that damaged parts may be replaced

of about 100000 per ship is counted
on by the board. Each will carry a
crew of about 35 men.

Exhaust U-boat Resources
In their calculations. the president
and the shipping board have had the
advice of allied naval authorities and
have computed carefully the ability
of the German U-boats to cope with
large numbers of merchantmen. They
are convinced that the United States
soon can exhaust the resources of
the German submarine fleet for oper-
ating far from its base.
If the blockade running campaign
