The Allies as a boily have lost 709 vessels, representing 1,730,573 tons. Eng land's share is naturally the heaviest, she has lost 641 ships, or 1,448,699 tons, equal to 6 per cent,, of her entire mer- chant fleet.

But that is not the sole fact which analysis of the statistics brings out. The CO.,ips that the Allies have lost have brought no profit to Germany.
