London, June 5-The admiralty to

week reached total of one hundred
and thirteen thousand tons, or nearly
the same as the British losses, but
eighty thousand more tons than the
German admiralty admits.
The British claim that the Germans

stroyers and one submarine, the loss
Of which Germany has not admitted.
Vessels arriving from Copenhagen

that the Warsprite came back damag-
