Steamship Sinks and U Boat Crew Woes Reported
A Bremen bound steamship carrying iron ore went to the bottom amid heightened anti submarine danger. The German admiralty struggles to man U boats as crews fear voyages. Treble pay and ample provisions lure sailors, yet several U boats have sunk on first trips. British shipbuilding shows brighter prospects with last month producing 169,000 tons and potential growth to 200,000 by June and 250,000 by summer.
