Sailing Ships IN WAR
Zone DENIED INSURANCE
U. S. Risk Bureau Stops Issuance Of
Policies to Vessels at Mercy Of Subs. i"

The government Bureau OF War Risk
Insurance last night announced a new
policy providing for the discontinuancs
OF issuance OF war risk insurance on
sailing vessels and auxiliary sailing
vessels operating in the war zone
Sailing ships In the Pacific. in the South
American trade, and in other waters out
side the war zone will continue TO be
insured.
The purpose Of this action is that thu
natural dependence OF the sailing ship
upon wind alone as a propulsive force
renders this type OF craft peculiarly AT
the mercy Of submarines. Their speed.
ordinarily, prevents sailing vessels from
successfully feeling from submarines
and. becalmed. such craft would be the
easiest possible prey for German
torpedoes.
The Treasury has insured = few sailing
ships which were caught by the out,
break of the war in European ports to
enable them to reach home under pro-
lection, but the sailing ship trade. the
government holds. cannot continue TO be
insured by the bureau.
