ATTEMPT ON BRITAIN’S LIFELINE

ALL-OUT MEDITERRANEAN WAR WHAT GERMANY HAS BEEN PREPARING. NEW YORK, Feb. 24. Arthur Krock, chief Washington correspondent of the New York Times, states that Germany’s spring plan, according to the best military opinion in Washington, is not an allout attack on Britain, but a vast Mediterranean campaign. “The expectation in military circles is a decisive war phase, both grim and bloody,” he says, "These experts, scouting all rumours of a possible Italo-British peace in the meantime, interpret the resent German inactivity as meaning intensive reparation for an assault on Britain's Imperial lifeline in the Mediterranean and not a lull before an attempt to invade the British Isles.”
