DARK OUTLOOK
FOR U-BOAT CREWS DISCOURAGING EFFECT OF HEAVY LOSSES. BOASTS BY LEADERS PROVED WORTHLESS. (British Official Wifeless.) (Received This Day, 10.5 a.m.) RUGBY, December 10.

During the past six months at least 150 U-boats have been sent to the bottom, and 6000 trained personnel drowned or captured. These losses, which cannot be fully concealed, must be discouraging even to the bravest crews, particularly when they find that the new methods and equipment which their leaders boasted about ensure neither greater successes nor greater, imiminity.
