Blockade of England
Demanded by Germans

BERLIN, via The Hague, Jan. 16.-
Sentiment throughout Germany for an
effective blockade of the English coast
- mines. submarines and other devices,
Including raids on British merchant
men carrying food-stuffs. is increasing.
The suggestions made by Grand Ad-
m'ral Won Tirpitz in his recent inter-
view that submarine warfare against
England's merchant fleet would prove
extremely effective has been taken I'D
In every quarter. This is especially
40. as far as officialdom is concerned.
1T is agreed that as England is plac-
ing every possible emphasis on her plan
TO- starve Germany out, that Germany
Will be we'll within her rights II she
takes aggressive action along similar
lines. The use of the great aerial fleet,
hitherto practically useless. is also sug-
Sested: In this connection Count
Reventlow. discussing the situation in
tho Deutsche Zeitung says:
,We tIa have the means in our posses,
be sin against the German nation and
It's people II these are not soon applied
and CARED out to the fullest energy"
The Cologne Gazette. which is usual
great weight, takes a similar view.> In
It's leading editorial it urges that re-
!entless warfare against everything En-
lish be carried out with submarines and
as lne weapons.
"The British seapower," the editorial
says. 'aims at turning Germany into
4 concentration camp. This Germany
cannot permit. She has the weapons
at her disposal and must use them.
This war must be as frightful as
possible. We must think before all Of
saving our wives and children from
famine. Whether we wish to or not
We must strike hard at England's life
blood. namely. her commercial fleet 1t
would be weakenss for US to abstain
from war on commercial England so
long as England wages war on our
trade. Germany must blockade the
British coast with her mines and her
submarines and must utilize her air
craft In every way possible.
Germany will give notice to all con-
eerrcd when she will spread her mine
fields around England. Then the neu-
tral shipping for which Germany has
always shown remarkable tenderness
will have to take its chance
