GERMAN EXCUSES
Reduced Toll On Shipping LONDON, August 14. U-boats are now facing much greater difficulties in carrying out the orders to blockade the Brtish Isles, says the "Frankfurter Zeitung.” “It has become extremely
difficult to detect British convoys because they now take new routes and there are fewer convoys.” The naval correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says that the feeble excuses put out by the enemy to explain Britain’s reduced losses of shipping may be taken as evidence that the Battle of the Atlantic is going against them. It has been officially stated that Üboats are being sunk with increasing frequency.
