Sinking of Warships at Dunkirk Dubbed False Paris, May 18.
The German claün that several French warships were sunk by the German air force at Dunkirk was officially denied today in a communique released by the French Admiralty.
The Germans had claimed that one destroyer was sunk, one cruiser, a merchant ship and two destroyers damaged, and a transport so seriously hit that it had to be beached.
"All these claims are false and without foundation," the communique concluded.—Havas.
