interest in the service among those

definite announcement in regard to
the progress which M. H. S. is max
Ing" he said. Before any figures
are released the service wishes to
complete a thorough survey of all
employees who are eligible to par

need and demand among persons Of
limited income.
Every effort is being made to de.
termine the need and to perfect the

meet same wherever found
Recommendations which have
been made to the service by or
ganized groups, community leaders
and others, have and are receiving
careful study. Some notifications

its obligation"

changes which liberalize qualifca-
tions for subscribers.

groups can be made up of 10 or
more subscribers.

ing to participate in the service has
been changed from go to IS years,
and a provision has been made for
an individual subscriber and one de-
pendent, other than a spouse. to
be accepted at the rate of $3.50
per month. Previously only a sub
scriber and spouse were so accepted.
The present requirements for ad-
mission of married persons as SUBJ
scrlbers are that they must have in
comes of $500 or less to be eligi-
BILE. An additional 5000 is allowed
for each dependent, to be added to
the s2,5OO.

sidering the liberalization of these
ngures has not been disclosed.

Federation Support
For Potomac Bridge
Project 10 Be Asked
Arlington Group Will
Discuss Proposed Structure
At Roosevelt Island

The Arlington County (Va.) Civic
Federation will be asked at its No
vember meeting to indorse a pro-
posed bridge across the Potomac
River at Roosevelt Island.
Support of the project has been
given by the Highland Park Citizens
Association, which has instructed its
federation delegates to seek the in
dorsement of the civic body.
The proposal was originated by
Ray E. Guard Of Fairfax and was
brought to the attention of the
Highland Park body by L. E. Schol-
ties, vice president. 1t is designed
primarily to relieve traffic conges-
ton on Lee boulevard, Lee highway
and Wilson boulevard.
According to tentative plans ad-
vanced by Mr.. Guard, the span
would extend from the Virginia
shore in line extending Wilson
boulevard across to Roosevelt Island
and continue over to the Washing
ton shore to connect in the vicinity
of the Titanic Monument at the
junction of E street, New Hamp-
shire avenue and Rock Greek park
way. Provision is made for clover
leaf" traffic connections with Will
son boulevard, the road in the
George Washington Memorial park
way. Roosevelt Island and q traffic
circle at the Titanic Monument.
Connection would be made with
Lee boulevard by way of new road
over the abandoned railroad tracks
of the Arlington & Fairfax Railroad
Co. Wilson boulevard would be con-
tinued straight ahead and connected
with Lee highway In the Rosslyn
area and would also utilize the rail-
road tracks.
With the proposal now in the
formative stage, sponsors concede
that much work will lie ahead if the
federation's Endorsement is given.
1t is proposed to take the plan up
later with the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, Federal,
county and District officials.

Germany Claims
Continued Success
1orpedoing Ships
Communique Asserts
lis Vessels Sunk,
Toto|ine 475,32l Tons
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct. 28-The high COM
mand indicated today the loss of
three submarines. but said Ger
many's mercantile warfare con-
tlnued to be successful"
In communique claiming de-
struction of at least lis merchant
ships of an aggregate of 475.32l tons
since the beginning of the war, the
command declared "our own losses
are only Slight"
THE loss hitherto of three SUBJ
marines must be counted on in view
of their long absence" it said.
Winston Churchill, first lord of
the British admiralty, asserted on
october II that out of about go
German submarines ready for ac-
tion at the beginning of the war
Germany had lost one-third, sunk
or damaged.
He said, further, that Britain's
merchant marine of 21,OOO,OOO tons
had lost only 174.0OO tons while
German shipping had been swept
from the seas.
(An Associated Press survey
on October "a placed the total
merchant shipping loss at the
hands OF Germany at 80 ships
with gross tonnage of 399,3l9
and 1,774 lives lost. Of the 80
ships % were of neutral nations)
Allied reports in the last week
have indicated at least three, and
possibly four, German submarines
were destroyed in that period. On
October 81 the British ministry of
information said a merchant ship
holed submarine and left her to
be destroyed by British destroyer.
German naval circles said they
believed that in addition to great
commercial tonnage, some 100000
tons of allied warcraft had been
either sunk or disabled.
Between October IL and 25," the
communique said, there were sunk,
according to reports confirmed by
our own fighting units:
TWENTY-FIVE ships with 109,370
register tons; according to reports
in the foreign press. an additional
three ships with 1906 register tons.
thus totaling Is ships with 121,976
register tons.
Thus total losses since the be-
ginning of the war are raised to lis
ships of 475,32l tons. Inasmuch as
unconfrmed reports are not in
cluded in this compilation, it must
be assumed that the actual figures
regarding sinkings are considerably
higher
