GERMAN BASES
ESTABLISHED ON SPANISH COAST HANDY TO FRENCH & BRITISH ROUTES. POSSIBLE SUBMARINE MENACE. ’ (Independent Cable Service.) BARCELONA,. December 21. High military quarters report that five military bases have been constructed by Germany on the Spanish coast in the past few months, three of which are on the north coast at Pasajes, Elferrol and Villagarcia. The others are at Seville and Malaga. It is pointed out that the northern bases are 300 miles from Brest, 400 miles from the south-west coast of England and under 700 miles from the Dover-Calais route, so that the smallest type of German submarine would use only 24 per cent of its cruising range to reach the Dover route and return.
