Churchill Announces to

London.—“ Apart from the loss of
the small Britisn cruiser Amphion

ed.
“On Wednesday a flotilla of tor

found the Koenigin Luise laying
mines. The destroyer pursued her
and sank her About 50 of her crew,
which probably numbered 120 or 130

crews of the British destroyer. The
Amphion continued to scout wfth the

ney was blown up by a mine.

“The indiscriminate use of mines
not in connection with military har
bors or strategic positions and the
nate scattering of contact
mines about the seas might of course
destroy not only warships but peace
ful merchant vessels under a neutral
flag and possibly carrying supplies
to a neutral country.
“This use of mines is new in war-i
fare and deserves the attentive con-f
sideration not only of those of us
who are engaged ,'n war but of na
