Submarine losses to British shipping during the week ending April 17, 1918 were greater than during the previous week. Of the fifteen ships sunk, eleven were over 1,600 tons. One fishing vessel, also, was sunk. The French during the week ending April 13 lost one ship, and the Italians during the week ending April 17, 1918 lost one steamship of more than 1,500 tons and two sailing vessels. Paris has had a week of unusual excitement. The great German long-range gun has continued to fire shells into the city at intervals, and in the bombardment of April 17, 1918 thirteen were killed and forty-five wounded.
