Army and Marine troops, killing seven enemy soldit-rs fo
every one they lost, pushed tirelessly forward against rid
resistance. But the end of the enemy seemed as sure as o
conquered Tinian, where all but a handful of Japanese, hit
int* in caves, were accounted for.
Adm. Chester *W Nimitz an-
nounced his forces had killed
about 33.000 ot the enemy on
Guam, Tinian and Saipan, against
a loss of 3,589 American dear'.
17.548 wounded and 1,550 missing.
