ITALY LOSES 1O3
MERCHANT SHIPS
10 Per Cent OF Fleet Re-
ported Sunk, Captured,
Scuttled In Week
By the Associated Press

| Italy, in the first week OF her
war at sea, apparently lost at least
103 merchant ships-nearly 10 per
cent of her total-either scuttled
by their crews, sunk in combat,
or driven off the seas to seek ref
uge in neutral ports, an unofficial
survey of reports from the COM
batants disclosed yesterday.
On the other side of the ledger,
Italy claimed the torpedoing of an
Allied cruiser, a 10,000-ton tanker
and a French destroyer of 2,441
tons.
Britain, with announced sinkings
totaling 92,340 gross tons, saw al
most twice as much tonnage of all
