SHIPPING LOSSES DROP London, July 16?Britain drew encouragement yesterday from the announcement of a sharp curtailment in shipping losses and set this down as concrete indication that the tide was turning in the battle of the Atlantic chiefly as a result of increased air and surface sea power. The loss of British, allied and neutral vessels for the month of June was placed at 79 ships with gross tonnage of 329,296. This represented a decrease of 20 ships and 168,551 tons from the May figures, and, added to the turned-tide effect of the continuing aerial assault on the continent, the victory in Syria and the Russian resistance, gave Britons their greatest satisfaction in months.
