U. S. SEEKS INFORMATION.
Trying to Place Responsibility fol
Mining of North Sea.

An effort is being made by the United
States government to ascertain official
Ily who is responsible for the placing
of mines in the North sea. This is one
result of representations made to the
State Department by the governments
of Denmark, Holland, Sweden and
Norway that their maritime commerce
with the United States had been
paralyzed by the placing of mines out
side of territorial waters in violation
Of The Hague treaties.
The United States was asked to join
with these governments in an effort to
have the warning, European powers
abate this danger to navigation.
Counselor Lansing inquired of the
British ambassador along these lines,
but the ambassador said he did not
have the information. Later came no.
tice from the American ambassador
at Petrograd confirming the press re-
ports that the Russian government had
placed mines in the zone from 5s. so
north latitude and to the eastward of
the twenty-first meridian; also at the
entrance of the Gulf of Riga and
around the Aland Islands. This closed
the entrance and exit of the Finnish

severely from the losses caused up to
the present time by German ships. wv e
