battles of all time in the sea OF

A struggle by American, Dutch
and British sailors against "impos-

al Sir William James in speech
in England Saturday shortly after
dispatches released by the Ameri-

The story now being revealed OF
the battle for Java indicated that
huge casualties had been inflicteT
on the enemy despite the inabilit?
of out-numbered United Nations
forces to break the japanese offen5-
i've in the southwestern Pacific.
The Dutch already had acknowl-
edged loss of virtually all of their
best warships and James, in a
speech at Alton, said that Dutch,
British and American sailors fought
to the last gun against impossible
odds"

The battles were "the most tre-
