Berlin Admits Loss
Of 100000 Troops
On Eastern Front
Privute Estimates Soid
To Be More Than Twice
Thot Number, However

By the Associated Press.
BERN, March 9.-Oficial Berlin
circles acknowledged total losses of
500 900 German soldiers in the
Russian campaign, but described
these losses as absolutely bearable, /"
a Berlin dispatch to the Bern news
paper Der Bund said yesterday.
The figure Of 1,500,000 soldiers,
killed, wounded or counted missing
since last June %. was credited to
German military circles. 1t was the
first time the Germans had given
any hint as to their losses on the
eastern front.
Underscoring the bitterness of the
Russian offensive against the Ger
mans, now at the end of it's third
month, these figures indicated that
German losses during these three
months were about the same as those
for the entire flve-month period of
the German drive from June %
through November.
The Bund dispatch said these
official German figures were far
behind private estimates of German
losses, some Of which placed daily
casualties as high as 10,0o0-more
than double the official figures.
The military circles quoted by Der
Bund placed the average daily Ger
man losses between June % and
November 80, 1941. at 1000 dead,
200 missing and $500 wounded. For
the 1852 days of the war up to Novem-
ber 80. 194l, covered in this estimate,
German losses thus would have been
162. 900 dead, 32,400 missing and
583 200 wounded.
OF the wounded, it was said, AS
per cent are considered to have
recuperated and made ready for
service.
During the last few weeks, the
dispatch said. numerous classes have
been called to service because the
high command mot only wants to
fill gaps. but to attain superiority in
numbers for the spring offensive"
This offensive, it was said, could
be the determining factor in a VIC

annex Korea. Having completed
both of these, the third step is to
be taken and that is the conquest
of Manchuria, Mongolia and China
When this is done, the rest of Asia,
including the South Sea islands,
will be at our feet"
OF specific purpose to include the
United States in this grand plan of
conquest there is plain evidence in
subsequent passage. Baron Tanaka
said:
For the sake of self preservation
and of giving warning to China and
the rest of the world, we must fight
America some time. The American
Asiatic squadron stationed in the
Philippines is but stones throw
from Tsushima and Senchima
(straits separating Japan from the
mainland. If they send submarines
to these quarters our supply of food
stuff and raw materials will be cut
off entirely
But if the Kirin- Hueining Rail-
way is completed we shall have a
large circuit through all Manchuria
and Korea. We shall have access in
all directions, gaining freedom for
the transportation of soldiers and
supplies alike. When our supplies
are transported through this line
to our ports at Tsuruga and Niigata,
enemy submarines will have no way
of getting into the japanese and
Korean straits. We are then en-
tirely free from interference
Such-and much more to the same
effect is the Tanaka Memorial The
objectives of japanese aggression
are clearly and fully set forth.
Korea and FormoSa had been taken
and South Manchuria had been en-
tered and virtually dominated when
the Carnegie Endowment newspaper
party visited the Far East at the
invitation of Japan in 1929. The
second world war was yet to be
fought. Pearl Harbor was yet to be
bombed and the Philippines at
tackled. The great plan of world
conquest was yet to be undertaken.
But Baron Tanaka's address to the
throne had been presented two years
before and without the least doubt
had been adopted as the fixed policy
of Japan, which nevertheless hailed
our Carnegie Endowment group as
evangels of peace.
Evening star., 1942-03-09

we shall seize the resources all over
the country. Having China's re-
sources at our disposal. we shall pro-
ceed to conquer India. the Archi-
pelgo, Asia Minor, Central Asia and
even Europe"
AS an example of the methods OF
Japanese inf1ltration in Manchuria
and Mongolia preparatory to the
actual seizure of those lands-and
elsewhere as events have indicated
the following quotation from the
Memorial may be cited:
The princes of Outer and Inner
Mongolia have all shown sincere
respect for us, especially after we
allured them with special benefits
and protection. Now there are l9
retired military officers in the house
of the Tushiyeh CMongolia). We
have already acquired monopoly
rights for the purchase of wool,
for real estate and for mines.
Hereafter we shall send secretly
more retired officers to live among
them. They should wear Chinese
clothes in order to escape the
attention of the Mukden govern
ment.
Foundation for 100 Years.
LAS to other principalities. we can
employ the same method as in
Tushiyeh. In order to carry
out this plan we should appropriate
100000 yen from the secret funds
of the army departments budget so
that 400 retired officers disguised
as teachers and Chinese citizens
may be sent into Inner and Outer
Mongolia to mix with the people, to
gain the confidence of the Mongo-
liam princes, to acquire from them
rights for pasturage and mining
and to lay the foundation for our
national interests for the next 100
years"
Advocating the construction of
additional railway lines, Baron
Tanaka engaged in the contem-
plation of definite advantages to be
gained toward the end of world
domination:
The moment the railways be-
tween Kirin and Huening and
between Changchun and Talai are
completed we shall become self
sufficient in foodstuffs and raw ma
terials. We shall have no worries
in the event of war with any
country.
When we are in control of this
great system of transportation we
need make no secret of our designs
on Manchuria and Mongolia. The
Yamato race is then embarked on
the journey of world conquest!
According to the last will of
Meiji, our first step was to conquer
Formosa and the second step to

Importance Of
 AIeutian Chain

Continued from last week.
 The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey is now engaged on photographic surveysgof the Aleutian Islands, but doeSnot ex- uect to complete them unti15 the latter part of 1946, until steps are taken to speed up the work. h connection with these surveys OUT newspapers reported that it was proposed to chart a trans Pacific route passing through the Aleutians and saving some 200 miles over the course now follow led south of those islands. Cues toned November, 1940) as to the correctness of this report, the Director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey says:
 "The Great Circle Track from the Pacific northwest to the Ori- ent extends, for all practical purposes, through Unimak Pass, thence north of the Aleutian shain toward the western ex- tremlty of the Aleutians. At the present time most vessels bound Dor the Orient pass to the south ward of the Aleutians, and there fore, in the winter time are com Pelled to buck westerly gales of greater intens ty than found hath of the Aleutians. The dis tance by this southern route is pnly a very little longer than the Great Circle Track north of the Alutians, but it is considered that on a westward sailing time Rin be saved by the route north Of the islands because of these
 pndominant westerly gales in He North Pacific.
Kodiak mirror., 1942-02-07

It will be noted that the Di- rector anticipates no ice on the winter run north of the Aleu- tians. Increased facilities, or pos sibly help from the Navy or the Coast Guard or both, would re- suit in the completion of the Aleutian survey long before 1946.
 Three HarbOrs
 Existing charts are good enough, however, to show that in the Aleutians there are three harbors Gin the case of Unalaska groups of harbors) each larger than any in our more southerly Pacific islands east of the Philip pines-the Unalaska group, the Bay of Waterfalls { Adak Island), and Kiska Harbor- besides sew eraI smaller harbors, one of which, Constantine (Amchita Island), is entitle to rank in size with Pago Pago. In the following paragraphs showing the capacity of mid Pacific harbors, the first three harbors are in the south
