their strength In northern Luzon
but that the "situation remains
unchanged materially."
In a lengthy report on the
naval actions thus far, Admiral
Hart announced that a naval
iller trailed a Japanese battle
ship, the Kongo or a ship simi
lar to her, off northwest Luzon
until other naval planes could
come up and "seriously cripple"
the vessel with bombs.
Killed in Action
: The army also cited one of
its aviators, Capt. Colin P. Kelly,
Jr., for scoring three direct hits
on a Japanese battleship of the
Haruna class and leaving her
in flames.
That same announcement told
e Capt KeUy's death,
(No details of Capt Kelly's
feat were given but it was pre
sumed he died in the attack on
the ship. The war department in
Washington said the vessel later
sank.)
The Japanese attack, on the
Manila-Cavite area was made by
a large number of planes flying
high above the anti-aircraft gun
range.
Admiral Hart said the tech
nique and efficiency of the Jap
anese were of a very high order
and that "all In all it must be
considered that the Japanese
raid was successful from the
Japanese standpoint"
He - told newspapermen the
Japanese were using two types
of bombs. Incendiaries "and
they work" and fragmentation
bombs.
Admiral Hart said he had re
ceived no word ol the activities
of United States submarines, but
added:
"When the news - comes It
should be big news.
"Our submarines pack a big
punch. When a torpedo bits any
thing it stays hit But a sub
marine Is like a big gam hunt
er with an elephant gun who
sits hour after hour, day after
day, awaiting his prey. Some
times it takes a long time to get
results."
E
Klamath county defense sav
ings committee is calling on all
employers to install the payroll
allotment plan so their em
ployes may have all the oppor
tunity of buying defense bonds
on the partial payment plan.
Many of the large mills and a
great many of the local stores
and Industrial plants have al
ready got the plan under way
and working effectively, accord
ing to Andrew Collier, Klamath
county chairman. The plan is to
step up accounting so the em
ploye may authorize a salary
deduction each month, no mat
ter how small, and as soon as
the employe has accumulated
credit of $18.79 the company
shall purchase a bond registered
in employe's name and deliver
to him.
Employers are urged not to
wait for committee men to call
on them but to offer the plan
to their employes immediately.
For further information call
Vent Owens, chairman of the
retail trade and payroll com
mittee at the California Oregon
Fower company or A. M. Col
lier at the Klamath Ice and
Storage company. Blanks for
payroll deduction authorization
will be supplied. Employers and
business men are urged to set
the example in systematic buy
ing of defense bonds as this is
the most definite way "home
folks" can serve our country in
tuts time of national emergency.

that Midway and Guam had

In his cable to King George,
President Roosevelt said the
United States and Great Britain
"are now full comrades In arms"
and that "the forces which have
plunged the world into war,
however strong, can not prevail
against the indomitable strength
of free peoples fighting in a just
cause."
King George had cabled the
president that the British Empire
was proud to fight at the side
of the United States.
The nation was cheered by an
offical announcement in Manila
that Japanese warships had (led
when contacted by ships of the
United States fleet in the Paci
fic. This came close behind an
nouncement of three smashing;
blows reported against tho J Hp
fleet. On the other hand, new
word of invasion came from the
Philippines.
To finance the tremendous
war effort congressional leaders
announced after a conference
with Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau that legislation to

coasts.

Japanese were "augmenting
their forces at Aparrl and Vigan.

stantiation that the enemy had
established itself, at Vigan
though landings at Aparrl had
been admitted and an army
spokesman had acknowledged
that the Japs had improved ineir
strength in' northern Lazon.
