MENACE is BEING OVERCOME
Allied and Neutral Losses by Sub
marines Show Decrease.

marines Show Decrease.
Washington, May -. 49, Official
French statistics on the submarine
warfare received here in a dispatch
from France show that the total loss
es of the Allied and neutral ships,
including accidents at sea, were ap-
proximately only one-half as great as
during April in 1917.
In April last year 634,6S5 gross tons
were lost, while this April's figures
are 381 ,631. Submarine attacks now
are more costly for the enemy, the
dispatch points out, owing to the fact
that the attacks are chiefly made with
torpedoes instead of gunfire, as was
the case before merchant ships were
adequately and efficiently armed
