Everything the troops ate or shot, their clothing, fuel and even their living accommodations had to be brought from Japan. Already the Japanese have paid a comparatively heavy cost for their Incursion. Eight of their . ships Including sis destroyers, a transport and a cruiser, have been sunk: a destroyer probably sunk, and nine other vessels. IntTlidlng four destroyers and an aircraft carrier damaged U. 8 army-navy operations have been placed under tislflcd command of a naval officer, a move possibly Indicating more Intensive efforts to drive the enemy out. The Pribolof Islands are strategically Important only in their comparative proximity to the naval station at Dutch Harbor and to Alas- • ka. They are In the Bering Sea and consist of four islands —St. Paul. St. George. Otter, and Walrus. The latter two are small and uninhabited but St. Paul and St. George Islands are Important because they contain the largest and m<«t numerous seal rookeries of the world.

Fogs are especially thick and prevalent in the area during the summer and detached ice fields are geterally found in the vicinity from February to May The Islands have no harbors worthy of that designation and anchorages are available only when the wind is off shore. ,o ■ — ALLIED PLANES (Continued From Paco 1) cd on me One came up and I let him have It. He blew up 50 yards from me and disappeared in a puff of smoke. The three others were on my tail so I made for home, and boy! that's when I really got going.” "The Japanese bombers were on the way home when we attacked the leader of a flight of three,” another American pilot said. "I saw tracers smack into his nose. He fell out of the formation, having a gap. Believe me, I got well down in my seat. 1 felt bullets coming near me from the other two. I went straight on and almost collided head on with a zero. I let him have it and he holed my ship. I hit but I didn't stop to see what had happened.” A headquarters spokesman reported that two white women and a priest had escaped from the Goma mission July 21. Just before tlf»- Japanese landed. Allied and Japanese patrols were still in contact in the Kokoda area midway between the base and Port Moresby, but no new fighting was reported. Youngstsrs Finance Warcraft North Tonawanda.

U. S. AIRMEN BLAST (Continued From Pago 1) sent to bomb the Henyang base. Army fighters attacked the Zeros, destroyed four of them definitely, probably destroyed three more and completely broke up the Zero formation. The Americana lost one plane but no pilots. The Japanese bombers, which were cautiously following the tightens, turned back 20 miles from Henyang when the Zeros streaked past them nn the way home. Earlier Thursday, nine Japanese bombers tried to raid Henyang. Il wax still dark and (he American pilots had not had experience in night fighting. But they downed four of the nine with no losses. "Thus within a two-day period our fighters have accounted for a total of 17 Japanese bombers and destroyed with four more probables, and with do loss of American pilots." Gen. Stilwell's communique said. "The excellent warning service maintained by Chinese air and signa! units and the invaluable assistance rendered by the Chinese in all fields contribute largely to the suecees of the flgbtera. "The night operation waa particularly noteworthy In view of the feet tliat this was the first time any Japanese planes had been shot down over China at night."
