FACTS EMPHASISED

ANTICIPATION OF ITALIAN MENDACITY COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF’S REPORT. NO CASUALTIES AMONG BRITISH SHIPS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) LONDON, July 10. An Admiralty communique states: “As announced earlier today, an action, which quickly developed into a chase of Italian ships, occurred between British and Italian naval forces in the Mediterranean. In the absence of information to the contrary, it must be assumed that Italian naval forces—at least one heavy unit of which had suffered damage—have gained the shelter of their shore defences. Further details of the engagement have not yet been received, but, in view of the mendacious reports often circulated by the enemy, the Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean has signalled that there were no casualties among the British ships engaged yesterday.”
