The .enemy evacuation repre
sented the first time officially
reported in the war that the
Japanece'have given up a major
base without' a fight.' Previous
ly on Attu they had fought al
most to the last man, and in the
final organized resistance on.
Attu some enemy soldiers had
battled ; with bayonet- tied to
locks. . .
The last, resistance reported
on Kiska was on, August 13
when light anti-aircraft fire was
encountered by .bombers and
fighters which that afternoon
carried 'but nine bombing and
strafing attacks on the island,
destroying buildings at . Ger
trude cove and North Head by
direct hits and. setting others
fir., . ,.

' That bombing assault was
light, however, compared with
other attacks during the August
1-14 period. On August 10. the
bombings reached a peak , with
24 separate assaults on the ene
my's installations. The bombers
carrying out those missions en
countered light anti-aircraft fire
and started many' fires.'
The chronology of the aerial
blitz also showed 18 assaults
during 42 hours August 4,
starting many, fires and causing
numerous explosions. On Au
gust 11, bombers 21 times
roared over Kiska and the navy
reported "fires were started in
all areas and considerable deb
ris was observed in enemy em
placements on Little Kiska."
The following day, heavy,
medium and dive bombers ac
companied by . fighting planes
went back 20 more times start
ing many additional fires. Scat

period were other smaller as
saults of from one to four raids

War Conference

and prime minister last night
4. Allied chiefs of staff, who
maintain close contact even
when war councils are not in
progress, met for days before
Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill
joined forces here to finish
charting the next assaults on
the axis. The two principals,
moreover, held their prelimin
ary discussions at Hyde Park,
N. Y., in advance of their Que
bec talks.
Work Continues
The military work of the Que
bec conference was not entirely
completed. Chiefs of staff and
their key advisors were to con
tinue consultations during the
weekend. But their principal
job at this stage of the war par
ley appeared to be that of pick
ing up a few loose ends remain
ing after all the more momen
tous issues on the military
agenda were out of the way.
The question of obtaining bet
ter teamwork with Russia, some
observers here believed, is up
permost among the political
considerations confronting the
allied leaders here.

place in the first division of the

he said, "but the Japs are pretty

Material Found
He said the troops which oc
cupied Kiska found much ma
teriel, including a lot of ammu
nition, but he did ' not know
whether they - found Japanese
heavy guns. -
He said none of the men who
took part in the Kiska landings
had yet been returned here, and
many men who had been due for
leave for weeks had been de
tained in Alaska to prevent any
word of the intended Kiska as
sault last Sunday leaking out.

Storm Lebedin '
They stormed into Lebedin,
100 miles northwest of Kharkov
and midway between captured
Akhtyrka and Sumy, in a scries
of smashing tank and infantry
attacks, Moscow announced in a
special communique. Knotop
lies 70 miles to the northwest of
Lebedin and its capture would
menace the whole naii supply
setup in the Ukrainian theater.
London reports, meanwhile,
indicated that soviet troops had
encircled all but 13 miles of
Kharkov itself.
Bryansk Front
. On the Bryansk front, the
Germans were throwing strong
forces against the steadily ad
vancing soviet columns, but the
Russian's war bulletin said they
were forced to fall back to "well
prepared" positions after aban
doning valuable war dumps. In
the Spas Demensk offensive the
Russians were striking out for
Smolensk, another vital nazi an
chor, 75 miles to the northwest.
Here, again, the Russians would
not be denied, and pressed on de
spite fierce counter-attacks by
fresh German reserves, Moscow
said. This advance threatened a
whole segment of German de
fenses between Bryansk and
Smolensk.

The British lost 220,000 in
the theatre from the beginning
of the action through the Sicil
ian campaign, including the 35,-
000 lost by the British first and
eighth armies in Tunisia. Unit
ed States forces lost 18,558 in

These figures Included Britj

Lewis disappeared Tuesday.
Mrs. Gillen's body was discov

Our warships and planes are

Italians expect us to Invade their

German nervousness in
western Europe.
The nazis have set Tuesday as
the deadline for French patriots
to SURRENDER THEIR ARMS
or face the death penalty. That
indicates fear of the French.
In Denmark, King Christian

peal jointly to their people to
cease sabotaging German pro

of sabotage - are said to have
been sweeping the country.)
Permitting the Danish govern

squads to handle it themselves,
is a rather clear admission of
Germans' nervousness in Den
