(Received 3 p.m.) LONDON, February 19. A Copenhagen message says that despite the paper shortage, several extra pages are allotted in German newspapers for the Altmarck story. The Press continues to use violent language against Britain. Conferences continu at the Chancellory with the heads of the armed forces. The Altmarck's first officer alleges that prisoners and members of the boarding party stabbed and tore pictures of Hitler in the mess rooms. The captain denies reports of ill treatment, and declares that many of the prisoners thanked him before leaving. German and foreign journalists have gone to- Norway by air, to attend the funeral of the members of the crew of the Altmarck and also to interview the rest of the crew.
