But the troops were unskilled and their attacks not co-ordinat- ed. Every one of them today was beaten back with severe losses. More than 130 prisoners were taken and the total for the nine-dsy-old operation rose to

0.000.

The Allies had the advantage in the number of Buns but with the estimated 300 field pieces they had, the Germans were pounding away for all their worth on the roads behind the Allied lines.

The tactical air force took the skies in the early afternoon and from then on the skies were ful-l of aircraft as fighter bomb- era roared over lo give close sup- port to the ground troops.

The Germans here are at their bed when in entrenchmenis on the ddensive. In counter-attacks they do not shine. Today, knot! of Germans who were supposed to be columnar-attacking were wand- ering aimlessly around the battle- field and it was obvious that they were out of communication with their headquarters.

GUAM, Feb. 17- (Saturtlay) -- (AP) — Tokyo is undergoing the powerful ss- sault of more than 1,500 carrier planes today for the second straight day and bom- barding bnttleahips and cruisers still are shelling the already heavily damaged en- eaay air base of Iwo Jima, 750 miles south of the J apanesg capital.

Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, U. S. Pacific fleet commander, disclosed in a terse Wmmllllique that the 5th Fleet, in unprecedented strength,‘ is remaining within 300 miles of Japan—apparently still unchallenged by Japan's home defence fleet.
