RUSSIA AND BRITAIN.
INCIDENTS IN 1919. SOVIET ALLEGATIONS. REFUTED BY ADMIRALTY (By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) LONDON, Aug. 18. The Moscow correspondent of the Daily News says Muklcvitch, the chief of the Soviet naval forces, declares that Britain, without a declaration of war, attacked the Soviet in 1919, sank four ships, and bombarded the forts in an attempt to destroy the revolution. He claims that the Russians sank 13 British warships, including the cruiser Cassandra. The Admiralty has issued a statement saying the submarine L. 55, which has been raised by the Russians near Kronstadt, and two destroyers were the only warships lost in the Baltic in 1919. The Admiralty lias suggested that a British warship should bring the remains of the crew of the L. 55 hack to England, but the Soviet has not replied.
