BRITISH FLEET IN WAR.
MOVEMENTS KNOWN. A GERMAN CLAIM. BERLIN, Wednesday. In reply to the statements of Sir Alfred Ewing concerning the success of the British Admiralty’s secret “Room 40,” which was devoted in wartime to intercepting and decoding enemy wireless messages, it is claimed here that the movements of British warships during tho war were known in time for tlic German Navy to act on the information. All British ciphers were decoded, ho matter how often the key was changed. Operations were conducted with the greatest secrecy- at a wireless station in the heart of a lonely moor by an authority who is not named, but who is described as one of the translators of the piclced-up messages.
