chairman of the project for AWvS.

Washington)
1t is Mrs. White and Miss Helen
DUNCAN who are teaching this
course. Miss Dunigan, native of
Washington, studied photography at
the King-Smith Studio here for two
years. She has done considerable
professional photography, and with
two brothers in the armed services
it is only natural that her interest
in volunteer war work should veer
toward working with servicemen,
and working in the field she knows
best, photography. She is young and
pretty and an able assistant to Mrs.
White.
So enthusiastic are the reports of
this first class that the AWVS has
received many requests for other
courses. And that's what War Serv-

modern methods of news bulletins
by newspaper and radio.

Ian Fiske Stone spent the latter
part OF the summer at Bethel, Me-,

siderable in the field of art in the
past few years, did less painting
this year than last

lies, who will join them later in the

American submarines have
sunk 16 more Japanese ships in
enemy-controlled waters. The
big bag, announced today by the
Navy, included one large tanker
which could have been loaded
with badly needed fuel for enc
my bases.
The toll brought to 627 the number
of Japanese ships sunk, probably
sunk or damaged by submarine
action alone.
Sinkings by other causes-air-
planes and warships-boosts the
total damage to Japanese shipping
to 1889 enemy vessels of all types.
Operating Close to Japan.
Pursuant to policy, the Navy COM
munique announcing the latest sink
ings did not report the areas in
which the submarines operated.
However, submarines are known to
have been operating along the
coastal waters of Japan itself.
In addition to the large tanker,
other ships sunk by the far-reaching
undersea craft included five trans
ports and 10 cargo vessels, all of
which presumably were endeavoring
to keep men and materials moving
to bases scattered over the Pacific.
Such heavy damage to the enemy s
shipping lines has been accom-
plished with steady regularity and
only Tuesday Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz, commander in chief of the
Pacific Fleet, commenting on the
submarine campaign in the Pacific,
said Il think it has taken such
heavy toll of their shipping that
lack of shipping may soon be a
controlling factor in what they are
able to do"
Supplies for Truk Cut OFF.
Admiral Nimitz also expressed
opinion that submarine activities
have forced the japanese to with
draw their heavy naval units from
their South Pacific base at Truk
by cutting off supplies of fuel.
A recapitulation of the damage
done japanese shipping by Ameri-
can submarines shows: Definitely
sunk, ATT craft of all types; prob
ably sunk, 36, and damaged, ia.
