The Admiralty have announeed that one of our submarines oper-

ating off the Danish coast "claims to have hit two Dreadnought battleships of the Raiser class." It is not known what damage was inflicted. The evidence grows from experience that the newer types of battleship can generally manage to keep afloat after being torpedoed. In any case it was a-fine performance, and we heartily congratulate the gallant Lieutenant in command and his gallant crew.
