A largo flotilla of German destroyers and lmge submarines, is reported to be in the Sound, heading southwards. There have never been so many German warships seen in at one time. Four destroyers narrowly escaped running ashore at Dimhamm. [The Sound is the navigation passage from the Raltic Sea to the Cattegat and North Sea between the island of Zealand (Denmark) and the main land of Sweden. The Great Belt and Little Belt (beween Danish islands) are alternative navigation passages to reach the North Sea would be more direct routes, for the German Iflaat -sailing from Kiel Bay. The report that the ships are heading southward would indicate the return to the Baltic Sea, and on this assumption tho fleet may be enjoying a naval cruise to keep the crewi* employed and in training.] 1
