SINKING SUBS

Continued from Page 1.)

M. Leygues said that in February, March and April 3,723 French steam CTS and 788 French sailing vessels passed through the danger zone, where a few months ago losses by torpedoing had been very heavy. Not a single ship was sunk.
 On the other hand, he said, the number of submarines destroyed had increased progressively since Janu- ary in such proportion that the eff fectiveness of enemy squadrons can not be maintained at the minimum required by the regulations.
 The number of enemy submarines destroyed in January, February and March was far greater in each month than the number constructed in the same month. In February and April the number of submarines destroyed was three less than the total destroy ed in the preceding three months.
