ALL-OUT OFFENSIVE

U-BOAT WARFARE GERMAN INTENTIONS BRITISH SEA LANES (By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) U 1 a.m.) LONDON, April 9. Admiral Doenitz, Chief of the German Naval Staff, has decided to concentrate all possible efforts against Britain, and above all, against her oil-carriers, says the Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail. He intends to do this not only with submarines out an increased number of swift torpedo launches. The German naval spokesman said: “A naval offensive by both undersea and SLiriace craft is Germany's best weapon against two pressing dangers, the first of which is the growing rnythm and strength of the Allied air raids, and the second, which is potential out close at hand, is an AngloSaxon invasion of Europe. There is no doubt that the submarine is the only offensive weapon that Germany can. now use against the Allies, and me greatest possible number of submarines are oeing concentrated along mo sea lanes to Britain.”
