1t is believed here. from facts which
have come TO light in reports from

ordered the death of sailors, because
the more the available supply of sailors
is reduced the more difficult it becomes
TO operate ships.

Germans went after; then it was tom

Germans Say They Sank
2 Ships in Channel Fight

London, April % (9:13 p. MA
German official statement describing
the recent naval raids in the English
Channel says British outpost vessel
off Dover was destroyed, that British
scouting vessel was sunk by torpedo
and that several others were heavily
damaged and one probably sunk.
The German statement also says that
as no enemy warships were encoun-
tered south of the Thames the German
destroyers had to be content with
bringing in some prisoners from mer-
chantmen. The Germans admit the
loss of two Of their destroyers.
With respect to this statement the
British Admiralty says that no British
vessels Of any sort we're sunk or even
serious damaged. and that the Ger
mans captured only three men of an
abandoned barge.

London. April 22.--German wounded
will henceforth suffer with the British
in any torpcdoing of hospital ships by
U-boats. it was announced tonight. "A
certain proportion" will be carried
along with the British invalids. More
over. hospital ships will no longer bear
any distinguishing marks, since these
have simply made them shining targets.
The following statement, reviewing
the German outrages against hospital
ships and detailing the British meas
ures, was issued to-night:
"The illegal and inhuman submarine
warfare which Germany has waged
upon merchant shipping has for some
time been openly adopted against hos
pital ships flying the Red Cross nag
and otherwise acting in complete con-
formity with the requirements OF The
Hague convention. This elimination
of savagery has brought the Worlu
face TO face with situation that Is
without parallel in civilized warfare
II has no justification in any conce'Na-
bic distortion Of international law nor
IN the most brutal creed OF necessary O.

cring fully the measures 10 be adopted

Wow the entire facts on which the neL
man government claims to have acteo.

ish embassies for transmission TO the
British and French governme Is,
claiming that Allied hospital SHIPS,
and particularly those of Great BRIT

troops and military supplies, and Je-
clarcd that no hospital ship would be
tolerated in the zone between the
lines connecting Marlborough Head
and Terschelling. on the one side, and
Ushant (Ouessant) and Lands End, on
the other
On January 81 the British Foreign
Office denied that hospital ships were
being used contrary TO the Hague
Convention. and requested the Ameri-
can government 10 inform Germany
that. if the threat was carried out not
to tolerate hospital ships in the zone
specified by them, immediate reprl-
sails would follow. Despite the Brit
ish denial Of the German claims, and
the threat of reprisals, the British
hospital ship Asturias was torpedoed
without warning on March 20. the loss
of life including a nursing Sister and
stewardess.
