ADMIRALTY STATEMENT
Rec. 12.30 p.m; LONDON, July 23. The Admiralty has issued a statement on the way German raiders treated captured ships, which indicates that Germany is suffering from a shortage of metals, especially brass. A raider took from one ship the engine packing brass, in addition to ordinary stores. Before another ship was sunk it was stripped of all brasswork and fittings, including the brass casings, porthole frames and cooking utensils.
