First Gut in Rates

To-day's announcement marks the
first reduction IN any government IN
surance risk TO any waters infested by
submarines. Heretofore the revisions
have all been upward. The first in
crease was announced March 81, before
Americas entry into the war, and ap-
proximstely seven weeks after the
German Admiralty pit into effect its
cannaign of ruthlessness. This in
crease was approximately 30 per cent,
or, on the average. from ? per cent TO
per cent OF the value Of the ships
and cargoes.
Little more than two weeks after
Americas entry into the war. the rate
was increased approximately two
thirds, or generally from 3 TO s per
cent. Announcement was made that
the increase was put into effect TO
bring American rates 70 a parity with
those OF other governments. II is sig
ni1cant. however, that the increase was
announced on :he same dav that the
German submarines ended the week Of
their maXinum schievement--the week
of April q, when total of forty yes
sells of ore than 1000 tons were sent
to the bottom.
The third ard last increase, an
nounced July q. brought rates up TO
612 per cent. II was made, the bureau
announced. because the : per cent
rate is not adequate for the risks up-
dertaken through the so-called war
zone. as the bureau has sustained a
number Of heavy losses"
Steady diminution in the number Of
weekly sinkings since September 2 is
primarily responsible for the decrease
in rates announced to-day.

War Risk Insurance has reduced It's
rates on all American steamers and
cargocs traversIng the war zone from
