Denman Alarmed
By Increase Of
U-Boat Sinkings
Thinks Decrease in May Was
Owing to Preparations for
Meeting U. S. Troop Ships
From Tho Tribune Bureau

Washington, June 1s.-William Den
man, chairman of the Shipping Board,
said after his conference with Presi-
dent Wilson to-day:
"The most serious thing and the
most important news IN connection
with the war is the steadily mounting
figures of sinkings of British ships
The decrease in the sinkings during the
last two weeks in May eventually
showed that Germany had recalled her
Submarines TO prepare them for the
expected sailing OF American troop
ships. Sinkings now are again on the
increase"
London's figures on the toll Of Brit
sh ships taken by German submarines
since February II have been studied
here. In that period S22 vessels OF
more than 1000 tons and 1875 OF less
than 1900 tons were destroyed.
In the same period submarines at
tackled unsuccessfully 299 ships. The
weekly percentage of unsuccessful at.
tacks has ranged from 81 to 5s. Last
week. ended June 8, it was 5S.
The British figures do not give the
tonnage of vessels sunk, but officials
here say 5000 tons probably would be
fair average for vessels Of more than
500 tons. Computing the total at that
average and putting the average OF the
smaller ships at 1000 tons, the total
loss during slightly less than four
months submarine warfare would
reach l,745, 900 tons, or about 25o,ooo
tons less than the entire worlds ship
ping output during 1916.

fRr III. Associ.ied Pressl

Washington, June 1s.-Simultaneou,
construction of sixteen war army can
tonments, each TO house 10000 troops,
has proved such an enormous task that
officials do not now believe it can be

September 1.
Whether any of the men selected un'
der the draft will be called out until
the government is ready to begin train

been revealed. II is believed. however,
that even if the cantonments are not
complete by the beginning Of Septem-
Der, the date generally suggested for
the mobilization, such units as can be
accommodated may be summoned in
advance of the others.
Work on the cantonments will go for
ward as rapidly as possible, and War

all have not been completed by Sep
tember they will be ready soon after
that date.
