Show oo FLEET MUST GE1 OUTOFHARBORS London, Dec. 24. A correspondent who has just arrived from Germany says that in Lubeck the talk of the town, as in most of the towns along the coast, is chiefly about the navy and its work and how they have made up their mind to destroy the English fleet. "Everybody seems to think that it would be easy for the German army to land on the east coast of England. They place much hope in the air fleet, which, they say, is going to bring destruction and cause immense panic among the English sailors, soldiers sol-diers and the civil population. "Disappointment with the German fleet ha$ grown much during tho last two months. In the coast towns especially es-pecially there is a strong feeling beginning be-ginning to appear against keeping the fleet within strongly fortified harbors without trying to engage the enemy on a much larger scale. "This accounts in a groat degree for the recent senseless attack upon the English coast." |
