OF British losses in torpedoed ships,
issued today, shows that twenty
seven vessels of over 1000 tons and

one previously, five.
British merchant ships unsuccess-
fully attacked, including two pre-
viously, thirty-one.
British fishing vessels sunk, none
The foregoing figures Of British
shipping losses show larger number
OF vessels sunk last week than in any
of the six preceding weeks. In the
seven-day period ending April % fifty
one vessels-thirty-eight over and
thirteen under 1000 tons-were sunk.
The heaviest totals since the Teuton
submarine campaign was opened in
February last were registered in the
