SUBMARINE TOLL FOR LAST WEEK IS NEAR RECORD Loss to British is Heavy Navy Men Are Not Discouraged. LONDON, June 21. The weekly list of British losses In torpedoed ships, which was issued Wednesday, showed the highest total or fmany weeks, the number of ships sunk being comparable to the worst week since the ruthless U-boat campaign began. The returns week by week for the last three months show that the Uboat activities run in waves and it is assumed that this week is the crest of a period of 6uper activity noticed the previous week. The last week includes one day which is regarded as a record for the number of Vessels lost. The situation, however, is not regarded over pessimistically by naval men who insist that' the admiralty methods of fighting the submarines are constantly growing in effect. In support of this they point to the constantly Increasing number of boats which escape the submarines. The Oermans
are resorting to every possible meth-'
oa oi circumventing tne patrols and the submarines frequently change the scene of their operations.

PETROGRAD. June 21. The "com
mand of death," which is the official title of the women's regiment raised by the twice-wounded girl officer.
Vera Buitchkereff, was reviewed today
by Minister of War Kerensky. The regiment will have its first public parade on Sunday and will leave in a fortnight for the front, probably for the Minsk sector. The Associated Press correspondent
who visited the barracks In Torgvaya
street found posted at the gate a little blue-eyed sentry in a soldiers khaki blouse, short breeches, green forage cap, ordinary women's black stockings and neat shoes. The sentry was Myra Skrydloff, daughter of Admiral Skrydlo6s, former commander of the Baltic flee and minister of marine. Inside there were four large dormitories, the beds without bedding and strewn with heavy soldiers overcoats. Many of 'Em Pretty. In the court yard 300 girls were at drill, mostly between 18 and 25, years of age, of good physique and many of them pretty. They wore their hair short or had their heads entirely shaved. They were drilling under the instruction of a male sergeant of the Volynsky regiment and marched to an exaggerated goose step. Commander Lieutenant Buitchkereff explained that most of the recruits were from the higher educational academies or secondary schools with a few peasants, factory girls and servants. Some married women were accepted but none , who had children. The girl commander said: "We apply, the rigid system of discipline of the pre-revolutionary army, rejected the new principle of soldier self government. Having no time to Inure the girls gradually to hardships we Impose a Spartan regime from the first. They sleep on boards with bedclothes, thus Immediately eliminating the weak. The smallest breach of discipline is punished by expulsion in disgrace. Eat Soldiers' Food. "The ordinary soldiers food is furnished by the guards' equipage corps.
We rise at four and drill daily fronrt
7 to 11 and again from 1 to 6. The girls carry the cavalry carbine which I is five pounds lighter than the regualr I
army rifle. On our first parade I requested any girl whose motives were frivolous to step out. Only one did so but later many who were unable to stand the privations left us. "We are fully official, and already
entered on the list of regiments
Uniforms and supplies are received
from the ministry of war to which we
render account and. present reports
Yesterdav the commander of the
Petrograd military district reviewed us and expressed his satisfaction. I am
convinced that we will excel the male fighters." -
Asked as to the attitude of the male
army, Commander Buitchkereff said
that only t the Volynaky regiment
which led the Petrograd revolution, was really favorable.
The regimental clerk is Madame
Barbara Rukovishikoff, editor of the weekly Woman and Economy and author of some admirable short stories.
She said that Mme, Kerensky, Intended to join the regiment not as a soldier
but as a Sister of Mercy. .--
