Fanatical Japanese
(Special Australian Correspondent.) SYDNEY, Sept. 1. The fanatical attitude of the Japanese forces opposing the American marines in the Solomons is illustrated by a story related by Mr Robert Miller, a war correspondent.
“Most of the prisoners,” he said, “indicated that they would prefer death. The sole Japanese survivor of one attack said: T personally am not ashamed of my actions, but, according to the Japanese code, 1 am listed dead and my return would disgrace my family. If I had had a gun, I would never have been taken alive.”
