R.A.F. OFFENSIVE
STEADILY GROWING CHANGED ROLES WITH NAZIS GERMANY CONSERV]XG PETROL SUPPLIES London, Jan. 14 Royal Air Force day and night attacks have not been relaxed. Despite the bad weather, they appear to be increasingly more systematic than Germany's raids. Well-informed persons now believe that the Bomber Command's offensive, and not merely the -weather, is restricting the, Luftwaffe's regular raids. Germany is finding it necessary to conserve supplies for some time previous to any large-scale attacks.
The Berlin newspaper, “Borsen Zeitung,” Violently attacks the Swedish Press for publishing London correspondents’ views about the Royal Air Force changing roles with the Luftwaffe as an attacking force. It is authoritatively stated in Berlin that Germany has acquired all the warehouses in Bohemia and Moravia for the storage of tinned foods and rye against Royal Air Force raids.
Swedish sailors report that Royal Air Force bombing has completely blocked the Kiel Canal, says the Exchange Telegraph Company’s correspondent at Gdtherburg. A direct hit brought down a bridge. The steamer Isa was sunk across the canal.
