ATLOWEST RECORD
Only Il British Ships Sunk in
Week, Says Admiralty.
U. S. DESTROYERS HELPFUL
Berlin Suggests TOning Down
Celebrations Of Frightfulness.

LONDON, May 31.-with a dwind-
ling average of destruction for q
month, German submarines last week
sank fewer British merchant vessels
than in any week since the ruthless"
campaign opened on February /. Fri
day practically ends the four months
in which Germany declared the sub
marine war would bring England t.
her knees.
According to the admiralty figures
issued here, eighteen ships OF more
than 900 tons, one vessel of less than
that tonnage and two fishing craft
were sunk during the week ended
Sunday.
The only weekly figures comparable
with these are those for the week
ended April s, when seventeen large
vessels, one small one and six fish
ing craft were sunk.
New Low Record.
There is no way of comparing the
tonnage destroyed, but in proportion
TO the number OF ships entering and
clearing from ports in the British
Isles last weeks percentage OF de-
struction was decidedly lower than
even that for the week anded April 8.
Last weeks percentage was a little
less than OBS; the lowest percentage
previously recorded by the U-boats
was O.43.
In the "black week" which ended
April 20. when forty large vessels and
fifteen smaller ones were sent to the
bottom, IL rose to 10, and during the
first two weeks of the present cam
paign IL reached 1O4.
Seventeen ships Escape.
Including ships OF all nationalities'
B.4sT merchant vessels, aside from
fishing craft, entered or sailed from
ports in Great Britain during the
week ended Sunday. Seventeen Of the
British merchant feet were unsuc-
eessfuuy attacked by the U-bosts, in
dicating both less active and less
deadly operations.
The week before last thirty ships
OF all classes were sunk. The loss in
large ships was eighteen, the same as
last week, but the loss in smaller
vessels was nine, and in fishing craft
three.
Several causes are given here for
