Japs Still Fighting World
p. 27 · Read in the full issue
War Ii
THE American Navy has given in and will allow the Japanese garrison on a tiny atoll in the Marianas to go on fighting World War 11.
The Japs escaped to the island when the Americans captured Saipan six years ago. Since the end of the war, the US Navy has done everything to convince the defenders that the war is over—but to no avail. The Japs have placed machine guns at strategic points and evidently mean to fight to the last. The Navy could blast them out—but they do not want the island and they are not anxious to lose lives needlessly. So they will leave the Japs to continue with the war undisturbed.
Mrs. W. Wright, of Madang, New Guinea, with her two children will go to Australia in October. Mr. Wright will join them in December.
