DETERMINED STAND
MADE AGAINST HEAVY ODDS IN JAVA Guerrilla Fighting Probably Continued in Other Islands JAPANESE HOLDING ONLY PORTS AND AERODROMES DUTCH AND ALLIES HAVE NOT THROWN IN THEIR HANDS (By Telegraph—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.20 a.m.) RUGBY, March 6. It is pointed out in authoritative circles in London that although there is little fresh news from Java, the Allied troops are making an extremely determined defence. It is also observed that, although there may be no news of fighting in other islands, such as Sumatra, Borneo, Timor, and Celebes, it should not be inferred that no fighting is going on. Although the Japanese claim to be in control of these islands, they only speak of ports and aerodromes, but the Dutch and the Allies have by no means thrown in their hands. When troops take to this type of guerilla fighting, news is difficult to obtain, as any wireless sets they possess would not have the range to give details of what is happening.
