An idem dated Helsingfors, Finland 23rd referred to the Finnish general staff which reported that on the 19th a British battleship torpedoed the Bolshevik [Russian[ battleship Slava which immediately sunk. Other items just spoke from a British warship.(1)
Note
1. This news item seemed to be not correct. The Slava was of the Borodino-class. Building ordered on 30 January 1900, laid down at the Baltic Shipyard, Saint Petersburg, Russia on 1 November 1902, launched on 29 August 1930, commissioned in October 1905, participated not in the Russo-Japanese war due to late delivery, used as training ship for new officers after 1906, added to the Baltic Fleet after 1910, grounded in the Moon Sound Strait near the island of Muhu while she -being heavily damaged by the German SMS König- could not escape from the German naval forces and sunk by Russian destroyers on 17 October 1917, stricken from the Navy List on 29 May 1918 and broken up by Estonian inhabitants in 1935.
