July 10, 1940 T NATIONS CLAIM OTHER PUT TO ROUT (Continued from Page One) pictured one British navml force In the role of attacker, supposedly Intent upon raiding the central Mediterranean and attacking by lea and air "some important coast position of oura." (The British acknowledged no losses). The Italian score sheet, (note worthy In that it acknowledged greater Italian losses than claimed by the British) follows: Scored against the British: H1U which are 'believed" to have aunk a warship "prob ably a battleship"; torpedoing and sinking of a destroyer; bombing which left "some' vessel! "seriously damaged, With fires visible aboard." Scored against the Italians: Sinking of the destroyer Zef firo. 1073 tons; a hit on an un identified warship in an en gagement which killed 29 of the crew and Injured 68; loss of a submarine and four Italian planes, one of which was forced down on Greek territory and three which failed to return to their base. The theatre of battle was the length of the Mediterranean which Italiana like to call "Mare Nostrum" "Our Sea, There were three general zones of the fighting which ranged in the air, undersea and on the surface. Engagements centered In the eastern Mediterranean, near the Greek island of Crete; in the central Mediterranean or Ionian sea off the Instep of the Italian boot, and in the western Med iterranean south of the Balearic islands and east of Gibraltar. The last seems to have been purely a test of British sea power versus Italian air power. Three Italian planes failed to return from this clash, but yes terday's day-long bombing of the British naval formation which had left Gibraltar gave "evidence of effective results, as the Italian high command ex pressed it. Tfle eastern and central en gagements tested both the naval and aerial strength of the two belligerents. (Continued from rage One) marines committed such acts fully knowing the Japanese were gendarmes is a deliberate and grave insult to Japanese sol diers," Admiral Takeda said. "I am greatly offended as a soldier and as a Japanese sub ject by such an insult to the honor of Japanese forces. I am paying attention to develop ments of the case with the great est concern.' Violence Claimed A Japanese army spokesman aid Colonel Peck had not yet replied to Major General Miura's demand for an apology. He said the statement made yesterday by the marine commander (ex plaining that the Japanese were arrested after they had been pointed out as possible terrorists) was not considered an answer. The point of Miura's protest, he explained, was not the arrest itself, but violence against the gendarmes "and unfriendly treatment to which they were subjected like criminals sen tenced to death." Asked whether any measures had been taken against anti- American agitation in Hongkew, Japanese-occupied section of the International Settlement, the spokesman replied, "it is a mat ter of course to suppress un reasonable, illegal or Improper acuon, out we are not in a posi Don to suppress a spontaneous expression of national feeling.' The campaign, he added would be stopped if It reached such proportions that it would be likely to impair Japanese- united states relations or dis turb the peace.

E ON DISPUTE Officials of the Lamm Lum ber company and the negotiat ing committee of the strike bound logging camp at Yamsey will moot for discussion of the labor dispute Friday night. Arrangements for the meet ing were made Tuesday during a visit of V. E. Lamm, com pany president, to the logging camp at Yamsey. The meeting will be held at 7 o'clock at the office of John Kbinger, Lamm Lumber company attorney. Although several earlier meetings between officials of the lumber company and the negotiating committee have been held, it was considered possible bargaining on the 10 points of the dispute may be opened Friday night for the first time. L. H. Fcnton, International representative of the IWA, said that woods employes of the Walker-Hovey Lumber com pany, meeting at their camp at Hildebrand Tuesday night, vot ed to draw up a letter to be sent to Walker-Hovey officials asking that lumber concern to "use its influence" in bringing a settlement of the Lamm dis pute. The letter, mailed Wed nesday, was similar to the com munication addressed earlier this week by woods employes of Kesterson Lumber corpora tion to their employers. It asked Walker-Hovey officials to Tvetgh carefully any request mat might be received to sell logs to the Lamm mill. Charles G. Hovey, Walker Hovey manager, said at noon Wednesday that he had not yet received the letter and that he had no comment to make on the situation.

One man was killed and many houses were damaged when Ger man planes dropped five bombs on a town in southwest England after daylight this morning. A German Dornier 17 bomber was shot down by British fight er planes off the cast coast of England early this morning, the air ministry announced. A total of nine German planes were shot down yesterday, the air ministry said, adding one to its previous total.
