The Indian Arrow, owned by the Socony-Vacuum oil com pany, was the seventeenth ship sank by submarines In recent weeks off the Atlantic coast of the United States and Canada. LONDON, Feb. (HP) -German submarines, including those raid lng United States coastal waters, are taking a mounting toll of al lied shipping in the Atlantic, it w,as announced Friday night by official British sources who pre dicted the force of U-boats in these waters "quite possibly will be increased." These sources said that while present losses were the highest In six months, they did not ap - proach the damage inflicted by " Nazi undersea raiders In the ' first world war. The intensity of U.boat opera tions in American shipping lanes was attributed to two factors: A large proportion of the Ger man submarine fleet had been as Signed to the western Atlantic; At least some of these craft might be getting their supplies from surface mother ships. On one point the official sources were agreed that "more U-boats are operating in the western At lantic than ever before." In Berlin "authoritative mil itary quarters" listed the six "enemy" ships which the high command said had been sunk by submarines off the American east coast as the freighter Amer ekaland, the tanker Trontolite and the steamers Rochester, Empire Wildebeeste, Traveller and Tacoma Star. This brought total Nazi claims on ships sank off the east coast of the United States and Canada to 49 vessels totalling 349,000 tons. The United States navy has con firmed the sinking of 17 ships since mid-January. Loss of the Rochester, only American ship of the six named Friday, was an nounced by the navy Jan. 31. In listing the Swedish-Flag Amerika land, said by her New York op erators still to be in service, the Nazis apparently had confused her with another ore-carrier, the American-Flag Venore, which was destroyed Jan. 23 off the North Carolina coast. BBC Denies Bomb Truce - With Nazis NEW YORK, Feb. 6-A)-The BBC denied reports Friday night that Germany and Great Britain have agreed that neither coun try will be heavily bombed in the future. CBS heard the broad cast. "This piece of news is false," the BBC said. "It is deliberately put out with the aim of explain ing why, in ; spite of Hitler's threats, for several months the Luftwaffe has not been able to deliver strong attacks on Eng land. "The truth is what is left of the Luftwaffe is spread out over a dozen theatres of war and can not bomb England heavily be cause it has grown too weak." BBC said that reports of the air truce were circulated throughout Germany.

The rebellion ended with his capture by a scoot detail led by Gen. Frederick Funston, then a young officer. He has been a hero with the Filipinos, but nevertheless his advice had no apparent effect upon the Filipino troops under Mac Arthur. Nor did the latest pamphlet dropped. s This the department quoted as saying that the "worthless inva sion currency: which the Japan ese brought with them and are forcing the population to accept was rapidly dominating Manila commerce. In full, the pamphlet said: "To the Filipino soldiers: "All the banks in the city of Manila are under the regula tions of the Japanese forces and newly Issued war notes are controlling more and more the financial activities of Manila day after day. For this reason the money you are receiving from the American forces as your salary is losing its value and will be waste paper In the near future. "Take my word, you are ex posing your life in danger without any remuneration. There is nothing so pointless. In Manila your countrymen f$joy life peacefully with full cooperation with the Japanese forces. Give up useless fight ing. Surrender immediately to the Japanese forces." In view of the nature of the currency which the Japs are cir culating, the Filipino troops found this "particularly ludic rous," the communique said.
