We will it-and you're here.

entered an intensified phase today
as Britain planned an unrestricted

in reprisal for recent shipping
losses.

4.ll0-ton German freighter Bertha
Fisser off Iceland's coast. stating the
crew started to sink the ship, took
to their boats. and were then picked
up by the warship. A dispatch from
Reykjavik, Iceland, indicated the
German ship may have been shelled
The 6,660-ton Italian freighter
Fianona was added to the list of
mine victims off England's southeast
coast Although she was badly dam
aged by an explosion last night, she
was still afloat today. She was the
18th victim of mine and torpedo
warfare off the British Isles in the
last Ave days.
Tugs were trying to bring the
badly holed Fianona into port today.
None of the crew of 80 was re-
ported injured. 1t was not at once
clear how many, if any, passengers

The Fianona was the second
Italian ship casualty in the Eu-

The new measure calls for seizure of
all German exports on the high seas,
regardless of whether they are in
neutral vessels or German.
A spokesman said the sole aim was
to drive German products off the
seas and thereby shut off foreign
exchange to Germany. He added
that "the ministry of economic war

new measure in a manner not to
work hardship on neutras"
