UERL1N July 8 (Via The Hague)
Germany's submarine ring about
Great Drltatn Is rapidly tightening.
Kach woek the admiralty is launching
two monster "U" boats which are
nble to cross the Atlantic under their
own power. Reliable reports to Grand
Admiral von Tirpltx declare that the
toll of the past fortnight has struck
terror lu the hearts of English ship
owners.
Not more than halt of the vessels
sunk by submarines are reported by
the English press. Careful estimates
made here show that the loss during
the last two months averaged f 1,000,
000 weekly. The German newspapers
nrlnt longer lists of the submarine
victims each weak, heading thus:
"Tho Toll of Our Tireless U Boats"
Tho public realises that many are
only small Itshlug vessels ot no value.

submarine attack! la being removed.
Not only do the fishing vessels give

marines, hut at least In on cat

fare Is proven, according to naval
cuthorltlcH, by the rise In'the price of
foodstuffs In tbe all'td nations. The
only question, they declare. Is "how
long can the ship owners stand tho
strain."
