ALVINSTON, Ont, Dec. 7.-An

The address ran into three COL

Nazi U-Boats Takinq
Much Bigger Weekly
Toll Of Shipping
Rate for Lost II Weeks
$4,000 Tons, Compared
To 43 900 q Year Ago
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press War Correspondent.


LONDON, Dec. THE threat of
the German U-boat to the COM
merce by which Britain lives is
sharply defined by the figures COM
piled by neutral sources which put
average weekly British, Allied and
neutral shipping losses at $4,000
tons for the last IL weeks, compared
to an average of $4,000 tons a year
ago.
The increased submarine activity
since the Germans established
themselves in the French ports of
Lorient, Brest and Cherbourg has
bumped the weekly average for the
war to $1,000 tons to date.
Reasons for Increase.
April, 1917, was the worst month
for Britain in the World War. She
lost $4,000 tons that month. At
that time the convoy system had not
been adopted. Today it is in use.
The reasons for the present in
crease, according to neutral naval
sources. are the new German bases
plus the operations of bombing and
scouting aircraft which operate be-
tween 600 and 700 miles west of
Ireland.
There is no doubt the British
Navy, especially the destroyer force,
is doing its utmost to combat the
threat, but more long-range air
craft and more destroyers appear
to be needed by the dozens and
scores, not by ones and twos.
Sub Sinkings Unclaimed Recently.
Not since November has the
Admiralty announced the sinking
of German submarine Ger
many's rate of construction of sub
marines is not known.
Records of Admiralty COM
muniques in the current year in
dicate that Is German submarines
have been destroyed. Prime Min
lister Churchill in a speech of Feb
ruary 81, 1910, declared half of
Germany's submarine strength,
namely 35 U-boats, had been sunk
up to the end of 1899, giving Britain
a total bag of so sunk since the
outbreak of war.
