Since last Friday marine rates on car
Coos shipped to the Far East have risen
between 20 per cent and 30 per cent. ac-

suggests closing North Sen.

LONDON, oct 29--Another steamer has
been sunk Off Malin Head, on the north
coast OF Ireland. according to word
brought to Fleetwood last night by a
trawler.
The Times, In an editorial discussing
IA" presence Of mines off the north coast
of Ireland, suggests that they may have
been dropped by North Sea trawlers fly-
ing a neutral flag and adds:
THE Germans have so flaRrantly vio-
lated the preccpts OF International law
that the only safe precautlon seems to
be to close tho North Sea to all neutral
maritime trafr'c in order to prevent any
further dangerous abuse Of neutral nags
We do not at present advocate this ex-
treme measure. but II IL for the authori-
ties and above all, for the Admiralty.

practicable and desirable"
