BERLIN, Via the Hague, Jan. l6.-
Sentiment throughout Germany for
an Objective blockade OF the English
coast by mines. submarines and other
devices, including raids on British
merchantmen carrying foodstuffs, Is
increasing. The suggestion made by
Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz in his re-
cent interview that submarine war
fare against England's merchant feet
would prove extremely effective has
been taken up in every quarter. This
is especially SO, so far as oiiclaldom
lis concerned. II is agreed that as
England is placing every possible en-
phasis on her plan to starve Germany
out. that Germany will be well within
her rights if she takes aggressive ac1
tion along similar lines. The use OF
the great aerial fleet. hitherto practi-
cally useless, is also suggested In
this connection. Count Reventlow, dis
cussing the situation in the Deutsche
Zeitung. says:
"We have the means in our posses
sion which promise results. 1t would
be a sin against the German nation
and it speople If these are not soon
applied and carried out to the FULLEST
energy"
