were
given

stamp
today
although
what

obscure.
The
German
radio
said
that
a
military
convention
signed
on
Sun-day
by
Germany,
Italy
and
Japan
provided
for
"proper
and
appropriated
distribution
of
military
forces
in

for
operations
of
great
striking

which
will
be
of
outstanding

There
is
no

of

where
the
move
may
come,
if
it
materializes,
but
somewhere
in
the

is
thought
likely.

The
battle
for
Singapore
and

of
the

Pacific
swung
into
new
stages
of
bitterness
and
ferocity
today
as
the
Japanese
threw
troops
at
a
sector
Jicld
by
the
Australians
in
Johorc
State,
some
110
miles
north
of
Singapore,
and
attempted
flanking
landings
on

coast.

broadcast
from

reported
that
the
Japanese
had
captured
Pointian

twenty-five
miles
from
Singapore,
but
a
British
communique
spoke
of
pressure
on
the
Segemat
front
which
is
ninety-five
miles
from
Singapore.
The
Australian
leader,
Major
General
Gordon
IJcn-nett,
called
for
an
aggressive
policy
and
some
successes
against

were
reported.
