(United Service.)
April 23, 7.30 p.m.) London, April 22. The hospital ship La France was sunk.
•There was serious, loss of life, including Gerriian wounded.
One of the hospital ships recently torpedoed at eight o'clock at night carried wounded Germans captured in the recent British advance, including a party of officers, some of high rank.
The only panic was due to the anxiety of the Germans to save their own skins. They believed that their own submarines would save them. When the rescue ships appeared they thought them to be Germans, and shouted loudly to bring their countrymen quickly to
their rescue.
