THE CHANNEL RAIDS
STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF » COMMONS (Rec. February 21, 0.55..a.m.) London,' February 21'. In the House of Commons, in reply to a question, Dr. Macnamara (Secretary to the Admiralty), said that it was not desirable to give information concerning the recent German raid in the Channel. The contention that German raiders and submarines could" operate successfully in the Channel and Straits of Dover was entirely unjustified by the facts. No matter how completely wo controlled the lea, we could not always prevent such attacks on a' dark night. The Admiralty had every reason to be satisfied with the' results that had been achieved during recent weeks by the admiral commanding at Dover.—Renter. FRENCH TRANSPORT TORPEDOED 110 LIVES LOST. (Rec. February 21, 0.55 a.m.). London, February 21. A French transport has been torpedoed in tho Mediterranean. The number of lives lost was 110.—United Service.
