U-BOAT LOSSES ARE
SMALL THIS WEEK
Thirteen British Merchant Vessels Sunk
But Eleven of These Were Over
1000 Tons.

LONDON, oct, 4-Eleven British mer-
chantmen OF more than 900 tons and two
vessels under l,6OO tons were sunk by
mines or submarine last week according to
the British admiralty statement made pub
lis last evening
The shipping summary follows: Arrivals
1850; sailing, 2,742 British merchant YES
sells sunk by mine or submarine, over 1000
tons, including two previously, Il; under
800 tons, two: fishing vessels sunk, none.
British merchant vessels unsuccessfully
attacked. including seven previous, iG
The above statement OF the British adj
mlralty again lowers the aggregate et Brit
ish merchantmen sunk by mines or sub
marines during any week since Germany
began her intensified submarine campaign.
As against Is merchant vessels sunk the
previous week, which was the low record
since February, only II merchantmen are
shown to have been sent to the bottom
last week
The total of an losses TO world shipping
since Gcrmany's ruthless U-boat war went
into effect aggregate about two-thirds of
those claimed by the Germans in state
mcnt issued September l. At that time
the Germans alleged that an average OF
10000 tons had been sunk monthly for
seven months
The actual totals of tonnage sunk com
piled at London show that not even during
the most successful month for the J-boat
Apul-hav the figures reached any
such proportion while the August losses
dropped to almost half the April figure.

CUB BOWLED OVER
BY AUTOMOBILE
Small Black Bear Brought to Brooks
House and Grated by Northampton
Men-Caught Near Bondville.

Paul N. Borowski and Joseph Ko-
walski of Northampton. Mass. returning
Yesterday from Manchester (Nt3,
brought to the Brooks House a live
BLACK bear cub which they Grated
here and took home with them
The reason the bear was alive was
because it fell before their auto
mobile, instead of their guns, and
also because il was small bear. When
driving over a mountain road near
Bondyille the two men saw a bear
and cub cross the road ahead of them.
They put on full speed in the hope of
getting a shot at the bear. with the re-
suit that they eollidcd with second
cab running to ovcrtake his mother. The
cub appeared to have been killed by the
blow il had received and the men threw
it into the back part of the machine.
When they gave further attention to
the animal a little later they found it
breathing, and it has since made a
good recovery The cub is on cxhihi-
tion in the window Of Mr. kowalski 5
