SHIPPING LOSSES
DROP TO LOW FIGURE IN LATEST WEEK. SATISFACTORY TENDENCY. (By Tplegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.20 p.m.) LONDON, October 15. Losses of mercantile shipping as a result of enemy action during the week ended on October 6, which totalled 31,094 tons, were the lowest since May 6 and were just half the average since the outbreak of war. The sudden decrease does not indicate that the Üboats are mastered, but the downward tendency for a second week in succession is considered most satisfactory.
