New York, Aug. 6.-With British

Off the American north Atlantic

Foreign vessels which ventured to
leave this port today went forth un-

were unable to interpret the text OF

Each day the number of ships
daring to sail for European shores
has been growing smaller. Today
only three went out-the French
steamship La Lorraine, carrying zoo

other passengers; the Cunard liner
