UNITED STATES CONCERN
ST. LAWRENCE RIVER SINKINGS Ottawa, ?4ay 14. Fourteen of the crew are dead and 74 survivors were rescued from two torpedoed freighters in the St, Lawrence River. The New York Times said that officials in Washington are greatly concerned over these sinkings. They expect that shortly there will be an intensified U-boat campaign against American shipping in the Atlantic particularly with a view to cutting the Russian supply lines. Recent information indicates that German submarines in the Atlantic have a cruising range of more than 15,000 miles and are capable of two months’ cruising.
