MANY U-B0ATS SUNK
SIR ERIC 0EpDEs GIVES CREDIT
TO AMERICAN NAVY.
Loss Of Worlds Tonnage in February
Half That Of Corresponding
Month Last Yea.

London, March 7.-"For some
MONTHS Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of
the admiralty. said on Tuesday, 1--WE
believe that We and the Americans
have been sinking submarines as fast
as they are built"
The trend of the figures of loss Of
shipping by enemy action was stead
lily improving, Sir Eric stated. The
loss to the worlds tonnage during
February was little more than half
the loss during February of last year
he said.
Submarines were being destroyed i'm
increasing numbers, he continued. and
as the methods employed against them
were developed the numbers would be
enlarged still further. There was a
growing reluctance on the part of Ger
man crews TO put To sea. The chances
that submarine would return from
voyage in the waters around Eng
land were one in four or one i'm five.
III the waters around the British
isles. which had been the enemy's
chief field for submarine operations,
the greatest successes against the T.
boats had been obtained so far.
On the other hand, conditions In the
Mediterranean had been more difficult.
Losses there accounted for some 80
per cent of merchant ships sunk. The
resources for combating the Subma-
rineS in those waters were less ade-
Quate and the successes obtained less
satisfactory.
