WAR NEWS Washington, Feb. 11. ? To thwart any Axis grab for the oU wealth of the Dutch West Indies, the United Stafes announced to night that It had sent troops to the Duch Islands of Aruba and Curacao off the coast of Venezu ela. This follows up the govern ment's action last November in sending troops to Dutch Guiana, on the north coast of South Am erica, to guard t'he mines produc ing bauxite, from which alumi num is manufactured. Tonight's step was taken at a time when the Dutch East Indies, on the ot-her side of the world, are newly menaced by the immi nent fall of Singapore, and it was apparent' that the United States an<TThe Net'KerTSncts "wanted to be i in a position to repulse any syn chronizing stab by Germany at Dutch resources in fhe Atlantic. | Singapore, Feb. 11. ? British authorities ignored a Japanese de mand for unconditional surrend er tonight as Singapore's troops reeled back on this city under a hurricane of fire by Japanese tanks, bombers, fighters and bayonet-wielding infantrymen. A Japanese plane dropped the surrender note at 7:30 a. m., ad dressed to the British command er. Thus far it has not been an swered and bitter hand-to-hand fighting by the out-numbered British Imperials continues on the western approaches to Singapore1 City. Tonight's communique said: "The enemy drive from thej west has been directed on Singa pore City and has been pressed with vigor during the night. "In addition; there has been some infiltration today. "The enemy's advance has been assisted by tanks and con siderable bomber and fighter sup port, and oji r troops covering the1 west sector have been forced back further. , "This morning a Japanese note was dropped by air and address ed to the high commander (which) asked for t<he . uncondi tional surrender of the entire urtw la am. ? r -H "No reply has been made to this note. "In the western and northwes tern sector bitter fighting con tinues. In the east o( the Island enemy activity has been slight." Moscow, Feb. 11. ? Russian ski troops, gliding nine miles behind the German lines under cover of a swirling snowstorm, have cap tured Makalchl, 25 miles north of Bryansk, and thus hurdled an other barrier in the pincers drive on Smolensk, the Red army re ported tonight. A strategic communications center in the network between Bryansk and Vyazma. Maklachi is near Zhisdra and about 140 miles southeast of Smolensk. The Soviet push up through that sector ap peared to be synchronized with the drive on Smolensk from the north where a salient already has reached the Vellkle Luki region and Is being expanded southward. The white-clad ski legions, at home on the deep sAow which im mobilized German mechanized equipment, were said to be oper ating over a wide area, with a particular proficiency at stealing through weak points on the Ger man lines. Rangoon, Burma, Feb. 11. ? Strong Japanese forces have cross ed the Salween river above mar taban after apparently seizing that stfategic city protecting the approaches to Rangoon, the Brit ish high command acknowledged tonight. The Japanese also were at tempting to cross farther up stream at the east bank city of Paan, and a communique said that "the situation, although critical, is believed to be in hand, with our positions still Intact." Still farther north near the juncture of the Thalland-Burma Indo-Chlnese frontiers, the com munique said that Chinese troops going into action for the first time Repulsed another invasion thrust. Thirty casualties were in flictedand some ammunition ab andoned by the invaders, identi fied as Thallanders, at that point, it was said. Lifting the curtain on the Mar taban conflict at the mouth of the jungle-fringed Salween, the British said heavy casualties were Inflicted on the Japanese in the hills east and west of the city, "but Martaban Itself now is be lieved to be In enemy hands." DEBNAM GETS 2 TO 5 YEARS IN STATE'S PRISON FOR MANSLAUGHTER ?J. M. Dickerson Tenders Plea of Assault With Deadly Weapon and Gets Three Years Probation; Court Ended Thursday Evening fWu'H" i*y ">??'" EV|?"friin i Superior Court for criminal eases came to. an abrupt end late Thursday evening following the trial of J. M. Dickerson, whose attorneys tendered a plea of as sault with deadly weapon and it was accepted. But for this, with the large number of witnesses and speeches, the case would have consumed t-he balance of the week. Following the submission and the plea Judge Carr senten ced Dickerson to 12 months on the roads, but suspended same upon his paying costs of )35 and he was placed under parole for three years. Lorenza Debnam, who had been convicted of manslaughter, was given a sentence of 2 to 5 years in the State Prison. His attor neys gave notice of Appeal.
