The average German forget.s that commerce is at a standstill, and still expresses unshaken faith m the German fleet. Great hope is set on the combined action of battleships, submarines, and airships. It is believed a con- j •test will soon occur m an attempt to ' destroy the British fleet, which is supposed to be hiding m terror on the West Coast of Ireland.
