sister, Miss Margaret P. Losey, Of
Brooklyn, NY.
The only American casualties so
far in the European war before
Capt. Losey's death occurred when
the British liner Athena was tor
pedoed and sunk soon after the
conflict began last September.
Twenty EIGHT Americans were lost
in that disaster.
Last September 3 Anthony j.
Drexel Biddle. jr, American Am
bassador to Poland, reported to the
department that a power-diving
German bombing. plane dropped six
bombs near his villa outside War
saw, damaging the building. The
Ambassador and his family were in
the villa at the time, but escaped
injury.
A Russian incendiary bomb
dropped through the roof Of villa
in Finland that had been occupied
by American diplomatic officers a
week before, Minister H. F. Arthur
Schoenfeld reported on January IS.
He earlier had watched Russian
bombs fall near the Legation in
Helsinki.
President Roosevelt, in a message
appealing at the outbreak of war for
belligerents to refrain from bomb
ing civilian centers, said that "if
resort is had to this form of inhu-
man barbarism hundreds of
thousands of innocent human beings
who have no responsibility for, and
who are not even remotely partici-
pating in, the hostilities which have
now broken out, will lose their lives"
The wives and children of foreign
service officers have been ordered
evacuated from danger spots, but
in most cases the foreign service
officers and military and naval at
taches remain on duty even in the
face of bombing danger in order to
look out for American interests.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The Chicago
Cubs having evened the city series
at one game apiece on the strength
of southpaw pitching, were ready to
come back with another left-hander
tonight as the battle scene shifted
to Comiskey Park, home of the
White Sox.
Manager Gabby Hartnett named
Larry French to carry on from where
young Vern Olsen left of yesterday.
Olsen limited the Sox to seven hits
and won, 8 to 2.
Jimmy Dykes, Sox manager, also
selected another lefty. Edgar Smith,
despite the fact it was Southpaw
Thornton Lee who was charged with
Yesterdays setback. However, all
the blame couldn't be charged to
Lee. The Sox committed five errors
behind him, three by Third baseman
Bob Kennedy. one by Luke Appling,
while Lee bobbled one hlmSeu. Pete
Appleton came to Lees relief in the
sixth.
The Sox got their only runs of
Olsen in the sixth on Joe Kuhel's
single, Julius Solters triple and an
infield out.
There was a question whether Bill
Herman, Cub second baseman, would
be in the lineup tonight. He pulled
a leg muscle in the fifth inning yes

Cincinnati is that Whitley Moore

there because the ball game was
gone, Clipped Hank Greenberg and
Rudy York down to size almost as
if somebody had given the specifl-
cations. Rudy's triple and Bruce
CampbeIs homer were the only
really solid hits of Moore and
Rudy's blow was on an inside pitch
that any other player in the two
loops would have let go for ball.
But, as McKechnie said, today S

Cincy Downcast

N. l. Champions Poor

BY JOHN FRYE,
A associated Press Sports Writer

CINCINNATI, Oct. 3.-The funny
thing about it is that the Cincinnati
Reds, in their worst dumps of the
past season, never played a ball
game quite so far OF the form.
Joe Cincinnati. who has been
educated. and with considerable rea-
son, to believe that his Reds are the
best in the world, is holding his head
trying to understand what hap
pened.
His favorite ball club didn't fall
to pieces; it didn't come apart at
the seams; it didn't blow up. 1t
just didn't play the kind of ball that
Joe Cincinnati grew accustomed to
seeing in the 76 games at home.
Joe knows, and he said so on a
hundred street corners last night,
that the Reds are a better team
than the one that lost yesterday s
game to the Tigers.
Can't Understand Errors.
He said so quietly and with deep
conviction. He was counting on a
big celebration and all the celebrat-
ing was done in Detroit so all Joe
had left was his convictions.
But all season Bill Werber never
threw a ball like the one that pulled
Eddie Joost of first base. 1t wasn't
a wild throw and Bill hadn't muffed
the ball, but his pitch was just one
of those things that doesn't come
from a man like Werber. He's bet
ter than that.
Likewise Billy Myers muff of
Whitley Moore's toss to catch a man
of second. Billy has made his er-
rors, all right, but being there with
a glue lined glove when the runner
gets adventurous is elemental and
Billy has done it successfully dozen
times
Of what happened to Paul Der
ringer, Joe has the word of Manager
Bill McKechnie and Catcher Jimmy
Wilson that Paul was throwing his
Sunday pitches. He will take that
assurance, yet wonder why the Tiger
sluggers had more luck than the
New York Yankees last year against
exactly the same assortment OF
Sunday pitches.

Establishment of special insti-
tute in the United States Public
Health Service for research in the
field of mental and nervous diseases
has been recommended by an ad-
visory council to Surg. Gen. Thomas
Parran OF the Public Health Service,
it was announced last right. The
proposal was an outgrowth of an
all-day meeting Monday of the ad-
visory council.
The council proposed that the in
Stitute be organized as a separate
division of the Public Health Serv-
ice in or near the District, and that
it work in close cooperation with
st. Elizabeth's Hospital and the Ma
tional Institute of Health.
1t was proposed also that the in
stitute conduct clinical and labora-
tory research on mental and nervous
| diseases and support research in
other responsible institutions
throughout the country by grants
in-ald made with the approval of
National Advisory Council on
Mental and Nervous Diseases.
The council said the proposed in
stitute would be an important
agency in the defense program by
devising techniques for the detection
of incipient mental and nervous dis
ease among possible recruits into
military service or into defense in
duStrieS.
The dental and nervous disease
problem, it was said, is one of the
largest public health problems now
facing the medical profession and
the Nation, and the amount of re-
search now being done in this coun-
try Is inadequate in relation to the
magnitude and economic Importance

1T Is common knowledge that

been a more opportune moment
