AUSTIN, Assistant Chiet of Staff, T. 8. N. ABOARD U. 8. S. CALIFORNIA, OFF HAWALL, February 8 (#)—The “Battle of Hawali” proceeds, with strategic movements leaving the issue still in doubt Yesterday's “air show,” when 144 ¢Blue” fighters, scouts and | bombers, Paid compliments to the “Black” forces defending Oahu in the working out of wvital problems in Navy technique was not the only operation initiated during the day by Admiral Richard Leigh's attacking fleet. The second was marked by the arrival of our advanced security force at Hilo, on the “Big Island” of Hawail. Preceded by Cruisers. ‘This detachment is made up of three light cruisers, Concord, Cincinnati and Omaha, recently added to the battle force, plus two destroyers, those handy vessels so useful when submarines are around It has not been mentioned before, but *Blue” had 36 perfectly good planes normally based at Pearl Harbor and now at Hilo. They may need some as- sistance if they receive any serious at- tention from “Black.” Our cruiser force, with its destroyers, went ahead of our main body to afford that assistance should it be required TIts safe arrival has not been jeopardized so far as enemy s e and subsurface vessels are concerned, for our ships have the gun power needed—or, if they must call upon it, the speed. Nearby Base Necessary. Any enemy seeking to capture Hono- Julu would require a nearby base from which to operate. We have the base at Hilo, and from now until the final as- sault “Blue” will give the enemy little rest. The harassing attacks of yesterday are the prelude to & series of raids de- signed to damage and exhaust and to mislead as to where and when the final assault will take place. BIG GUNS TRAINED ON SEA. #Black” Defenders Ready to “Battle” Fleet and Invading Planes. HONOLULU, February 8 (#).—Army artillerymen trained the muzzles of their guns on sea and sky today, ready to battle Navy ships and planes in what perhaps are the most realistic war ma- neuvers the Nation's armed forces ever have undertaken. The Hawaiian Islands, for the pur- of the maneuvers, are presumed to ggsfn the possession of a non-American force, which in practice comprises the 15,000 Army personnel here and a small Navy detachment. This is known as the “Black” force. The battle force of the United States Navy is the “Blue” force trying to batter down the “Black” defense and recapture the islands. Hope to Prevent Landing. 1If the “Blue” force succeeds in put- ting ashore the 40,000 troops it is trans- rting here from the American main- ylohd it will be over the figurative dead bodies of the “Black” soldiers. Within a radius of 50 miles of Oahu the few Navy craft assisting in the “Black” defense are maintaining a care- ful patrol lest the “Blue” slip into an attacking position unobserved. Army planes are ranging even farther out to sea. Honolulu's civilian population has Joined into the game with enthusiasm. After the first engagement Sunday be- tween “Biack” anti-aircraft guns and the “Blue” planes, telephones rang a continuous chorus in newspaper offices inquiring as to the progress of the battle. Favorable for Defense. ‘With every equipment of modern war- fare at their command. the “Black” de- fenders have made this island a net- work of guns and men so placed that they can sweep with artillery, machine gun, or rifie fire each of the limited points at which the enemy can land. The natural layout of Oahu favors its defenders. Throughout the length of this island run two mountain ranges, each dropping almost straight down to, the sea. At one end of the intervening valley is Honolulu and its harbor, at the other end an open beach and small bays. 2 s STEAMER IS ICE-BOUND ‘Krassin Goes to Rescue of Ship Last Seen December 4.

Metallized wood has all the char- acteristics of the untreated wood as far as workability is concerned, but it possesses greater density and has little tendency to swell, warp or burn. After being dried thoroughly it is immersed in molten metal and subjected to a pressure which forces the metal into the tiny interstices through the wood.
