ships, a medium cargo ship and
Iwo small cargo ships.
Twenty - six probably were
sunk a destroyer, two large
whale tankers, a large trans
port, 10 largo cargo ships, and
12 medium cargo ships.
A floating drydock also prob
ably was sunk.
Ahead of Invasion
The Mitschcr-Halsey armada,
which since August 30 has ac
counted for 258 Japanese ships
and 908 planes, the bulk of
them in the jfnuippines area,
struck ahead of invasion forces
gathering in advanced bases
south and east of Mindanao.
Tokyo radio said 150 carrier
planes attacked in three waves
in the Manila sector in the
morning and 290 in the after
noon. It claimed 24 were down.
Tokyo announced that the pup
pet president, Jose P. Laurel,
declared martial law throughout
the Philippines, effective the
day of the raid.
Confidence
The dispatch of such a huge
fleet toward the Philippines re
flected confidence in the out
c o m e of the invasion of the
Palaus, 515 miles cast of Min
danao, where marines are lock
ed with ridge-entrenched Japa
nese in one of the mos1- savage
engagements of the Pacific war.
Nimitz, in a communique pre
ceding the special one on the
Manila raid, said the leather
necks on Peleliu in the south
ern Palaus have won all the
east shore and two small is
lands nearby, and have killed
more than 6000 Nipponese. But
3000 more Japanese, taking ad
vantage of the most difficult
terrain encountered by the
Americans anywhere in the Pa
cific, are putting up a bitter,
bloody stand on the west coast.
Ridge Key
(The key to the situation is a
ridge called "Bloody Nose" by
the marines. Today in a broad
cast from Peleliu, William
Ewing, Blue network correspon
dent, said the conquest of that
ridge in the Umurbrogol moun
tains was but a matter of hours).
Demonstrating that the Unit
ed States has the strength for
a diversity of actions, the day
of the Manila attack cruisers
and destroyers off Peleliu sup
ported the marines in their bit
ter struggle by pouring shells
into the enemy network of de
fenses. Air Umbrella
A constant umbrella of Amer
ican planes at the invasion scene
added their bombs to the at
tack, after which the marines
captured six more trench mor
tars and 31 machineguns. Other
planes swung north to prevent
Japanese air bases elsewhere in
the Palaus from interfering at
Peleliu. -
South of Peleliu, Angaur is
land has been completely con
quared by the 81st army divi
sion against much lighter oppo
sition than that massed against
the marines. There 800 Nippon
ese have been slain.

The pesperation-born stiffen
ing of the German stand was re
flected along the whole 500
mile allied front as well.
Lt Gen. George S. Patton's
third army power drive 19 miles
beyond Nancy plowed into fresh
enemy armored forces in the
Arrancourt area. Americans
and Germans fought through the
fourth day of the greatest tank
battles since Normandy.
Tank Battle
American tankmen in that
area ran into 45 more German
tanks as the morning mists lift
ed, after destroying 105 in three
days there. "
The German communique
said the allied push from Nij
megen had been halted, and that
an all-out attack had been
launched with the aim of anni
hilating the isolated remnants
at Arnhem, identified by Berlin
as the British first airborne di
vision. The Germans said yes
terday the division had largely
been wiped out.
Reports Vary
Another German broadcast
said the push from the south al
ready had linked up with the
Arnhem force. A third said the
Arnhem force already had been
liquidated. Again it was de-

clared that the fierce fight was
continuing' and that German
forces everywhere in Holland
had gone over to the counter
attack. Allied dispatches saying the
air-borne force still held the
Arnhem bridge was inconclusive,
as they were dated two days
ago.
(Against this the BBC quoted
a front reporter today as saying
the Germans still held the
bridge, but British troops had
established a bridgehead on the
north side end had the span it
self under fire. The Germans
were attempting to flee north
over the bridge, said this broad
cast recorded by CBS.)
Broaden Corridor
Meanwhile, the British shoved
out on both sides of Eindhoven,
to their rear, and broadened to
25 miles the base of their 45
mile deep corridor across Hol
land through which a ten-way
flow of men and armor was
streaming toward the river cross
ing nearest Berlin.
Somercn, 10 miles cast of
Eindhoven, and Wintelre, six
miles westward, were reached,
and the Waal crossing was made
secure by wiping out in Nij
megen itself a pocket of Ger
mans which advance elements
had not bothered with.
