NO AMMUNITION ON BOARD. QUESTION OF ESCORTS. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (R«d. 125 a.m.) LONDON, July 24. Mr. A. Bonar Law stated in the House of Commons that the hospital ship Llandovery Cattle, which was sunk by a submarine, carried no ammunition. Tho German allegation that she was sunk by a British mine was self-contradictory. The survivors had actually communicated with the German submarine. The Admiralty was considering the matter of providing an escort for every hospital ship.
