ENGLAND PROTESTS
MINES ON HIGH SEA.

Washington Oct. 24.-The British
embassy Thursday made public
copy of a communication made by

fifty miles from the English coast
and since the beginning of the war
eight neutral and seven British mer-
chant and fishing vessels have been
destroyed by the mines. The loss of
some sixty lives of neutral and nom
combatant persons is further al
legged.
