Berlin. May 23.
The German U-boat fleet suffered its heaviest blow in the war thus fat in the loss of Commander Gunther Prien Germany's "Hero of Scapa Flow." which was announced in today's High Command communique.
His loss follows close on the heels of the loss of two other of Germany's leading U-boat commander, Kretschmer and Schpke. The High Command admitted their loss a few weeks ago. The High Command announced that the submarine commanded by Commander Prien had failed to return from its last operation against British hipping and therefore must be considered as lost.—United Press.
Neither the High Commissioner, General Dentz nor General Fougére, who is the general officer commanding the troops in Syria, are held in high esteem by the army, a large part of which is said to be openly pro-De Gaulle—Reuter.
