North OF North Sea Open.
The German admiralty has declared
that the northern portion Of the North
sea Is free from mines. Consequently
the sailing Of neutral ships along this
route Is not attended by danger. There
Is danger. however. to vessels sailing
thru the southern part Of the North
sea. The correctness Of this the ad-
miralty says Is proved by the news
paper Handelsblad. published In Nor

past few days several neutral ships
have foundered while traversing the
route recommended by the British adj
miralty. ~

lished an article setting forth that the

out q large mine field in the open sea. s
