Tacoma S ~"
Goes onward

Tacoma's Y. NJ. c. A. is rapidly
surging forward, c. ]. Shaw, gen
eral secretary of the "Y," said
Wednesday. following an annual
meeting of directors, held Tuesday
night.
Membership was maintained in
numbers and activity during 1912,
Shaw stated, ''in spite of heavy
losses suffered by young men
leaving for armed forces. How
ever. our group work had de-
creased, but our program has been
maintained.
The association has given near
iy 100 membership cards TO men in
service, and we have definite
proof that these cards-good in
any Y. NJ c. A. in the world-are
being used in foreign cities, Shaw
said.
Other notable improvements in
the program have been the slicing
of the mortgage balance. and es-
tablishment of a debt retirement
and building Improvement fund TO
complete payment of the mort
gage. Plans are being made
Shaw stated, to modernize the old
building-now IS years old.

u. s. Plones on
Reconnaissance

NASHINGTON-American air
craft on a reconnaissance mission
over Jspanese-held Wake island
are believed 10 have shot down two
o. eight intereepting Zero fighters.
the navy announced Wednesday.
AL OF our planes returned safely.
The action occurred Monday and
was the first reported over Wake
since American airmen dumped
$4,000 pounds Of bombs on the
island during the night Of Dec
1924.
Army planes were presumed
TO have participated In the
operation.
At the same time the navy COM
munique reported that Flying
Fortresses heavily bombed the
Japanese sirfield on Ballale island
in the Shorthand island area Of the
solomons. The big bombers en-
eountered weak antiaircraft fire.
They started fires in the revet-
ments. which are artificial en-
bankments designed 10 protect
against strafing and bomb and
shell fragments.
Ballale island is approximately
900 nautical miles northwest of
Henderson airfield on Guadal-
canal
Wake island. which fell into
Japanese hands within the
first few weeks of the war, IL
1894 nautical miles west of
Pearl Harbor and 1,028 nauti-
cal miles southwest of Midway
island.
There was no explanation by the
navy for the reconnaissance flight
but ii was believed intended to de-
termine what progress the Japan
csc had made in repairing THEN
installations after the late De-
cember blasting by army planes.
