VICTORY WON
IN SECOND PHASE OF BATTLE IN SOLOMONS BEATEN ENEMY FORCES WITHDRAWN. THIRD PHASE MAY OPEN AT ANY TIME. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, August 27. A Navy Department communique, issued in Washington, states that it appears that the Japanese warships have withdrawn from the battle in the south-east Solomons. There has been no further action at sea, since the last communique was issued, when it was stated that a strong Japanese force had been repulsed. Ten Japanese warships and four other- vessels, presumably transports and supply ships, were damaged in that action. It is pointed out in Washington that the third phase of the battle may be fought at any time. The second phase has come to an end, with a victory for the United States forces. A United States destroyer has been sunk in a collision in the Atlantic.
