ADMIRAL KING'S PROMISE
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) Re& 11 a.m. NEW YORK, Sept. 23.
The recent attacks against the Marcus and Gilbert Islands are only the shape of things to come, said Admiral E. J. King, Commander of United States Combined Fleets, when addressing the American Legion Convention. He added that the navy's aim was to deal shattering blows to the enemy with all the weapons that could be brought to bear, synchronised with an overwhelming assault. He emphasised the importance of the nayy's swiftly-growing air arm, now striking hard against enemy bases, particularly in the Pacific.
