Grand Admiral von Tirpitz made three speeches on December 18th in Berlin, in the course of which he repudiated the idea of a conciliatory peace

Referring to the construction of n Channel tunnel, he declared:--“To be completely guaranteed we should have to retain Flanders, Antwerp, Ostend, and Zeebrugge, and also take Calals and: Boulogne. We shall never, give up Flanders
