WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-Officials

figures today showing thai the sub
marine has fast become negligible
factor during the past SIX months.
Only one in every 200 all ed ships in
the war zone was attacked and OF
those attacked only one in 25 was
sunk. The reduction in sinking is
due to experience in coping with the
submarines.
Conveying merchantmen is the
best method yet found. Camoufiage,
low visibility and speed are also con-
tributing factors. Eighty per cent of
the vessels sunk were without any
protection whatever.
