ITALIAN ADMIRAL VALE
SAYS BOATS UNFRAMED

ROME, July 22--Admiral Vale in" a
wireless report ON the raid of the
pardanelles by Italian warships says
"on the night July 1919 the torpedo
boats Spica, Centauro.. Astore, Climeno
and Persee crept unseen through the
opening to the Dardanelles, but were dis
covered before they had progressed far
inside. Dozens of searchlights flashed on
the torpedo boats and the Turkish forts
opened a hot fire. The .flotilla, however,
continued to steam on at the. rate OF
twenty-one knots in close formation,
hugging the European shore. When they
reached Kilid Bahr. the Spica, which
was leading. ran into steel cable. 1t
disengaged itself. hut soon ran into an
other maze of cables. The searchlights
then became so dazzling that it was i'm.
possible to steer its course and Com
mandant Milo decided to retire. This
was effected in perfect order. The
torpedo boats suffered only slight dam
age. "
