IN ONE WEEK
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 Un-
American combat casualties
since the beginning of the war
have reached 764.584, the army
and navy disclosed today.
Secretary of War Stimson
placed the army's losses at 676,
796 while the navy listed its to
tal as 87.788. This represented
an overall increase of 27,242
since last week's report.
Stimson said the army casual
ties represented a compilation of
individual names received in
Washington through January 28
and reflected battle develop
ments at the end of December
and the beginning of January.
The secretary said. 865.UU0
Germans have been taken pris
oner on the western front since
the invasion last June.
A breakdown on the army s
casualties and corresponding fig
ures for last week follows:
killed 130.266 and 121.676;
wounded 396.176 and 379,638;
missing 91.479 and 91.573; pris.
oners 58,878 and 57,533.
Stimson told a news confer
ence that 4522 of those killed
previously had been listed
missing but now have been de
clared dead. He also disclosed
that 191,439 of the wounded
have returned to duty.
Similar figures on the navy
breakdown: killed 33.192 and
32.889; wounded 40,248 and 39,
807: missing 9873 and 9750; pris
oners 4473 and 4476. A decrease
in the latter category reflects
transfers to other classifications.
