SINKING OF THE REWA
UNQUESTIONABLY TORPEDOED. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, Jannary 18. The naval authorities are satisfied beyond doubt that the sinking of the hospital ship Rewa in the Bristol Channel was due to a torpedo. THE GERMAN ALLEGATION. BASED ON A LIE. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association and Renter. LONDON, January 18. The Admiralty reports: A German wireless message states that " the English themselves, according to the Daily Chronicle of December 11, admit that hospital ships are used for the transport of troops."
This so-called admission (comments the Admiralty) was a- deliberate, false statement by Miss Ethel Marsh, for which she was sentenced at Portsmouth to a month's imsprisonmenJ. The British public should know the grcmnds on which the German war on wounded is admittedly based.
