A Week Of The War

The Nays announcement of q recent
conference of American, British and
Canadian officers to discuss the pro-
lection of Allied shipping in the Atlantic
revealed that this was only one Of .
series. Conferences of this sort have
been and will continue to be held, the
announcement said, to review all phases
of the anti-submarine campaign and 10
determine che most effective uses Of
Allied escort vessels, anti-submarins
craft and aircraft. According to OWL
Director Davis, the agreement between
the U. S., Great Britain and Canada for
a concerted war against the submarines
gives us reason to look for increased
efficiency in this sphere, although the
U-Boats are still a considerable prob
lem.
U. s. Submarines Also A Menace
A late report from the Navy gives the
other side Of the story. American sub
marines operating in the Pacific recently
sank 4 Japanese vessels, a destroyer, .
large transport and 2 cargo vessels and
damaged three others. Earlier in the
week the Navy reported ship losses for
the entire Solomons Campaign SO far
81 Japanese ships sunk against 81 U. s.
vessels sunk. Japanese ship losses in
that area since the campaign began
August z, 1912, included 10 vessels prob
ably sunk and 10s damaged in addition
to the Ga sunk, and thus came to q
total of 1872. Dur losses, according to
the report, totaled 1892 sunk plus Z
others damaged or overdue.
Japanese Merchant Fleet Losses
Some estimates on the Japanese mer
chant ship position were given last week
by Secretary of the Navy Knox. At the
beginning of the war, he said, Japan's
merchant tonnage was estimated at g.
1863, 900 gross tons, and by March I Of
this year her estimated losses had total
ed 1, 857, 900 tons or almost one third
of her entire merchant fleet. Mr.. Knox
admitted that perhaps half of this has
been replaced by the seizure Of foreign
vessels in Asiatic waters and by new
building and salvage, but declared Jap
ans total tonnage today is probably IA
per cent less that that with which she
set out.
Americans Occupy Gafsa
The news from Tunisia shows heavy
Allied air attacks against the Mareth
Line. and against the Axis base of Gabes.
in what may be the start Of the offens-
i've against Marshal Rommel's Afrika
Korps. Bad weather, however, has been
restricting operations. Allied Forces
in Central Tunisia have Occupied Gafss,
after a 30-mile advance encountering
little enemy opposition. The Axis seems
to be withdrawing Southeast. in the
direction of Gabes, leaving behind mines
and BOBBY traps.
