ITALIAN CRUISER HIT
Submarines Active LONDON, August 31. An Admiralty communique reports further operations by British submarines in the Mediterranean. A week ago an attack was made on a squadron of three Italian cruisers escorted by destroyers and planes. A torpedo fired at a cruiser caused a big explosion, but a violent counter-attack prevented the submarine commander from ascertaining the results. The communique also says that two enemy supply ships and two schooners were sunk. Hits were also registered on a liner and an Italian tanker.
