HEAVY LOSSES
SUFFERED BY CONVOYS FOR RUSSIA. SOMETIMES FIFTY PER CENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, August 25. Captain Lovett, Director of Public Relations for the Navy Department, revealed that losses in convoys to Russian and Arctic ports sometimes reach 50 per cent, of the supplies. “It is difficult to get guns, ammunition and food supplies to Russia,” he said. “In some convoys, via Murmansk and Archangel, there has been a loss of 50 per cent, of supplies, but we still feel it is worth while if we get the rest through.” He added that the United Stales has not lost a troopship since she entered the war.
