yet several times in her life she had

She stepped around the Mayor
and she took his hand and pulled
his finger out of his outraged ear
and pushed his hand to his side,

thumb away from his mouth.

The sergeant, who had been turn

pockets.
Capt. Bentick said, Excuse him,

Japanese Death Toll
In Midway Battle
Placed al 1900
U. S. Navy Now Declares
Four Enemy Carriers
Were Destroyed
BY the Associated Press.

PEARL HARBOR. T. H., June
29.-Eighteen thousand or more
japanese were killed In the defeat OF
the Nipponese invasion feet of
Midway. it was unoff1cially estimated
today, on the heels of official reve-
lations that the enemy's disaster
was even worse than first reported.
According to this computation
japanese deaths in the engagement
were divided up as follows:
Carriers. 5000 lives; battleships
2,000 heavy cruisers, 1000; light
cruiser, 500 destroyers, 1900;
transports, 1000 or more.
The Navy, waiting until it had
rounded up all the reports ano
checked them, fatty wrote of as
Japanese losses: The aircraft car
riers Akagi, 26,9OO tons: Kaga, 26.9OC
tons: Soryu, l0,050 tons, and Kiryu
l0050 tons: two heavy cruisers
probably the 8,500-ton Mogami anc
the 8500-ton Mikuma; three de.
stIoyers and a cargo or transport
vessel
Japs Admit One Lost.
That added up to at least 10 ships
sent to the bottom in the big sea
air battle earlier this month of
Midway. The definite report OF four
carrier sunk contrasted with tenta
tive reports on June 10 Of two and
possibly three" The same reports
listed only one other Jap ship as
definitely sunk, a destroyer.
The loss of 10 likewise was in
sharp contrast with Japanese ad-
missions that only one ship, a car
rier, went down. Unofficial Jap
statements have implied the loss OF
more, however.
The Navy, summarizing the losses
in a communique yesterday said a
fourth destroyer very probably was
sunk and that considerable damage
was wrought on two or three bat
tleships. three or four other heavy
| cruisers, light cruiser and four
transport or cargo vessels. Another
as probably sunk.
The carrier losses included the
destruction of 275 japanese planes
and their crews.
One Carrier Escaped.
An Associated Press staffman who
witnessed some of the Midway battle
from cruiser reported later that
the Japanese fleet included five car
riers. Thus only one of them 60,
/ away.
The staggering totals add up tc
a terrific cost paid by the japanese
for their self-styled diversion" tc
permit the landing of troops in the
Aleutians. Actually the crushing
defeat administered by Army, Navy
and Marine flyers and by subma
rines frustrated an invasion of the
Hawaiian Islands with Midway as
the stepping stone.
The personnel losses on the ships
sunk" the Navy's statement added
are known to have been extremely
heavy and ships receiving bomb hits
probably suffered heavy losses ir
this respect"
On the other side of the ledger
the United States has admitted the
loss of one destroyer and damage
to an aircraft carrier.

reaching New Orleans after his ship
was sunk that all ship captains were
marked men as during the last war
when he said capture and impriSon-
ment of veteran masters was a reg
ular practice of U-boats operating
in the Atlantic.

around the scene for several hours

Russians Charge Nazis Use
Poison Gas on Peasants

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. June 29.-The Russian
news agency, TaSs, in a dispatch
from the Kalinin front, said yester-
day there was evidence that Ger
man punitive detachments had used
poison gas against "recalcitrant"
peasants, accused of helping guer-
rillas.
A guerrilla leader reported that
on June he found 10 bodies in a
cellar in the village of Ustya. One
was a woman with a child in her
arms. They had no wounds and
examination led to the conclusion
that all were poisoned with gas,
Tass said.
| Closest Inquiry Necessary.
LONDON, June % (P).-Well-
posted British informants, COM
menting on reports in Moscow that
the Germans used poison gas against
civilians on the Kalinin front, said
last night Prime Minister Church
ills promise to retaliate in kind
against the Nazis holds good pro-
vided the reports should be properly
substantiated.
The serious nature of the unofficial
report made the closest scrutiny
necessary. These sources cited pre-
vious reports of the same nature
which apparently never were sub
stantiated.
It was felt here that Britain likely
would make a careful and we'll
considered announcement to the
world If she found it necessary to
implement Mr.. Churchill's warning
to the Germans that If they used
poison gas against the Russians the
British would retaliate lust as If 1t
had been used against U.s."
