Ft. Greely, has allowed only one
hit and one run, while striking

WAR OF TODAY
NON-STOP DEAI
_ !
U. S. PACIFIC FLLET HEAD-;
QUARTERS AT PEARL HAR-;
BOR, Aug. 18.—<AP)—The war of^
today, with its triphammer blows!
from mighty American forces'
based in the Mariannas Islands,
as an outlook to Japan, is a non
stop affair, said Admiral Chester
W. Nimitz today.
The thrust in various directions
will be impelled by “the power
house tactics, of the powerful
Fifth fleet, under Admiral Ray
mond Spraunce, and the Third
fleet under Admiral William Hal-;
sey, who are ready to wage the
i kind of war he has in mind. While
the one strikes, the other will plan
a new opera’ion.
“We believe,” he said, “in pow-^
erhouse tactics, and want what!
we undertake to go through, and
have not reached the stage where;
we can hold anything back.”
As if to illustrate Nimitz’
words, alilied warplanes are keep
ing on the Jap’s “tail”, through
out the vast Pacific theatre in
i eluding Halmahera.
Nimitz also announced the raids
! on the seaplane base at Chichi
Island in the Bonins, while the
11th Army Liberators made pre
dawn attacks on Paramushiro in
; the Kuriles, extending the raids
! on the northern Japanese islands
! through the fourth consecutive
day.
