Expect New Jap Thrust Soon In Philippines
By United Press
Washington, March 10. — Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces on Bataan peninsula braced themselves today for a "Nazi-style" Japanese offensive that may be more savage than any they have met and crushed in their 13 weeks of amazing resistance.
Military officials said Lieut. Gen. Gomoyuki Yamashita, fresh from his conquests of Malaya and Singapore, presumably would unleash a fullscale assault in the Philippines at the earliest opportunity.
Yamachita, sent to replace Lieut. Gen. Masaharu Homma who is reported to have committed Hari-Kiri to escape disgrace because of his military failures, undoubtedly bore instructions from Japanese leaders in Tokyo to crush MacArthur at all costs.
"He is a hard-driving commander, as Prussian as he is Japanese in his tactics, and you can be sure that he is now busily reorganizing Japan's 200,000 or more troops in the Philippines for what may well be MacArthur's supreme hour," one official said.
War Department quarters believed that Yamashita, in contrast with the discredited Homma, would launch attempted "knockout" with:
4. Heavy emphasis on German methods learned when he visited Germany a year ago to study Nazi warfare and became an ardent champion of "Biltz" warfare.
2. Greater use of planes against MacArthur's little army, which possesses only a handful of P-49 fighters.
Recently Japanese heavy bombers and dive-bombers were reported to have been withdrawn from the Philippines and shifted nearly 2,000 miles southward for the assault on Java, giving MacArthur's P-40's an opportunity to strike at Japanese shipping in Subic Bay where five vessels totaling more than 30,000 tons were sunk without challenge from enemy planes. These Japanese planes and possibly others soon may be returned to the Philippines, military men believe.
Yamashita, if he goes in heavily for coordination of air and ground forces against MacArthur, may decide upon simultaneous all-out assaults upon the Bataan battlefront and upon Corregidor fortress in Manila Bay—backbone of MacArthur's defense. So long as Corregidor with its battleship-size guns holds out the Japanese cannot use Manila Bay.
Latest advices to the War Department from MacArthur told of an continuous calm that has settled over the Bataan battlefront. The Japanese are making no attempt to recapture the ground lost to MacArthur's recent surprise counter-drive, in the midst of which Homma is reported to have taken his life.
Military men awaited eagerly the big test between MacArthur and Yamashita, both of whom were listed among the world's 10 outstanding generals picked by military experts in London two days ago.

U.S. General On Staff Of China Army
Chungking, March 10—(UP)—Maj. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, of the United States army has been named chief of staff to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek in the China war zone, effective immediately, the ministry of information announced today.
It was announced also that Gen. Shiung Shih-Hui, former governor of Kiangsi province, will head a Chinese military mission to Washington. The information chief, Wang Shih Chieh, said the military mission would participate in the Pacific war conferences and would strive to insure closer Chinese-American military cooperation.
Stilwell named by President Roosevelt to a "special mission," arrived in Chungking from India several days ago.
Chungking sources said then that the American probably would take a major part in military operations in the China area, and help prepare China proper as a springboard for eventual counter-invasion of Japan.
Stillwil, a native Floridan, now is only nine days from his sixtieth birthday.
He is a 1904 graduate of West Point and is a specialist in infantry.

Melbourne, Australia, March 10- Netherlands officers, arriving from Java, confirmed today that the Dutch forces had asked an armistice in the Bandoo area where some troops and practically the entire European population, including many women and children, were trapped.
Dutch Ask Japs For Armistice In One Area
It was not known here whether the small United States force and the British and Australian forces fighting with the Netherlands East Indies army had been affected by the armistice.
By UNITED PRESS
The Dutch officers told a tragic story of Japanese aerial superiority which led to the Bandoeng armistice plea.
"Battalion after battalion broke under the strain, shocked and demoralized by the bombing and their despair at never seeing a friendly airplane in the sky," one said.
They estimated that the Japanese had landed another 50,000 men in Java last Saturday and that they had now three divisions, or up to 60,000 men, near Soerabaja, the naval base at the east end of Java.

GENERAL FUNSTON---
(continued from page stx.) entered Aguinaldo's headquarters without suspicion, and easily effected the capture of the rebel leader, thus smashing the heart of the rebellion. To close shop with a strongly ironical note, we quote from Funston's book on his experiences in Cuba and the Philippines, "Memories of Two Wars,": "He (Aguinaldo) is a man of many excellent qualities, far

and away the best Filipino I ever was brought in contact with." Funston died in 1917, so he is psared the grief of seeing Aguinaldo displaying a few of his less excellent qualities today.
