 Highest credit was given by every one to the firemen, civilians and naval and military personnel who heroically fought the flames and great sympathy felt for the indi- viduals whose lost their personal belongings as well as the merchants whose business places were burned.

Botuon Worst
Single u. S. Blow
In Foreiqn War

The battle of Bataan appears to
be the heaviest reversal suffered by
any American force in q single en-.
gagement with q foreign foe.
Military historians said no Ameri-
can force as large as the 36,853 ef.
fectives last reported to be still
fighting the Japanese had been
destroyed in a single battle Of any
of the Nations foreign wars be-
ginning with the American Revolu-
ton.
Losses Of Gen. John j. Pershing's
victorious American Expeditionary
Force were heavier In killed and
wounded in the final 1918 Meuse-
Argonne offensive, but this was q
campaign extended over some four
months. Heavier losses also were
suffered in the Civil War, but not
against a foreign foe.
The Philippine area overrun by
the Japanese also represents virtu-
ally the only major territory wrested
from the United States in war.
Military historians noted that
American land forces sustained nu-
merous defeats in the Revolution
at Long Island, Brandywine and
elsewhere-but the number Of troops
involved was relatively small.
The same was true for the War
Of 1872, which was largely a series
of disasters for ill-trained and ILL.,
equipped American soldiers. The
wars with Mexico and Spain were
won without serious American re-
verses.

British Subs Sink
4 More Axis Ships
In Mediterranean
Two Schooners and Two
Supply Vessels Listed
By London Admiralty

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 10. - British
submarines, in one case defying
a conveys destroyer escort, have
sunk four more Axis ships--two
schooners and two supply vessels
in the Mediterranean, the Ad-
rniralty announced today.
One Of the schooners, a COM
munique said, was laden with sugar
and other stores bound for Trip
oil, the Axis chief supply port in
Libya.
Both supply ships were reported
sent down by a submarine COM
manded by 1t. Comdr. P. S. Fran
els, which slipped up on a convoy
despite its warship protection, ram
ming home two torpedoes on one
large supply ship and also sinking
another of medium size in the same
attack.
These thrusts, which followed
closely on the sinking of an Italian
heavy cruiser in the Mediterranean,
may force Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel to move faster than ex-
pected against British positions in
Eastern Libya, usually well-in-
formed London source said.
He expressed belief the German
leader would strike now with ar
mored and infantry forces avail
able-estimated as high as 125 1000
men-rather than wait for REIN
forcements which might become the
prey Of British submarines.
Imminent Axis offensive action
was said to be indicated by three
developments:
/. Strengthening of Axis bomber
forces in preference to fighters.
2. Establishment of fuel and am
munition dumps in advanced posi-
tons.
8. Placing of italian units in for
ward areas while new additions to
the Afrika Korps are schooled in
