SUBMARINE TOLL
FOR LAST WEEK
IS NEAR RECORD
Loss to British is Heavy
Navy Men Are Not Dis
couraged.

LONDON, June 21.-The weekly
list of British losses in torpedoed
ships, which was issued Wednesday,
showed the highest total or fmany
weeks. the number of ships sunk be-
ing comparable to the worst week
since the ruthless U-boat campaign be-
gan.
The returns week by week for the
last three months show that the U.
boat activities run in waves and it is
assumed that this week is the crest
OF period of super activity noticed
the previous week
The last week includes one day
which Is regarded as a record for the
number Of vessels lost. The situa.
ton, however, is not regarded over
pessimistically by naval men who in
sist that the admiralty methods of
fighting the submarines are constant
ly growing in effect In support of
this they point to the constantly in
creasing number of boats which es-
cape the submarines. The Germans
are resorting to every possible meth.
Cd OF circumventing the patrols and
the submarines frequently change
the scene OF their operations.
