PACIFIC RAIDERS
Activities May Be Doubled Germans Confident By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright NEW YORK, January 19. Germans in the Far East confidently predict that within a month the activities of German raiders in the South Pacific will be at least doubled, says the Shanghai correspondent of the New York “Times.” The German Ambassador to Tokio called a conference there of all German naval and mercantile marine officers for a discussion, it is believed, on the extension of the raiders’ activitlvities and the replenishment of supplies. It is understood the Germans are pressing the Japanese to allow them a free hand in the use of Japanese ports and naval bases for refuelling and supply. Captains of numerous neutral and Allied ships en route to Shanghai from the South Seas report that they picked up extraordinary radio messages ostensibly between the German raiders and a central broadcasting station, secreted either in Japanese mandated territory or close to it.
