MR. ALEXANDER’S REVELATIONS
LONDON. June 12. | “Following the fall of France, Britain was nearer defeat than our enemies are now,” said Mr. Alexander, in a speech. “When I took over at the Admiralty, Britain had only three corvettes and ninety destroyers working, and seventy corvettes and eighty destroyers in dock.” U-BOAT CLAIMS LONDON, June 12. The Berlin radio, quoting the “Voelkischer Beobachter,” stated: — “The enemy’s attempt to overcome the U-boat menace has thus far been successfully checked. The training of the U-boat crews is no less thorough to-day than it was at the beginning of the war. The organisation of the construction of U-boats has been sufficiently elastic to permit of technical innovations, as the result of enemy tactics or of an improvement of devices against the U-boats.
