Days of steady air attacks by British and United States fliers upon GcrmBn-Italian air fields and communications opened, the way for the ground push. "Fierce fighting developed and is continuing," said a terse communique issued Jointly by British headquarters and the RAF. Eight enemy fighters were de clared destroyed and many-others damaged yesterday In this aerial action against- the German-Italian forces on the El Ala meln front.

There Is a disturbing admis sion, however, that tho Japs havo effected landings on Islands In the close vicinity of Guadalca nal, from which tho assault on our positions can be pushed ad vantageously. There has been a shake-up In our naval command In the South Pacific whose reasons are not apparent to us outsiders. yHE Japs, however, have NOT .x YET launched the ALL-OUT attack which they obviously have tho strength to launch at any time they are willing to take the risks that would be involved. That suggests the hopeful thought that the over-all situa tion may be better than, on the face of scanty news available to us outsiders, It appears to be.
