ish Admiralty notice which specifies
that neutral vessels must obtain per
mission 10 take the uorthabout route
around the British Is.cs for Scandl-
navian countries.
Officials here are unable to under
stand why neutral vessels should be
prohib ited from any Of the navigation
routes lying outside territorial waters.
The German and Austrian embassies
here are very much interested IN the
outcome of the inquiry, because they
believe il affects the rights OF neutral
vessels on the high seas more than
does the German war zone proclama-
tIOn.
In Austro-German quarters here the
now notice is Interpreted as prohloi-
ton Of large part Of the high seas TO
neutral commerce by the laying OF new
British mine fields.
The following portion of the procla-
nation is not understood here:
"3ritish and allied vessels wishing
to use the northabout route should
apply to customs, and neutral vessels
must apply for permission through
their foreign representatives.. and, lall-
ing such. proceed southabout. Sailing
vessels from Atlantic 10 scandinavian
ports pass westward Of iceland and s..
Kilda, thence Farce Islands to destina-
ton. passing northward by fifty miles

Officials here want to know why a
distinction is made between British
vessels and neutral vessels, why 80
mile limit is placed outside the Shet-
land Islands and whether new mines
have been placed there.

Sailings.

Washington, May Is. The publica
ton in The Tribune to-day OF the fact
that 100 cargoes Of foodstuits had
eluded the British blockading squadron
and made their way into Germany
caused much comment here to-day
While officials Of the administration
declined TO talk, persons in close touch
with British affairs declared that the
large increase I'm exports of meat prod
ucts and other foodsturs to the Sean
dina ian countries indicated that the
shipments were not ali for use in coun-
tries to which they were consigned, but
for the use Of Germany.
1t was pointed out that dispatch
from London this morning indicated
that the British government was 60
ing TO exercise more vigorous sur
veillance over cargoes Of foodstuti .
consigned TO the scandinavian coun-
tries. Just how far the British re-
strictions on the shipment Of food

not predicted here to-day. Neverthe-
less. it is believed that the British VIII

it hopes to prevent any more large
supuilcs going into Germany by way Of

learned to-day that the course taken
by the ships carrying the German sup
plies was about $50 mi es north OF the
shetland Islands, and thence down to
NORWAY and Sweden, where the cargo
was transshipped to Germany
Il was said that Great Britain had
cestroycrs stationed about fifty miles
north Of the Shetland Islands to hold
up suspicious cargoes If foods ,uifs, and
that the German agents, knowing TINS,
instructed the captains of the ships To-
keep course fifty or one hundred
miles nearer 10 Iceland. In this way
the blockading squadron was e.uded
and the supplies sent to Germany.

The problem set for the red fleet
was 20 defeat or eludc the blue feet

TRANS have been taken into custory at

blow up the Canadian Northern Rail
way bridge there has been frustrated
BY the arrests.
One of the officers Of the 42d Regi-

who had enlisted as a Russian Pole,
but who it developed was an Austrian.
The man was Swallowed last night TO a
boathouse. where the Austrians were
found and arrested. A quantity Of
dynamite was found in the boathouse.
1t is believed the men expected sew
cral trainloads of troops en- route to
Kingston to pass over the bridge to-
day.
