the interview have come through from
Berlin. He was promptly relieved of
his office. either because prophesies
of that nature are at last definitely
taboo, owing TO the sad experiences
with the Tirpitzian predictions OF
Starving England in six months" or
because the admiral revealed a plan
which the German naval stan may he

U-boat fleet against the British navy
in a desperate gamble to break the
blockade. Admiral Won Scheer has
