BRITISH MOTOR-BOATS
SIGHTED NEAR CALAIS GERMANS ADMIT CASUALTIES. PROPAGANDA MINISTRY REPORT. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, August 19.
The Berlin Propaganda Ministry reports that German sentries on the sand dunes near Calais on a stormy night recently saw a shadow on the sea and fired a Verey light revealing two large British motor-boats full of men GO yards from the beach. The Germans opened fire and the British replied with Trench mortars, causing German casualties. A landing was prevented, but it was impossible to determine whether the boats were hit. “Apparently the British were attempting an armed reconnaissance,” said the Ministry spokesman.
