War Situation Last Night

By Glenn Babb, Associated Press War Analyst

Jlllln observed Navy Day yesterday but apparently her fleet; rc- niained well away irons the spots where they might have gained fresh glory in battle.

Instead. his Imperial Jlvanese Maiestrs Nlvy celebrated It! holiday by fighting a doughty war over the ether, exchanging messages of im- tcrnity and solidarity with its German and Italian Allies-also safe in their harbors-and broadcasting recollections of past victories.

Jllllnfii Navy Day is the anniversary oi the 1905 battle oi Tsushima in which Togo's fleet annihiln ’ the Russians under Rodjestvensky in the narrow seas between Korea and Japan.

From Tsushinia and the legends which gervv up around it sprang the "lions which left the Admirals who were fledgling enslgns in 19- 05 to believe themselves possessed of sufficient poivcr to challenge the combined navies oi the British Empire and the United States.

One of these ensign; at Tsushima was lsoroku Yiimamoto. who a generation later was coinmander-in-chiel’ oi the grand fleet, the great ‘logo's own post. lie died last month—in sir combat, according to Tokyo's somewhat mysterious account-and his death threw a. pail (IVCI the Navy Day observance. But this mourning is not sufficient to account for the sonibreness of the Navy Day proceedings reflected in Tokyo's own broadcasts. There is also the legacy of mounting adversity and im. pending defeat that Yamamoto left for his successor. _The index of the situation is found in the absence of the Japanese navy from the MM proceedings. unless m. flights of sari-mm: simm- ers which attacked American warships off the island a few days ago at heavy cost to themselves can be assumed to represent the flcet.
