PROBABLY PROPAGANDA
GERMAN STORY OF SILENT SUBMARINE. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 26. Rumours have recently emanated from Italian sources- to the effect that the Germans are now using in British waters a new type of midget submarine whose engines are so silent that they cannot be detected by warships. Authoritative circles in London are not impressed by this rumour. They point out that if Germany had a new type of submarine in its possession the last thing it would do would be to reveal it to the world. The rumour is regarded as yet another variation of the secret weapon type of propaganda, designed to undermine faith in the power of the British Navy.
