The Commandos occupied the lower quarter of the city while the scow-landed tanks, held back momentarily by anti-tank barriers which they destroyed in no time, poured cannon fire into the German ranks. About 30 civilians were ve- ported to have been killed in the streets. French women and nurses took care of the wound- ed as the battle raged. 400 NAZIS DEAD The German Command, meanwhile, listed only 400 cas- ualties and asserted that the Allies lost 15 ships from shell- fire and bombing, saying that 19 .more ships were damaged. On the same grandiose scale, the Nazis declared that 112 Allied planes were destroyed as against only 35 German planes lost. Last night’s British report, although brief, estimated that 72 Nazi planes had been shot down. i The British admitted that Royal Airforce: had been lost in the fight today, but stated that 191 German planes had been destroyed or dam- aged. Z Meanwhile, the German gov- ernment-c ontrolled press splashed the front pages of government organs with stories of the fight, declaring that it was a “catastrophic defeat” and proof that the Allies could never gain a foothold on the channel for any length of time. No description as to how the smashing raid was taken by the German people could be sneaked past the bar- riers of Nazi censorship. RUSSIANS HEARTENED Dispatches from Moscow, at the same time, said that the Russians read accounts of the of the battle with quickening hopes for a second front in Western Europe. The Russian newspapers also declared that the “results of Churchill’s talks with Stalin were soon appar- ent.” A dispatch received last night said that the Allied forces had successfully withdrawn after the long onslaught, but no fig- ures on British casualties were announced other than' a pre- diction that losses on both sides were heavy.

Arriving here from Alaska, he told interviewers “there are three good harbors along the Aleutians, one at | Dutch Harbor, one at Kiska and | another, but of the three, Kiska is | by far the best in the Aleutians. | | ““There is no use kidding ourselves | but we must face the plain facts the Japs have the best in the Aleu- tians.” Asked if in his opinion the occu- pation of the Aleutian outposts is a real threat to the Pacific North- west, he declared “of course it is. Forget about bombers and remem- ber Aleutian weather controls flying but I think subs are the thlngs.; Subs based at Kiska can prey on North Pacific shipping: and their. base is 2,000 miles closer to Amer- jcan territory than ever before. The Glacier Priest said the Navy is doing a grand job in the Alaska | fight but he warned the war will be long and bitter, asserting that Am- ericans at home are not yet awake and added: “It is distressing to come to a land from where American men are fighting and dying to find business as usual, politics as usual and politicians worse than usual "Yes, it's worth fighting for" “Right-of-way is the strip of land of varying widths upon which the railroad and its facilities are built”—so says the definition. But it is much more than that. It is the guarantee of our government to a free people to travel when and where they please. It is the right of freedom of action, and freedom of speech, and all the other freedoms we take for granted, because we have never had them taken away. There is only one right-of-way for us today. It leads to peace and the protection of our freedom. Great sacri- fices lie ahead, but peace is worth fighting for. Let each and every one of us invest 10%, of his or her income in War Bonds, so the journey’s endgnay be reached. H.
