Hard to Get Real Figures.

1t is frankly admitted in Navy cir
cles that 1t is Impossible to obtain abb
solutely accurate figures on the de.
struction of submarines. Reports Of
encounters are carefully sifted, the
benefit of the doubt always being
given to the enemy, and in many
cases where evidence seems to show
that the U-boat was destroyed 1t is
marked down as possibly slightly
damaged" But even after these de-
ductions, allied officials have reason
to belive that the rate OF sinkings
has definitely overtaken the maxi
mum possible German construction.
It is believed further that succeed
ing weeks will see a gradual improve
ment in the efficiency Of the anti
submarine campaign with constant
ly mounting ratio of certain de-
structions Of underwater craft.

Won Capelle's statement that an av-
erage of five big steamers" per day
are being destroyed was branded as
gross exaggeration. Taking 5000
tons as the average per ship. low
figure, this would mean that the Ger
man submarines are accounting for
100000 tons per month.
Some officers suggested that the
German minister of marine evidently
Is forcing himself to believe that
submarines failing to report over an
extensive period have simply been de-
layed in their return. In the course
of time. however. the failure of in

sion of the loss of the boats.
