War Review Warns of German Submarine Offensive
Secretary Baker’s weekly military review warns Germany is gathering for a major U boat strike on Allied lines to France as part of a broader west front drive. Submarine activity has risen on land sea fronts while merchants losses fell due to subs withdrawing to refit for coming operations. The report notes intensified battles along the North Sea coast and in the Dune area near Ostend, with French and Italian fronts showing renewed combat and shifting Austrian strategy toward the Monte Tomba Piave region.
