Pacific War Front

The enemy now holds Indo-

China, Malaya, Borneo, Celebes, Amboina, New Guinea, New Britain, New Ireland; and the line of the actual battle-front is now (January 14) between those places (clearly shown on map) and the line of Sumatra, Java, Flores, Timor, North Australia and Papua, where the enemy is being resisted by British, Dutch, Australians and Americans. The Japanese line runs north-east from New Ireland through Carolines, Marshalls and Marianas, to Japan, and from that line the enemy faces the United States forces, in the east.
