LONDON, Feb. 11 (Reuter)—å special commentary states that an exaggerated version of a story published in a New York paper on February 9 about damage to the Forth Bridge and British war ves- sels in the early days of the war has been spread by German" pro- paganda in other countries,
The facts are that the Forth. Bridge has not been damaged. The statement that the battle- ships, Hood, Nelson, Renown and Warspite, have been damaged by enemy action is false, as well as the statement that Scapa Flow is closed.
