The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-07

The reduction was made, it was or fciauy announced, because of the de- crease in the risks" Unofficially it was regarded as the governments ex. pression of it's opinion, in terms of dol lars and cents, that the U-boats have passed the zenith in their campaign Of frightfulness.
 CUT WAS SURPRISE
 Indications have not been lacking for the past three weeks that the govern ment intended to revise it's war risk insurance rates in the light of reduced effectiveness of German submarines. 1t hardly was thought. however, that the cut would be large.
 Announcement of the reduction was made in this cryptic statement by the treasury departments:
 'The Secretary of the Treasury to- day announced that the bureau of war risk insurance has reduced it's rates on all American steamers and cargoes traversing the war zone from F per cent to per cent
 This reduction is made because of the corresponding decrease in the risks"
 Determination of the war risk pre;ni ium is based upon many factors but primarily on the number of vessels traversing the war zone and the num- Der of sinkings. The effectiveness of methods used in combating submarines also enters largely into consideration.
 From the governments announce ment, 1t Is regarded as apparent that officials believe effective methods have been adopted to deal with the U-boats, although details cannot be revealed. The war risk bureau has assumed risks totaling many hundreds of millions of dollars, with minimum losses, and it is regarded as unlikely that this success would be jeopardized in the future by making rates below the limit of safety warranted by facts, some of them of a secret and highly confidential nature in possession of bureau officials and their superior officers. The tendency thus far has been rather toward rates with due marginal allowance for risks slightly greater than those con sidered in formulating the premiums
