ALLIED SUPPLY SHIPS
NONE DESTROYED BY ENEMY IN PACIFIC. DURING PAST SIX MONTHS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.10 p.m.) LONDON, November 15. No Allied supply ships have been lost in the Pacific during the past six months as a result of enemy action, said Rear-Admiral W. B. Young, Chief of the United States Navy Bureau of Supplies. Referring to the difficulties of supplying scattered Pacific bases, Admiral Young drew attention to the lack of harbours and quays for unloading supplies, which at many places had to be transported ashore in small boats. Ho paid tribute to New Zealand and Australia for adapting their industries to meet the demands of United States forces in their area.
