however, did offectlvo noftenlnit

wuvo lent uiliiliml It (urcd much
better until finally it wu tuken
over by tho miirlni'n. Out of the
4000 Jupi ncemlnu to bo on the
Ulmiti 4U pritoncr were taken.
The corporal explained the
reuoii they didn't take prison
er wa becauiio the Jup could
not bo trusted tinder any cir
cumstance. They are so full of
treachery. Quo iniitancu he cited
wu when thrco Jiiu wero taken
by two marines. Tncy came
mnrchlntf up with their arms
halt raucd. When they came up
to tile murine, who proceeded
to teurclt them, they let full six
hind ureniidc which they were
carryluii concealed In their arm
fill and blow themselves and
wo murine Into bit,
Another trick they had was
when a detachment of marines
would capturo u murhineKuii
nest of three Jup. The three
Japs would advance u told to
ward tho iiroup of murines.
When they not fairly close the
mlddia Jap would suddenly drop
flat on hi stomach and the two
on each side of him would fall
on him and start firing a small
machlncgun strapped to the mid
dle Jap' buck. The group of
marine would thus be mowed
down to tho lost man, Conelu
ilon no Japs were to be trusted
to they were shot.
Another trick or typo of fight
ing was after tho thrco came
marching out of tho foxhole to
pull tho mochincgun trick they
were henceforth shot. The ma
rine then would take a hurried
look at the foxhole. Apparently
it wu empty so they would go
on. Subsequent marines follow
ing up supposed everything was
clear but to their amazement a
machlno commenced belching
hot lead at them from tho same
foxhole, catching the soldier off
guard and killing large numbers
of them quickly. After tho fox
hole was again silenced a more
thorough examination wos mudc.
It would then bo discovered that
another foxhole wu built be
neath tho ono on top with a mil
chlncgun crew In it ready to take
the placo of the top hole crew
if necessary. Sometimes even a
third nolo would bo found witli
a crew In It, constructed verti
cally below tho top foxhola. The
answer to this menace was auiek-
ly solved by tho fast-thinking
and practical marines, they
simply advanced to tho foxhole
with a largo bulldozer 'and Just
buried tho foxhole with tons of
mud and dirt. Then over the
hole proceeded the American
army, with their trucks and
heavy equipment.
