U.S.. SHIPPING FORCES
INCREASE MANY FOLD
Insurance Bureau Chief Gives
Comparative Figures.

American shipping losses due to
submarine activities during the nrsi
six months OF 1917 amounted TO more
than eleven times the total losses of
the two previous years, DR.. William
c. Delaney. chief OF the United
States War Risk Insurance Bureau,
announced today.
Since January 1. 1917, the bureau
has insured SAL, 1915 OF American
cargoes. with a loss of SO 100000.
Previous ito that time the bureau had
lost only 100000 due to submarine
sinkings.
Private insurance firms, as a rule,
are refusing to insure cargoes enter
ing the war zone but where they
are willing to take the risk, the
premium runs higher than is per
cent.
Up to date the bureau has not lost
dollar on the insurance of seamen
and officers under the provisions OF
the new $4,000. 900 war risk insur-
ance bill. II is estimated that be-
fore the war is terminated, about
2sO, 900 seamen will be insured, at
an average insurance OF $1,000 per
man.
