Over 48 Hours Since Last
Shipping Losses Were
Announced
SOME ENEMY U=BOATS
NOT TO RETURN HOME,
Atlantic Coast Being Pros
tected; Navy Secret
About Enemy Losses
BY SANDOR S. KLEIN
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

Washington, January "a
CUP - The Navy, by re-
routing ships and destroying,
crippling or capturing an I'M
stated number of German
submarines, was taking
care" of the submarine men
ace along the Atlantic coast
today. More than 48 hours
has passed since the last
Navy announcement of a shipping
loss. While that does not mean
there have been no attacks, it is a
distinct improvement over a few
days ago when reports of attacks
were being issued almost daily.
Six vessels were sunk or dam
aged In the week that ended We'd
neSday.
A Navy spokesman last evening
said that "sone of the recent Wis
itors to our territorial waters will
never enjoy the return trip portion
of their voyage.
'The percentage Of one-way traf-
fic is increasing while that of two
way traffic is satisfactorily on the
Decline" He continued.
He referred to many rumors and
unofficial reports" about the cap
ture or destruction Of enemy sub
marines, but said no information
would be announced until that in
formation is no longer of aid and
comfort to the enemy"
War Secrets Kept
This is phase of the game Of
war secrecy into which every Amer
lean should enter enthusiastically,
he said.
He stressed the importance of all
persons being silent about counter
measures. Silence is the most etfec-
