Berlin in December and January

The official also declared hits
were made on a "very important”
railway Junction, causing "consid-
erable dislocation.”
He said the Berlin police presi-
dency and law courts were dam-
aged, the top floors of the widely
known Wertheim department stores
were burned out and minor dam-
age also was done to a number of
important industrial plants.
The heaviest damage during the
two months, the official said, was
at Mannheim where the main
docks were hit. several barges
sunk, traffic blocked, several «engi-

—Sumner Welles, acting sec-

administration officials were
studying all aspects of the
situation created by Ger-
many’s extension of counter-
blockade operations to with-
ing three miles of Greenland
and thus to the threshold of
the western hemisphere.
Pending this study, he declined
to say what steps might be taken
or whether the European combat
zone might be extended to Iceland,
now within the German blockade
area, and thus exclude American
shipping from that former Danish
colony.
Tlie neutrality zone patroled by
American warships now extends
only to a point a short distance east
of Halifax. Nova Scotia.
The proximity of the new dead-
line to Greenland attracted imme-
diate attention here, because auth-
orities have made It known on sev-
eral occasions that Greenland is
considered a part of the hemisphere
and. as such, covered by the Mon-
roe Doctrine.
