SHIPPING LOSSES
From SUBS SHOW
GREAT DECREASE

American Naval Base, France, Octo-
Der 1S.-The record of submarine ac-
tivity for the summer months, june
July, and August, the period most lay
orable to submarines is now practicdi-
ly made up and shows two highly sat
isfactory results: steady fall IN inc
allied shipping sunk and a steady rise
in the submarines destroyed.
This summer period which has also
covered the tremendous arrivals Is
equally satisfactory: not one OF the IN
coming troop ships lost and every SOL
dier landed. Such losses as have oc-
Cured have been on outgoing ships'
mainly freighters going back with III
tie OR no cargo.
As the American naval convoy serV-
ice has borne the brunt Of this pro
lection. the results achieved Tor the
the American fleet.
The record Of tonnage losses for the
summer will be close around 26O,OOO
tons, or about $4,000 tons less than
the monthly losses at the opening OF
the year and 100000 tons less than the
losses in March. In January the losses
stood at about 100000 tons. They
mounted steadily through February and
March until the March total was
around $4,000 Then sudden drop
began and in April the losses We're
down to 100000. Again they mounted
slightly in May to 100000. Then there
was another fall to 10000. In July
they stood at 100000 and this has been
the level to the close of the summer.
The percentage of losses on the At
lantic route since the convoy system
began May p last is less than that of
any other route, being around 1 per
cent. AS TO the loss Of submarines.
the one fact known definitely is that
they are being destroyed faster than
they are being built.
Among the new ones are the U-139,
U-iii, and U-Il2. having a length Of
about 3l5 feet with 16 knots speed on
the surface and nine knots under WI
