Though it is not confirmed officially, telephone messages from the Continent quote well-informed shipping circles as the authority for a report that the German pocketbattleship Deutschland has been sunk in the South Atlantic by an Allied squadron. It is reported that after severe shelling by a British warship the Deutschland was making off with superior speed when a second British warship came up and successfully attacked with a torpedo and shellfire. The Allied squadron is reported to have consisted of a British aircraft carrier, battle cruiser, and cruiser, and a French battle cruiser. , It is believed there might be a connection between the reported sinking of the Deutschland and the scuttling of the German liner Adolph Woermann.
