BY ROBERT DOWSON


LONDON, Aug. IA. UP)-The
9,400 ton cruiser Manchester, one
of Britain's newest, and the air
craft carrier Eagle have been sunk
in a blazing naval-air battle in the
central Mediterranean while es-
corting large convoy to beleag-
uered Malta, the admiralty announc'
ed today.
Branding German and italian
claims that upward of 80 British
WarshipS and merchant ships Wert
sunk in the three-day battle a.
exaggerated. the admiralty indicat'
| ed that the aerial phase OF the
struggle might still be underway.
AXIS SUBS SUNK
Against the loss of the cruiser
Manchester, which went down of
the African Tunisian coast, and the
old 22,600-ton carrier Eagle, the
admiralty said that at least two
Axis submarines were sunk ano
two torpedo hits were scored or
enemy cruisers.
In evidence of the big-scale ma
ture of the battle, said in Axis
accounts to have begun Tuesday
morning, the admiralty said tina,
force of Italo- German eight inch
and six inch gun cruisers steamed
up to fight, but were turned away
by British planes.
The Axis cruisers never came
within range Of the British ships
Despite the furious attack, the
Germans and Italians were unable
to prevent ships OF the convoy from
reaching Malta and delivering their
reinforcements and supplies, in
Guiding a number of fighter planes.
BATTLE FIERCEST
Although the loss of the Eagle
had been announced Wednesday,
it was evident that the battle-its
final tabulations still unavailable
was one of the most dramatic of
the war and one of the fierceSt
ever fought in the battle-scourged
inland sea. 4
There was no mention in the
British admiralty communique OF
German claims that the United
States aircraft carrier Wasp, a.
TOO tons, was hit by aerial bombs,
set ablaze, and sent fleeing toward
Malta while forming part Of the
Allied conveys, protection.
The cruiser Manchester, of the
class, was laid down in
1887. 1t was one of a class built
to compete with Japan's Mogami
class and the United States Brook
lyn type with their six inch guns.
WELL ARMED
The Manchester had a normal
complement of TOO officers and
men, carried II siX-inch guns,
eight four-inch antiaircraft guns,
four three Founders, a howitzer and
16 smaller guns as we'll as three
aircraft and a catapaulv.
The admiralty said that many
of the Manchester's survivors were
rescued and others are believed
to have reached the Tunisian
coast.
The carrier Eagle, originally laid
down in 1888 as a battleship for
Chile, was carrying above her nor
NAL complement OF TAB officers and
men and most OF them were saved,
it has been announced.
The Manchester was completed
only four years ago, and was sta
toned for a time in the East In
dies but later saw service in the
Red Sea and in the Arctic, sur
viving q number of bombing at
tacks.
On Nov. 81, 1910, it was in the
van of the attack on the Italian
fleet in the battle of Cape Sparti

AUCKLAND, N. :. Aug. l4-(UP)
"A weeks fierce fighting in the
Solomon islands has brought Amer
ican successes and the u. S. en-
tries are on the credit side of the
battle ledger, it was reported here
today.
"a dispatch from Sydney to the
London evening Star said that the
first stage of the Solomons battle
had ended in an American victoryD
Strict official secrecy continued to
obscure the details of the SolOmonS
fighting but it was known here that
the initial phases of the battle have
gone in favor of the Americans.
SUPPORT ARRIVES
CThe naval correspondent OF the
Yorkshire Post reported that, "ac-
cording to the latest intelligence"
supporting naval forces have ar
rived and joined in sea operations
in the Solomon area. american
troops, he reported, have driven back
the Japanese farther with the aid
of reinforcements newly landed and
air attacks on Guadalcanal island
are In progreSS)
1t is understood here that the
landing of the American ground
forces was carried out strictly ac-
cording to the advance blueprint of
the operation.
STRONG FOOTHOLDS
The U. S. marines obtained strong
footholds in the most strategic
points in the southern part of the
Archipelago. 1t was not doubted
here that the operation cost the
American force heavily in casual
ties. However, it was not believed
that losses were greater than had
been anticipated since the marines
not only went ashore but have been
able. to develop and hold their po-
sitions.
| According to reports here, land
| fighting of great intensity is con-
tinuing.
At sea, however, 1t was under

isolated engagements rather thar

GEN. MACARTHUR HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia, Aug. IA
CUP)-United States Marines have
captured KOkum, on Guadalcanal
Island, most valuable airdrome site
in the southern SolomOns, and the
japanese seaplane base off Tulagi,
it was believed today.
Confidence, restrained pending a
definite communique b. the Navy
department at Washington, rose
steadily in Australia that the Ma
rines now held firm and meant to
keep their hold in the islands.
This confidence was increased by
new fantastic Japanese claims re-
garding Allied naval losses. which
admittedly were expected to be
heavy, because it was believed the
Japanese were cushioning their
public opinion against news that
the Marines mad consolidated their
positions.
Reports to Gen. Douglas MacAr-
d thurs southwest Pacific hcadquar-
ters indicated that the Marines
were still driving inland in savage
hand TO hand fighting, on at least
three key islands and that they
might already hold two or more
useful atollS in the Tulagi- Florida
Guadalcanal area.
FLEET IN BATTLE
The United States and Allied
fleet and air forces continued
fighting fierce battle on the
eighth day of the Solomon Island,
offensive, the first big United
States offensive operation of the
Pacific war.
1t was indicated that the fleet
was driving off probably inferior
enemy surface units and lighting
back against ferocious enemy
aerial attack, with its hard-press-
ed naval planes.
United States south Pacific naval
headquarters reported that the first
casualties of the Solomon Island
battle had arrived at American
base and field hospitals somewhere
in the South Seas, to be attended
by medical units of Johns Hopkins,
Pennsylvania and Maryland Uni
versities, and that more were on
