SILENT SUBMARINE
REPORT DISCOUNTED ATTRIBUTED TO PROPAGANDA (Omclal Wireless) (Received July 27, 12.45 p.m.) RUGBY, July 26 The rumours which recently emanated from Italian sources to the effect that the Germans are now using in British waters new types of a midget submarine whose engines are so silent that they cannot be detected by warships, have not impressed authoritative circles in London. They point out that if Germany had a new type of submarine in their possession the last thing they 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, and designed to undermine the faith in the power of the British Navy.
