London, Oct. 4-Eleven British
merchantmen of more than 1000 tons
each and two vessels under 1900 tons
were sunk by mines or submarines last
week. according to the British Admir-
atty statement made public this even
ing.
The shipping summary follows:
Arrivals, 1850; sailings, 2,742.
< British merchant vessels sunk by
mine or submarine, over 1900 tons,
including two previously. eleven; I'M
der 1900 tons, two.
Fishing vessels sunk, none.
British merchant vessels unsuccess-
fully attacked. including seven pre-
viously, sixteen.
The official figures indicate that the
Germans are further than ever from
the mark they set when they started
to ''starve" England. Originally the
figure designated for the submarines
was 100000 tons month. In
February of this year there were de-
stroyed AGO. 900 tons. For the pre-
ceding two months the sinkings aver
aged slightly under $4,000 tons.
Since the original German estimate
was given out, Berlin several times
has revised Its predictions. at one time
stating that the Allies would be
brought to their knees II 100000 tons
were sunk paonthly, and later cutting
this scale down to much smaller
figure. The British statement ust
issued shows how far wide of even
their latest estimate the Teuton Ad-
miralty heads must be-. Exact COM
parsons of the U-boat losses always
are difficult on account Of the fact that
the British report does not give ton
mage, although from time to time
statements bearing on this point have
been issued.
This statement of the British Ad-
nnfralty again lowers the aggregate OF
British merchantmen sunk by mines
or submarines during any week since
Germany began her Intensified sub
marine campaign. AS against f1fteer
vessels sunk the previous week, which
was the low record since February
only thirteen merchantmen are shown
| to have been sent to the bottom last
week.
The total of all losses to orld's
shipping since Germany's ruthless u
| boat war went into effect aggregate
about two-thirds of hose claimed by
the Germans in a statement issued
September /. At that time the Ger
mans alleged that an average OF $780,
i 600 tons had been sunk monthly fol
seven months.
| The actual totals of tonnage sunk
compiled here show that not even dur.
| ing the most suce essful month for the
U-boat-April-hav the figures
reached any such proportion. while the
August losses dropped to almost hal
the April figure.
