fighting and no losses of any kind other than had already
been officially made public. Mr, Churchill said: "Apart
from the loss of the small British cruiser Amphion and
the German mine layer Koenigen Luise, there has been no
other less as far as we are aware.
“On Wednesday a flotilla of torpedo boat destroy-
crs while patrolling the upper reaches of the Channel
found the Koenigen Luise laying mines. The destroy-
ers pursued and sank her. About fifty of her crew, which
probably numbered Izo‘or 130 men, were humanely sav-
ed by the crews of the British destroyers. -

and while on the return journey was blown 11p by a

“The indiscriminate use of mines not in connection
with military harbors or strategic positions and the in—
discriminatescattering of contact mines about the seas
might of course, destroy not only warships but, péaceful
merchant lessels under a neutral flag and possibly carry-
ing supplies to a neutral country.
“This use of mtines is new in warfare and deserves .
the attentile consideration not only of those of us 11110

world.
