June 21 (U.R) One thousand Bolivians wert killed last night in a desperate bat tle which may prove the decisive ' point ofthe war. The battle raged along a 75-mile front in the Gran Chnco, an official communiqu said today. ; The announcement said the Para guayans evacuated their trenches as a, subterfuge nnd the Bolivians fell in to the trap, advancing into the trenches where they were caught un der a deadly triangular fire of light nrtlllery and mnchtns guns. It wns estimated HO.OOO Bolivian! and 40.000 Paraguayans were bat tling on the Bolivinn front along the Pilcomnyo river. The fighting has centered around Fort Bollivian for nearly two mon ths. Desultory at times, it broke out in the last sir days with a de termined Paraguayan drive to force Bolivian evacuation of Fort Bnlli vinn, key to the rich Chaco oil fields.

An effort will be made to lower the 47-hour record for transit set on the Atlantic passage this spring. The navy had speculated on the poaaiUllty of moving the entire ar mads through the locks In 24 hours but later said It was well satisfied with the 47-hour passage. On the bnsls ot that experience, the navy plans always to send all the ships through together, tt was pointed out that If the fleet was divided, ac cidental damage or sabotage might close the locks. A long deloy in rounding lip the units would be bound to result. The navy has not yet forgotten the ex-' perlence ot the Oregon at the time of the Spanish-American war and Its lengthy trip around the horn to join the main fleet.
