IN KEEPING BRITISH PORTS CLEAR [British Official Wireless] (Received 6th December, 12.10 p.m.) , RUGBY, sth December. Announcing the loss of four trawlers and one drifter an Admiralty communique adds: “Communiques issued by the German High Command lay continual stress upon the mining of British ports. These ports and their approaches are kept clear of mines from day to day by the tenacity, courage and devotion to duty of our minesweeping forces. The enemy is using all manner of devices to prevent and hinder the sweeping of these mines. Although the success of these devices has been limited and is likely to decrease they have imposed losses on our minesweeping forces.”
