'I'HE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— EAU ALASKA ‘ha~ been dernmch defeated. Present Japanese move- ments suggest that she may be accepting that defeat to gather her strength on the right flank. That lies |beyond the western end of New Guinea at Amboina, { Timor, Flores and the Aru Islands. Enemy trans- ports are ‘constantly streaming to a central rendez- vous at Dobo. Amboina is already a great naval and lair base.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: !By persistent and constant bombing |the United Nations will make such headway that the Axis forces will take desperate measures toward a {possible armistice.

Among prominent visitors expected to come to Juneau and other Alaskan cities during the coming summer was George Eastman, of the Eastman Kodak Company, who had written to Gov. Scott C. Bone that he would spend several weeks in the North in August and September. He was to be accompanied on his trip by George B. Dryden, Francis S. Macomber and Dr. Audrey D. Stewart. They planned to spend several weeks in the Cassiar district hunting. Mrs. Clarence Gere, who had been Ruth Condit, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. H.
