Hongkong, Oct. 4.
Following the arrival in the Philippine Islands last week of 15 United States heavy bombers, it is learned in Hongkong that the United States Asiatic Fleet will shortly be reinforced by at least six submarines and one supply-ship.
Some circles here, however, state that these submarines are only replacements.
Three of the submarines are expected to arrive in the Philippines from on October and the remainder from the West Coast of America on November 15.—Reuter.
