London, Nov. 29.
The German Radio, it is pointed out, first claimed that the "cruiser" was a destroyer, then changed its mind and said it was a cruiser that was sent down, The Admiralty has denied the truth of the whole claim. British naval circles asserted the series of reports was nothing more than a manœuvre to try and find out, through an official British denial, where the "sunk" cruiser was to be found. The same tactics were used over the Ark Royal when Berlin wished to find out that ship's position, they pointed out.—Havas.
