to harvest neglected crops.
The farmers have crowded into
Manila or hidden in the moun

By CLARK LEE
WITH GEN. MACARTHUR ON
BATAAN PENINSULA, Feb. 11
(Delayed)-(ff)-The distant boom
of cannon and the trickle of
battle news from the jungle tele
graph have bolstered the morale
of the people in occupied Manila,
authenicated advices reaching the
fighting forces disclose.
The Japanese, on the other
hand, by the brutality of their
new on -informed sentries and
the widespread hunger they
have brought to the city have
failed completely to win the
friendship of Manila's Filipinos.
Manflans, who long ago were
told by the Japanese that General
MacArthur's forces had been an
nihilated on Bataan, now are cir
culating the cheerful rumor that
"MacArthur will have dinner in
a Manila hotel before the end of
the month."
Many Japanese wounded now
are being brought into Manila
from the fighting on Bataan, and
the bodies of Japanese military
dead are being cremated within
the city.
The Japanese soldiery, even
some of the highest officers,
appear terrified at the pros
pects of air raids, and run for
shelter every time they believe
American planes may be ap
proaching. One Japanese officer is re
liably quoted as saying Japan has
no hope for eventual victory and
that "all Japanese forces sent to
the Philippines must die hire."
At least 10 and possibly 20
Filipinos have been reported exe
cuted at old Fort Santiago, for
merly MacArthur's headquarters,
for opposing the Japanese. .
This kind of brutality precedes
executions:
Filipinos formerly employed
by the US army or navy are
tied hatless to telephone poles
en the main boulevards of Ma
nila for three days and nights
kicked and slapped by passing
Japanese sentries and given lit
tle food.
Then if the Japanese decide
they assisted Americans they are
put to death.
Two high officials of the su
preme court, Judge' Arsenio Loc
son and Judge Gregorio Narva sa
were thus trussed publicly for
several hours before they were
released with' an unctious: "Sorry,
mistake."
The suspects are denounced
by Manila's Quislings politic
ally Sakdalistas and Ganaps
who point out the victims to
the sentries. When the Quis
lings fail to turn In suspects,
they are tied up themselves:
hence they make accusations at
random.
One Filipino who told the Jap
anese where they could find 5000
gallons of hidden gasoline was
first rewarded then later shot for
failing to uncover additional sup
plies. Food and money are ; very
scarce, almost the only supplies
coming from looters who raided
warehouses and stores after the
US army evacuated the city. ,
Business and Industrial 'life
sire dead. The Filipinos are Ignor
ing Japanese appeals to go back
to work. ,
Jap basaars are the only
stores open. Trolleys and one
bos line run, but only half a
dosen private cars are 'allowed
to operate. People wander aim
lessly about and . go Indoors at
6 pa, although the curfew is
not until II o'clock.

are allowed the freedom , of the
campus of Santo Tomas univer
sity at certain hours and may re

four days from their former ser
vants 'and employes: t '

Just when the house, owned

one could say, but the alarm was
received in Silverton at 10:45.
City firemen responded to the
call but were unable to do more
than prevent spread of the
blaze.
Only explanation revealed by
Virginia was the fact that
there was still a little fire in

idea that Japanese forces, after
driving through Alaska and
across the formidable Canadian
Rockies, might attempt to des
cend Into the tableland country
of central Canada from the north.
The ebjeet of such tactics by
the Japanese, Hepburn ex
plained, would be to establish
themselves In Canada, close to
the United States, and thus
seek to block retaliation direct
ly upon Japan itself. The Am
ericans are the only people the
Japanese really fear, Hepburn
added.
The provincial premier tossed
aside a statement by Col. Frank
Knox, US secretary of the navy,
that the Asiatic fleet was seeking
contact with the Japanese.
"U they haven't been able to
find them, IT1 tell where they
are," he offered. "They're fight
at Manila. . . . They're at Stng
apore and at Shanghai. The
fact Is they (the Americans)
are afraid to make contact be
cause they ha vent the suprem
acy they boasted of over the
alleged tissue-paper uavy of
Japan!"
Hepburn aeain dsrrihwi th
Japanese as more powerful than
naa Been supposed and said "any
disillusions about their fighting
capacity have now been dissi
pated." He excused the German with
drawal, in Russia on the ground
that synthetically - manufactured
oil would not operate in motor
ized equipment in 40-below zero

fought bitterly Thursday to pre

the progress of their struggle was
obscured by unbroken silence
from the hard-contested fronts.
"No further report," said the

RANGOON, Burma, Feb. 12
(iTV-The Japanese attack on Sal
ween river line wavered and
broken in the Paan area Thursday
before a stout British imperial
defense, and a bayonet charge in
another vital sector sent the in
vaders scrambling for cover,
abandoning their weapons.
It was the best news in many
days from the lower Burma bat
tlefront which lies 80 air miles
across the Gulf of Martaban from
this seahead of the Burma road.
It was, moreover, proof of what
the British can do with air sup
port, i
The situation in the lower
Sal ween was regarded In well
informed circles as definitely
bettered. If still serious.
Indian infantrymen, who had
been encircled, fought their way
out of dangerous pockets and
then savagely counter-attacked.
Simultaneously, square - shoul
dered, hard-hititng "koylis" the
king's own Yorkshire light in
fantrymen who had been wait
ing impatiently for 11 days at the
Martaban gulfside for a chance
at action, were thrown against
the Japanese at a crucial moment.
"If encircled charge!" has
become the common tactic of
the British troops.
The British command felt able
to say that the violent enemy at
tack in tho important Paan area
of the river front, 30 miles above
Martaban, was "successfully de
feated after heavy fighting, and
tho Japanese temporarily have
abandoned operations.
Entire Army

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12
The entire American army Thurs
day was ordered made ready for
possible dispatch to any tropical
fighting front by being immunized
against yellow fever.
Secretary Stimson directed that
every; officer and man be vac
cinated against the one-time
scourge of the hot countries, to
supplement the preventive meas
ures which long since have stamp
ed it out in Cuba, Panama and
elsewhere in this hemisphere.
-The order is designed to make
all soldiers available for service
in areas where the disease fa
known stm to exist. Informed
quarters read particular signifi
cance Into Its announcement
since the struggle for the south
west Pacific has been fought al
most entirely fat the tropica.
' Vaccination against yellow fever
is a relatively recent medical de
velopment, and advanced from the
discovery of Major Walter Reed
in Cuba four decades ago that the
disease is carried by a certain
type of mosquito. The large-scale
vaccination against yellow fever,
will be in addition to routine In
jections already, given to protect
officers and men against typhoid,
para-typhoid, smallpox and te
tanus. ' '
As a part ef the urgent war
expansion ef the land forces,
Sttmao announced also at his
