London, Fab. 3, -The German news-
papers claim that in the first year of
the unrestricted submarine warfare
9,000,000 tons of allied and neutral
shipping were sunk, and that only
4,000,000 tons have been built to off-
set this.
As showing how unreliable 19 the
information which the German author-
ities give out, the Associated Press is
authorized to state that the claim put
forward exaggerates the actual ton-
nage lost by more than 50 per cent.
The total net loss of world's ocean-
going tonnage since the outbreak of
the war,' including the losses by
marine risk as well as by enemy ac-
tion, and allowing for enemy tonnage
captured, amounts to less than 3,000;
000 tons, or, roughly, nine per cent. of
the tonnage available at the outbreak
of the war.
