The Tribune summarizes Richard H. Little reports from Manila dated Sept 14 detailing wartime gains in Luzon. It claims control of a 23 mile arc around Manila, rail lines up to Angeles, and land along roads to San Fernando Bacolor Santa Rita and Imus, with 117 square miles held total. Insurgents hold Mindanao ports and resist with trench fighting and nightly raids.
