PLUG GREATEST PCWEIGL10 German Hatred Will Be Vented Against "Tight Little Isle." BERXE, March 17. A neutral correspondent corre-spondent -writes to the Solothurner Zel-tung: Zel-tung: On a recent business trip through Germany I had occasion to observe the bitter hatred of the entire German Ger-man nation against England. This hatred has become almost ,an obsession obses-sion since the peace proposal of the central powers were rejected by the allies. "We will make the British pay for this," is the slogan everywhere. From what I saw and heard I am convinced that a fierce blow against England Is being prepared and may fall within a short time. I had business busi-ness to transact In Hamburg and Bremen, but was not permitted to visit these two cities. All foreigners are kept away from the seaport towns, where thousands of men are working day and night on an enormous enor-mous fleet of giant new submarines. While the shipbuilding yards turn out dozens of U-boats, the Zeppelin works in Friodrlchaha fen and other parts of the empire and the Schuette-Lanz Schuette-Lanz works in Mannheim are building a monster ah- fleet. From a reliable source I was Informed that more than 150 air cruisers are already completed. They are to be used in the greatest attack on England. The German military authorities expect to lose a number of their Zeppelins when they carry out their plans, but are confident that the remaining re-maining ones will do damage enough to throw terror Into the hearts of the British nation. Every new German submarine can be manned as quickly as it Is finished, as the crews are always trained beforehand. be-forehand. This Is done In the bay of Kiel, where often thirty submarines of the latest construction can be seen maneuvering at the same time. The latest U-boats are small-sized cruisers. They carry many guns and have a far greater speed than the older vessels of this type. Their radiua of action Is enormous. Most of them can stay on the high seas seventy days and even longer. The nets used by the British navy to trap them will In the future be useless, because the new submarines have a eiokle-ltke bow wrhich is as sharp as a knife and outs a thick steel cable as If it were made of hemp.
