Ladies and gentlemen, a special announcement. The entire regular personnel of the sheriff and police office has been placed on a two-platoon basis with twelve-hour shifts. All auxiliary personnel have been directed to stand by for emergency service instructions. The regular county defense program is functioning in an orderly manner, and citizens are urged to remain calm and avoid all unnecessary confusion because of hysteria. Citizen volunteers are asked to go quietly to their nearest police or fire stations and offer their services if they wish to help. There is no immediate cause for alarm, and coolness will accomplish more than anything else.

Another war bulletin. Shanghai: The Japanese took over the American Shanghai Power and Light Company this morning.

A bulletin from New York: The Japanese news agency broadcast tonight the Japanese Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo summoned U.S. Ambassador Joseph C. Grew and handed to him Japan’s reply to Secretary of State Cordell Hull’s terms for peace in the Pacific. This news came hours after the bombing of Honolulu.
