which have been averaging
more than 1000 persons q year.
New and safe methods Of rescue
also were taught to experienced
swimmers such as the use OF
torpedo buoys a light container
capable of supporting four per-
sons in water; and the paddle
board by which q swimmer can
propel himself speedily to q
drowning person.
Besides rescue measures all
students enrolled in the school
gained a greater understanding
Of waters natural hazards.
Knowing these conditions and
how to meet them will add
much even for accomplished
swimmers, to the zest and the
thrill of swimming, which has
become one of the most popular
outdoor sports.
The Water Safety Program
this year was sponsored by in
dividual branches of the Ma
comb County Chapter of the
American Red Cross. Next sum-
mer it is hoped that all chapters
will work as coordinated
group in the participation OF
water safety.
One of the main projects ac-
complished this summer was to
place all waterfronts in charge
of Water Safety Instructors
sponsored by the American Red
Cross Plans-ar being pres
ented to the Board of Directors
for next summers program on
a bigger scale. BY coordinating
the winter and summer water
safety instruction, an all-year-
round program will be COM
pleted.
Seniors that were passed this
summer will be available for
instructors on sthe waterfronts
next summer. Many of the in
structors this year were not
available due to the fact that
they were called into service.
More of the beaches should
be improved from the stand
point of water safety. A survey
has been made and it is hoped
that these improvements can be
made by next summer. The
beaches that took part in this
summers program are:

Hull Declines
Comment on
proieslaiions
Tokyo's Ambassador
Seeks Conference
with Secretary

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-(R
Secretary of State Hull made
plain today that the United
States stood on a freedom-of-
the-seas policy in connection
with shipments of war supplies
to Russia through the Pacific.
He was asked at his press con-
ference whether the United
States would insist on freedom
of the seas in carrying out the
shipments despite japanese OBJ
jections.
STILL IN EFFECT
His reply was that until this
policy was revoked, it could be
assumed that il was in effect.
AS to whether Japan had
made formal representations to
the United States concerning
shipments to Vladivostok, Hull
said he would leave any state
ment on this at the moment to
the foreign office in Tokyo.
He said that the Japanese am
bassador, Admiral Kichisaburo
Nomura, had asked for an ap-
pointment with him scheduled
for 1890 p.m., EST) there was
no immediate information as to
Nomura's purpose.
CLAIM PROTESTS
The Japanese news agency,
Domei, had reported from Tok-
yo earlier, however, that the
Japanese government had made
representations to the United
States and Russia against ship
ment of American aviation gas
oline to the Russian port of
Vladivostok.
The Soviet government also
had let it be known that it
had informed Japan that it
would regard as IAN unfriendly
act" any attempt by Japan to
interfere with normal trade re-
lations between the Soviet I'm
ion and the United States via
Far Eastern Soviet ports"
Nomura's appointment was
made while Hull was comforting
with the Soviet ambassador,
Constantine Oumansky.
Oumansky refused to indi-
cate in any way the subject Of
his conference with Hull.
DENY NOTICE
Official quarters disclaimed
knowledge today of any formal
japanese representations con.
corning American war supply
shipments to Russia via. Vladi-
vostok.
They indicated that III there
had been any discussions on the
subject, they arose only from
informal japanese inquiries.
Secretary of State Hull was
asked yesterday whether there
had been any representations
and replied by saying that until
there were definite develop
ments, if there should be any,
there was nothing he could say.
He said the day before that
the matter had not been dis
cuSSed.

second biggest city, and British
Imperial Forces striking north

Velikie Luki lies 275 miles

would mean that the Germans
had Strengthened out deep

3. Delayed dispatches from
Teheran, the Iran capital, re-

to their governments an Iran
plea for peace. The Shah, 1t was
