GERMANY'S FLEET
MAY GIVE BATTLE
I
LONDON, Jan. 22. England is
.preparing herself for an attack
from German superdreaduaughts,
which are said to be armed with 17
inch guns and which are capable of
throwing a shell weighing a ton, a
distance of 20 miles. ' .
The naval critic of the London
News reports that the Teutons are
arming several new battleships with
this formidable weapon, which are
believed to be the same kind of a
gun which they used in the bombard
ment of Dunkirk months ago. I
The critic stated that the new gun
outclasses anything now in use in
the British navy, and for this reason
the Germans niayTisk a sortie from
their naval base in the Keil canal
and challenge England's fleet.
The newspapers are filled with re
ports of a new German battle plane
called '"Fokkar," which destroyed 16
British bl-planes during the past few
months.
One paper Is convinced that sev
eral of these "Fokkars" will accom
pany the next Zeppelin raid over
London.
