Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 169, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 August 1917 — Submarine Toll Not So Large. [ARTICLE]

Submarine Toll Not So Large.

For the week just past it is reported that eighteen vessels of over 1,600 tons and three of less than this tonnage were sunk by submarines. This is a falling off of three large vessels from last week’s report. It would be far more satisfactory if instead of giving the number of ships destroyed the actual number of tons sunk was reported.
