 UNNECESSARY

CAMPAIGN OF SUBMARINES
 LOSING OUT
soclated Prcss)


 LONDON. May 15.-(Delayed)- The report of the weeks submarine losses which will be made tomorrow will be the most favorable for scv- cral weeks, according to an an nounccmcnt made from the British admiralty office tonight It is un- derstood that the number of ships which have been torpedoed during the past week is well below the gen eral average, and that the number escaping attack by German subna- rnes will be far above the average,
 Weather favorable to shipping in general and uniayorabIe to the ope- ration of submarines is assigned as the cause Tor the lowering of the average. The clear weather of the past week has made it possible for submarines to be seen when a long way off, thereby alfording the vessels that otherwise might have been at tackled chance to make their es- cape.
 The report which will be made will also show, it is stated, an in crease in the number of submarines which have been sunk This in crease, it is declared, is because the clear weather is favorable to airplane attacks on submarines, and the air plane scouts are very active in that regard.
