LONDON, Jan. 18 (Reuter). German news bulletin published in Tokyo bonsted that German aircraft recently "annihilated" two Danish steamers, the Feddy and the Ivan Kondrup, in the North Sea.
This is a typical instance not only of the German nt- tempts to bully neutrals by deliberate violations of inter- national law, but also of their deliberate evasion of the truth, na proved by the Germann Trans-Ocran" news service which, on January 10, quoted a British Admiralty statement that the two ships alleged to be annihilated were still afloat and were being towed to port.

It is interesting to note that London news- papers earlier this week reported the discovery of a gigantic German plot to sabotage Britain's essential services.
Railwaymen throughout the country were warned to be on the lookout for suspicious characters.

People in London gazed skywards, seeking German raiders, when they heard the explosions.
Two men with bandaged hands and three others were being ...carried away on stretchers when
reporters arrived on the scene.
Large quantities of debris were thrown a considerable distance and windows for miles around were shat-- tered.
