TO the DAILY News" from Berlin, Mr.. Rut-
ledge Rutherford, says: Germany has de-
cided to declare u blockade against England,
effective on January 1st next. For this pur-
pose q powerful feet of submarines is
beng completed, and plans are being
worked ont to make the blockade a stringent
one. The movements Of the submarines, it
is said, will be guided to some extent 10y Ger
many's high flying Zeppelins. The submarines
and Zeppelins will be equipped with extra SEN
sltive wireless apparatus. One high in the
councils of the German naval administration,
says: "By the end of the year and perhaps
a little sooner, Germany will have 800 sub
marines OF the most efficient type, and no
vessel carrying food or munitions will be per-
mitted to reach England. Ours will be o.
real blockade, not q c%Oercive, illegitimate one,
such as England pretended to institute against
Germany. No conjunction will be felt re-
gardiDg the revival of submarine warfare,
because it is felt that England's abrogation
of the Declaration of London has left Ger
many free Of restraint in the matter of her
promise to America. Mr.. Walter Forstmann,
Germany's most skilled submarinist, is on
the programme to command the squadron of
submarines. He recently received the Order of
Merit for sinking more than a hundred vessels.
which included transports, patrol vessels and
merchantmen. The return of the submarine
Deutschland" from the United States has
encouraged further underseas efforts. Many
new submarines will be equipped with inn
proved devices, one of which will enable
submarine commanders to detect and das-
troy nets which England has laid and will
lay in great numbers. Mystery enshrouds
the whereabouts of the submarine Bremen.
That she has suffered damage to her engines,
OR that she has been sunk by a British des-
troyer, is denied by naval authorities here.
The Bremen" should have reached Balti-
more, however, before the Deutschland
started on her return trip.
