And the Sixth Imperial Division struck. who have slopped through the Jungles and won our battles for us.1 Gen Arnold's wife, Mrs.

Elizabeth Mullen Arnold, and his four children, live at 484 Lake avenue. He was graduated from West Point in 1924, and subsequently was stationed for two at Jefferson Barracks. Besides the Bronze Star, he also has been decorated with the Legion of Merit. He is 43 years old. Star Medal for bravery in the face of enemy action at Munda, on New Georgia Island.

As Chief of Staff of a corps attacking Japanese positions there he worked his way ahead of our lines to obtain firsthand information. Although under heavy Japanese machine-gun and mortar fire he made his way to within 25 yards of an infantry engagement. When I congratulated him on his award, Gen. Arnold smilingly replied: "I'd rather see every one of those lads in the line companies, the ones who really fought and won their battles with guns and quiet courage, get the medals than to have staff officers decorated. I don't mean to suggest that many commanding officers have not earned ribbons out here in the Solomons but in the final analysis the greatest credit must go to the little men, the Joe Smiths once it's been fairly comfortable, if you can apply such a term to jungle warfare.

I have seen the shell-blasted trees, the battered pillboxes and the ravaged ground where for 18 terrible days the soldiers of Nippon tried to force their way to a coveted objective: Piva airstrip. And I have talked with men who held them back. I am quite prepared to agree, without reservation, to Gen. Arnold's praise of their defense.

Kanda Maka-tane, commander of the Sixth Im perial Division, just before the attack To avenge our mortification since Guadalcanal Will be our duty true and supreme Strike, strike, and strike again Until the enemy is humbled forever; Brighten with the blood of the American devils The color of the renowned en-signia on our arms The cry of victory at Torokina Bay Shall resound to the shores of our beloved Nippon. We are invincible; No foe can equal our might. To attain our aims we must always attack, And our enemies we must smite; Danger comes soonest when it is despised.

The enemy's intelligence seriously underestimated the strength and depth of our defenses. They also failed to take into account one highly important thing: the morale and fighting spirit of our troops. The Thirty-seventh and Americal divisions are seasoned veterans of the Solomons, and the jungle might, with its weird sounds and awful silences, holds no terrors for them.

When forced back, they did so in a masterly way, extracting countless casualties before giving up a single pillbox to the screaming, fanatical enemy.
