The swift drive firmly established estab-lished a bridgehead three 'miles long and nearly two miles wide along Basilan Strait, and brought the fall of Zamboanga city, four villages and two valuable airdromes. air-dromes. The effect of the initial surprise of the invasion, now in its fourth day, continued. Gen. Douglas MacArthur emphasized in. his communique that th eJapanese had not yet been able to effectively effec-tively organize their forces. In the first 30 hours after the landing, seasoned jungle fighters of Maj. Gen. Jens A. Doe's 41st division barreled through three : miles of elaborate steel and concrete con-crete pillboxes to reach Zamboanga. Zamboan-ga. Japanese forces, which fled to the surrounding hills, peppered the advancing troops with machine ma-chine gun and mortar fire, but the communique said the enemy inflicted in-flicted "only minor loss to our troops." While one column of Doe's forces tumbled Zamboanga with its administration building, another an-other unit drove inland and seized San Rogue airdrome, one and a half miles northwest of the city. San Robue airfield was the second sec-ond major airdrome taken on Mindanao and provided the Americans with a number of airstrips. air-strips. Reconnaissance planes already al-ready were operating from Wolfe airfield, three-quarters of a mile inlarid from the initial landing ; spot at San Mateo. P-T boats maintained a steady patrol of Basilian Strait, supporting support-ing the ground troops ashore with automatic fire. They also teamed up with 13th air force Mitchell medium bombers to rake enemy installations at Basilan island, across the narrow strait from Mindanao. A number of small Japanese craft were sunk off the southern end of Basilan. Fighters and bombers also supported sup-ported MacArthur's troops steadily stead-ily compressing the Japanese pockets of Luzon. East of Manila, the First cavalry caval-ry division continued the envelopment envel-opment of Antipolo and seized high ground east of the southern anchor of the Japanese line. The advance around Antipolo brought the Americans to points from which they could shell Japanese positions in the city. Ten miles to the north, troops of the Sixth infantry division turned back several Japanese counter-attacks in the Wawey area and resumed their drive through the strongly defended enemy cave network dug deeply in the mountain moun-tain sides.

(The case of the Jailor continued) (First read yesterday's article to get the connection). Now the jailor has heard the evidence and believes, but is he saved at this point? Who will say that the man repented before he believed? If he was saved the moment he believed, and if he believed before he repented, it would follow that he was saved before he repented. re-pented. Of course that is as impossible as it is unscriptural. If the man repented at all. he certainly repented after he believed be-lieved in Jesus. That he repented re-pented is not mentioned in so many words, but it is implied in the fact that he washed the stripes of Paul and Silas, trying try-ing to right his wrongs, his injustice. in-justice. So the man believed and then repented. The record tells us he was baptized the same hour of the night. Why? Jesus said, "He that- bclieveth and is baptized shall be saved." (Mark 16:16). Paul teaches that we are baptized bap-tized into Christ (Rom. 6-3; Gal. 3:27; that salvation is in Christ (2 Tim. 2:10); and that redemption, even the forgiveness forgive-ness of sins is in Christ. (Eph. 1:7). , So the man was baptized bap-tized to get into Christ where he might enjoy the forgiveness of sins, the salvation Jesus promised to those who believe and arc baptized. So the man believed, repented and was baptized. (Continued) CHURCH OF CHRIST 867 Kaxt Center. Prove New Invasion?

At least 23 towns and villages already had been captured. Re inforcements of men, armor, and supp?les poured across the captured cap-tured Ludendorf bridge in an unending un-ending stream despite enemy fire that already has damaged the span.
