That we eventually will fight our way back and regain what has been seized from us ond the Filipino people Is certain. But when our victory will come none can tell. For the present it appears that events arc shaping up like this: 1. Our forces in the Philip pines, without means of rein forcement and dependable linos of supply are in (lunger of being overwhelmed. They will suffer heavy casualties and many of them arc likely to be taken pris Ing in tho thin cool air of cloud- land islands 5000 miles away and three miles up in the sky, hove been sabotaging the United States fighting machine for the last six months in Bolivia. They have been slowing up, bit by bit, the output of tin with out which there can be no bear ings to swing guns, move tanks, propel battleships. The story of their treachery can be told now that their bold est move, attempted rupture of the railroad on which the tin travels from Bolivian interior mines to seaports in Chile and Peru, has been foiled and their plotting revealed and nullified. The general methods of the saboteurs have been known to the state department and the army for months. Lato last spring the United States legation in Lapaz con firmed from other sources in. formation given to me on a tour of tho Bolivian mining regions. At that time, German mine foremen outspokenly sympa thetlc to the nazl cause were dis. covered to bo slowing down tin production through their In fluence on Indian miners. There was no apparent ex planation for these slowdowns, no reason for them which engi neers responsible for mino pro duction could discover. But the mine books showed tin output fell between 20 and SO per cent after President Roosevelt pro claimed all-out aid to England. The books, which wera opened to me, showed that the slow downs were occurring only in mine shafts under German tech nical supervision. The situation then was con sidered sufficiently serious that young United States engineers were planted among the Ger mans to get evidence of the sabo tage and to prevent any calam itous shortage. These counter-espionage agents reported thot tho Germans were not only talking discouragement to the Indians but woro actively fomenting strikes and organiz ing nazl cells within the mining camps. One young engineer took mq into tho mines on the chilly sides of Bolivia's 14,000 to 15,000 foot plateaus so high up it Is diffi cult for strangers to breathe and overexertion becomes dan gerous and introduced me to some of the men he said were causing tho trouble.

There is no news of the j whereabouts of the Asiatic fleet. If it was or Is In Cavite. near Manila, it may have suffered heavy losses. It is always pos sible that a part of this fleet may be at sea and able to reach bases which arc available to us at Singapore, in The Netherlands Indies and Australia. The Asiatic fleet had an unusually large number of submarines and these American Patrol Boat Meets U. S. Ship Bound for Alaska JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 2 (UP) The searchlights of an American patrol boat cut swaths through the inky darkness and focused on the U. S. flag flying at the stern. "What ship and where bound?" the officer of the gun boat demanded, his voice reach ing us hollowly through a mega phone. Each of the 109 passengers aboard the S. S. Baranof, two days out of Seattle and Alaska- I bound, were Jittery. Proceeding slowly through the inside pas sage without running lights, we had almost rammed the small patrol boat. After positive Identification had been made, we were allowed to proceed and the tension re laxed. Three hours out of Seattle, the ship's public address system loudspeakers buzzed and crackl ed and tthe voice of Caot. Joseph Ramsauer, Lt.-Comdr., USNR, called for attention. "Everyone, listen carefully please. This is an emergency. This ship will black out com pletely nightly between the hours of 5 p. m. and 7:30 a. m , until we reach our destination. No smoking on deck during these hours. Your fullest co operation Is expected. This is an emergency. This Is war. Thank you." The Baranof, 8000 gross tons, was one of the first merchant vessels to ply combat waters north since the Japanese attack on Peorl Harbor. She carried cargo and construction workers vital to the brond defense pro grnm now in full swing through out Alaska. Every porthole and window except those in tho pilot house were coated with thick black paint. Heavy cloth was draped over outlets to the decks. A half-hearted attempt was made to celebrate Christmas eve in tho ship's smoke-filled social room for the ten women passen gers. A Ihrco-piecc girl orchestra played carols and a few men sang. But at 10 p. m. everyone Joined In singing the national anthem and then retired. Christmas day the gloom was dispelled with brilliant sunshine and spirits rose.

If the Japanese consolidate their positions in the Philippines they will have another powerful base for their operations against Singapore and The Netherlands Indies. A glance at the map will show how the Philippines flank the eastern and southern ap proaches to Singapore. 5. A Tokyo radiocast asserting the Philippines government has moved to Port Darwin, Australia may or may not be correct. It is possible Tokyo disseminated the report in an effort to pro voke a statement from Washing ton which would give it needed information. If true, however, the statement would seem to be good news for it would indicate that President Manuel Quezon of the Philippines commonwealth is pro pared, if necessary, to set up a government-m-exile which could continue to direct Filipino guerilla resistance and which would serve as a rallying point for the thousands of Fili pinos resident in the United United States and other coun tries. ly visible, passed overhead, lazi ly moving south in the direction of Vancouver, B. C. Of tho passengers, the major ity were carpenters, metal work ers, 'cat drivers, surveyors and "white collar men" en route to Women's bay on Kodiak island, middle link in the U. S. chain of naval fortifications extending from Sitka on the east to Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian islands. All were under contract to Siems-Drake Construction com pany, signed in Seattle for the "duration." Hard work and long hours, but big money, lured the men from San Francisco, Fresno and Los Angeles in California; Port land, Eugene, Klamath Falls and Medford in Oregon, and Seattle, Aberdeen and Everett in Wash ington, to tha "land of the mid night sun." Many were dissatisfied upon hearing reports from those who had been in Alaska before that darkness might limit working shifts to but 10 hours a day. A 19-year-old youth, just out of high school, who had signed as a "flunkey," proudly dis played a contract guaranteeing him 945 per week, plus board and room. Experienced carpenters talked of contracts allowing $1.50 an hour, with double pay for over timemeaning salaries In ex cess of $100 weekly. Typical of the feeling of these men headed for hardship and social privation was the com ment of Al Brentlinger, 34-year-old national prone sharp shooting champion of Eugene, Oregon. "1 plan to stay on Kodiak for the duration. My only hope is that the authorities will give us rifles in case the Japs come over. I'd like to go down shooting, any way. We've had things too easy in this country. Now that tho war is upon us, it's a test of the real thing. Many of us will find out whether we consider the privileges we've had worth fight ing for." ' Brentlinger won his sharp shooting honors at Camp Perry, O., last Sept. 8. He still talks about the motor trip east from Eugene with his wife. The tall, rangy marksman typically American will stick it out on Kodiak if any of those aboard the Baranof Will.

The average German worker, according to estimates, worked 58 hours a week and earned $8, in 1930. ' - STOCK DEALERS UN CALM AT WAR NEWS NEW YORK, Jan. 2 P Composuro was the word for most stock market leaders to day in the face of discouraging, if hardly surprising, war news from the Philippines. While oils were relatively weak, some losing 2 points at the worst, mail orders revived, along with rails, steels, farm implements and assorted spe cialties. Gains of fractions to 2 or so predominated at the close. Transfers of around 450,000 shares were among the smallest for a full day since early Oc tober. A brisk rally In agricultural commodity futures aided specu lative sentiment for stocks. The staples group was buoyed by the approval of a senate sub committee of price ceiling on major farm products at not less than 110 per cent of parity. The sharp fall in the day's stock turnover represented the cessation of heavy tax selling, brokers said, and the fact many potential buyers for reinvest ment inclined to step lightly pending the outlook for Industry In the light of broadening gov ernmental controls. Among better share movers were Southern Railway, South em Pacific, Santa Fe, Pennsyl vania, Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck, J. I. Case, Internation al Harvester, U. S.
