said to-day.
While they did not discount the posi-.
bility of new raids, the safety of the
giant French liner Lafayette, the Sean
dinavian- American liner Hellig Olav and
the American liner st. Paul lent strength
to the thought that the raiders may now
be streaking homeward.
Weather bureau officials said the pos

driven the U-boat or boats to shelter
From now on, marked weather changes
and possibly squally and even danger

bureau, though the worst storms gen.
orally do not hit the upper Atlantic un-
til January.
came the statement to-day that the sub
marine raids have had mot the slight
est effect" upon the munitions traffic,
aside from temporary delays last week
by holding boats in port.
Ships are under charter for months
ahead, and unless there are worse at
tacks than heretofore, the shipments
will go merrily on, it was stated. Big
quantities of war supplies are stored
