Denies

LONDON.

29:
(CP)-
The
British
Admiralty
branded
as
a
falsehood"
the
German
claim
that
a
heavy
cruiser
of
the
London
class
had
been
attacked
by
a
Oerman
submarine
off
the
Shetland
Islands
and
sunk
by
torpedoes.
It
was
described
by
the
British
as
simply
another
clumsy
attempt
on
the
part
of
the
Ocrmans
to
obtain
Information
about
the
whereabouts
of
British
war
vessels.
The
London
cruiser
class
consists
of
the
London.

Sussex
and
Devonshire.
Their

and

and
1928
they

long
with

and

armament

and
three

guns
with
eight

tubes.
Their
tonnage
Is

A
German
communique
had
stated
that
the
cruiser
had
been
sunk
by
the
same
31-year-old
submarine
commander
who
was
responsible
for
sinking
of

The
