* 12TH RAID IS
MADE ON WAKE
PEARL HARBOR, Feb. 11.—
<AP)—The 12th raid of the war
on Wake Island, 2,000 miles west
of here, captured by the Japanese
December 24, 1941, and continu
ing attacks by America^ warships
h and planes on unidentified atolls
in the Marshall group, was an
nounced by Admiral Chester W.
Nimitz, today.
The new blows in the Marshall
atolls were sustained assaults on
Japanese positions through yester
day, the fourth day, and continued
lay, in an invasion campaign to
clear the archiepelago of the ene
my.
Not a single plane was reported
lost in any of the operations, nor
was there any report of ship dam
age.
The bombarded atolls in the
Marshall Islands were not identi
fied in the communiques, in the
policy of the navy, in keeping the
Japanese high command guessing
the direction of attacks.

Feb. 11.—(AP>—The climax of

j During the campaign the bul

after which the drive became
more doggedly difficult.
'The'"Taft Its made amphibious*
landings at Saidor on January 2nd
when the Aussies were more than
tvj n/iikj below them on the coast.
The juncture of the forces
probably signalized a drive along
the coast to the big Japanese base

Saidor. Allied fliers have already
reported indications that the Jap
anese may have abandoned that
coastal base.
