win Rommel drove three columns
about ITO miles across the desert
from Libya to within 80 miles of
the main British base at Matruh
on the Mediterranean coast, where

Liberator bombers again joined
with the RAF in striking at the
enemy rear lines and main supply
bases of Tobruk and Benghazi, but
German planes also were reported
hammering the railroad east OF
Matruh in an effort to halt Allied

There was little doubt in Cairo

hitting with all of the strength
he could muster and as quickly as
possible in an effort to destroy the
British eighth army, which is re-
grouped in the Matruh area, and to
drive on toward Alexandria naval
base 160 miles away and to Suez.
Dispatches failed to indicate whe-
ther the British had been able to
form strong new lines or had res
cued sufficient equipment to stop
the enemy columns, but there was
no doubt that Rommel was moving
up big supply trains and that the
outlook was grave.

Jap Mystery Ships
Serve as Carriers
To Bolster Power
Disclosure of Addition
To Enemy Navy Shows
Strength Still Great

WASHINGTON, June 26.
(UP)-Existence of two Jap
anese mystery ships" which
probably have become full
fledged aircraft carriers, was
disclosed today.
The two 27,000-ton vessels, the
Kasiwara and the Izumo, have not
been reported sunk or damaged or
even present in any battle thus far
and therefore may be assumed to be
still a formidable part of Japan's
naval forces.
They are considered mystery ships
because, while announced for the
merchant trade, they never were
completed as passenger liners. Their
conversion if there ever actually
was any doubt as to what they
were to be used for, occurred while
they were still on the ways and
before they were launched.
The Kasiwara and the Izumo,
therefore, are as effective as any
ships designed, planned and COM

than the ordinary merchant ships
converted hastily to naval use. There
is nothing of patchwork or make
shift nature of their construction.
BIG VESSELS
The Kasiwara was built by the
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries COM
pany at Nakasaki and the Izumo at
the Kawasaki yards in Kobe. Both
were scheduled for commissioning
in the summer of 194l. Each has a
speed upwards OF "a knots, is 720
feet long, 88 feet wide, 46 feet
deep and is powered by turbines of

plane capacity of about SIS planes.
The carriers Shokaku and Ryaka-
ku, of about $4,000 tons and 10000
tons respectfully, were sunk in the
Coral sea while the Akagi, the Kaga
and two other Japanese carriers
were sunk at Midway. The Akagi
and the Kaga were of $4,000 tons
each. The other carriers were not

Seeley soldier, was sentenced to San

passing a fictitious check.
At the time he was sentenced, his
officers at the camp declared that
he had been in difficulties since he
became affiliated with his company.
Records showed that Derichsweiler
had a habit of passing several bad
checks at time and using the mon
ey gained from persons who did not
sue him to pay off those who did,
usually coming out of the transac-
ton with a surplus.
