GERMAN MUNITIONS ADMIRALTY SEEKS REPORT HEAVY AMERICAN LOSSES (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Aug. 7, 3 p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 6. The Admiralty has called for a report from the British consul on the bombing of the British Corporal when off Algiers. Captain J. H. Bovill said the planes looked like Italian Capronis, Splinters collected from the deck after the arrival of the ship at Algiers, allegedly show that the bombs were of German manufacture. The planes dropped 40 aerial torpedoes. The concussions put the ship's wireless out of action. A message from Madrid states that the shelling of the city damaged the Papal Legation and killed the secretary. A captured American student at Salamanca declares that 300 Americans of the International Brigade have been killed in Madrid since April. The Times' Lisbon correspondent says that the Natonalist thrust on the Teruel sector resulted in an advance of 12 miles on a 15 miles front. Two thousand Government troops surrendered owing to shortage of rations.
