SCENE OF BATTLE
MOVING EASTWARDS?
JAP SHIPS ATTACKED NORTH OF FIJI
(By Telegraph—-Press Association—Copyright.) (Special Australian Correspondent.) SYDNEY, October 29. The latest reports from the Solo* mon Islands theatre suggest that the sea and air battle is moving eastwards towards the New Hebrides and Fiji groups. This view is strengthened by a statement from Washington that Japanese naval vessels have been attacked by Allied planes "north of the Fijis."
The Australian Broadcasting Commission quotes its Washington correspondent as saying that the Solomons battle stretches over, hundreds of miles to the east and that United States aircraft are in action 400 miles nox'theast of Guadalcanal and north of the New Hebrides and Fiji. Strong Japanese forces have been attacked.
According to American sources, Japan has now had one-fourth of her warships sunk or damaged since Pearl Harbour.
