GERMANS CONCEAL LIST
OF DEAD ON U-BOATS
Hamburg-American Lines Tribute to
It's Employees, However, Re-
veals Losses

COPENHAGEN. July S.-For many
weeks obviously in compliance with orders
Of the censor, German newspapers have
published no death notices from the subma.
rine service, from which conclusions re-
garding the number of submarines de-
stroyed might be drawn.
The monthly obituary tribute OF the Ham
rg.America Company to its employees who
have been lost appears, however, with eight
out of twelve names ascrlbed to the navy
Nearly all are from the mechanical per
sonnel of the company and it is fair
presumption they were lost in the subma-
rine campaign. because trained mechanics
are not assigned to the marine forces in
Flanders, and surface ships are little eX.
posed to casualties.
Recently the same proportion OF CASUAL
ties from other sources from which the
submarine personnel is drawn would indl-
cate the submarine losses are inconsistent
with the Admiralty assertion that the
| monthly loss in boats IL below ten. Among
the dead Is Lieutenant Brinlibaeumer, who
was decorated with the Iron Cross OF the
| first and second classes, the usual tribute
