GERMAN ALARM
OVER BRITISH SILENT SHIPS
USE IN NIGHT LANDINGS. RECENT RAID ON FRENCH COAST. (Received This Day, Noon.) LONDON, August. 21. The Germans'suspect the British of having a new type of ship, for night landings, equipped with a silent engine, says the Stockholm correspondent of the “Daily Express.”
This belief results from a swift and silent raid on the French coast, near Dieppe, on the night of July 26. German witnesses of that raid said sentries heard no sound of motors. The first alarm came when British handgrenades were bursting among the German occupying forces guarding the coast. After some firing, the ships disappeared on a stormy night.
