: casualties were Inflicted on de
fenders of the tiny U. S. outpost,
1149 miles northwest of Hawaii
' and 2600 miles southeast of
Tokyo, a communique said.
Turning the surprise attack
into a staggering defeat, Amer
ican fighters including marines,
sea and air forces were official
ly credited with damaging a
Japanese battleship, an aircraft
' carrier and possibly other war
, ships, as well as taking a heavy
' toll of planes.
- Thousands of miles to the
west, other naval actions marked

British sea-borne forces cap

As the far Pacific conflict
: surged toward the end of its
; sixth month, Washington experts
viewed the Japanese attack on
Midway and the "feeler" raids
on Dutch Harbor, Alaska, as
foreshadowing more violent en-
my action on the American side
of the Pacific.
These quarters said Japan
now was apparently bent on
weakening America's rising of
fensive power in the Pacific
a threat to Japan s own island
empire as well as to her far
flung invasion armies and -pos
sibly hoped to bring the war
within striking distance of the
Pacific oast. '
Blows at Midway and Alaska
might be intended to clear the
way for "a new attack on Pearl
Harbor, the western U. S. coast
and the Panama canal.

upon its course depends in major
degree the outcome of the entire
World war, both in Europe and
the Pacific.
Private advices state that the
nazi chief has ready for action
some 200 divisions of fresh
troops say in the neighborhood
Of two and three quarter million
men. These are in addition to
the million and a half who have
been holding the long Russian
line during the past fierce win
ter of Napoleonic tragedy. They
are resting on new arms which
have been pouring from the hard
pushed factories of Germany and
the occupied countries.
Then we have that vast nazi
air fleet which has been largely
idle for months. Hitler
ently has been husbanding and
eaaing to his aerial striking pow
er for coming events. The
strength of this armada is, of
course, problematical but mil
itary experts are agreed that It
is a mighty force.
All this sounds formidable
nd Indeed it is. Any allied com
placency because of recent suc
cesses certainly would be badly
mispiacea, ana it should be em
phasized that the allied high
command is in no way under
rating Hitler's strength. He is
dangerous enemy.

him is a Russian force which
numerically is superior. Whether
the Reds are equipped to with
stand the mechanized German
onslaught cannot be answered In
advance of the event
We can say, though, that If
the Russians can hold the Ger
mans keep them from breaking
through to the resources of the
Caucasus and Middle East then
the allies will have Herr Hitler
neatly speared on the toasting
form. In other words the Reds
don't have to roll the Hitlerites
back and invade Germany at this
juncture in order to achieve
ultimate victory.

The blast, heard for a radius
of 50 miles at 2:45 a. m., Central
war time, destroyed the shipping
building of group two of the El
wood ordnance shell loading
plant, which had been described
by its director as the largest in
the world.
Captain Tunstall said there
was no hint of sabotage, but that
its possibility would be invest!

" Tunstall emphasized that oper

The plant was designed with the
view of preventing and minimiz
ing explosions and was scattered
over a large area of southern
Will county south of Joliet.
The bombs that Gen. James
Doollttle dropped in Tokyo pos
sibly came from the Elwood
loading plant and its companion
plant, the Kankakee ordnance
TNT works, a government
spokesman recently said.
The two plants were in pro
duction some time before Pearl
Harbor.
Tunstall said the wrecked
building, a brick and concrete
one story structure about 75 feet
wide and 275 feet long, housed
only the shipping facilities of
one unit of the vast plant. Load'
ing operations, in three other
buildings in the vicinity, will not
be interrupted, he said.
Under censorship, there was
no information about the total
