British Ship Owners Will
Maintain Sailing Dates
~ Cahl, III. 1neun, J

Llyerpoo!. Feb. B. Germanys declar..
alton excited only a small amount OF
comment here to-day. Ship owners
merely repeat that sailings will be con
tinued as usual. This is not SAID IN
any spirit Of bombsst, and the direct
threat 20 torpedo vessels without re-
card 20 the lives of passengers Is not
treated lightly. The view OF ship
owners is that shipping must go on at
whatever risks because il is absolutely
necessary for the welfare Of the ma
ton. Colonel Concanon, OF the White
Star Company, said:
The threat will not alter British
shipping policy in the least. II we
stop our sailings we should be doing
Just what Germany wants, and OBJ
viously we cannot allow any threat 20
make US do that. As 10 sinking
passenger vessels, | doubt whether
even Germany would 60 to that length.
BIZ, whatever they may be prepared 10
do. one thing is unalterable. Il is
vital 10 this country that our ships
should keep the seas. We could not
exist otherwise. We are quite pre-
pared 20 meet this new form OF war
fare. having every confidence IN the
mower Of our navy TO deal with the
situation. From the beginning OF the
war our ships have been afforded the
fullest protection, and while the ut
most precautions will be taken, our
sailings will continue as usual

Copenhagen. Feb Representatives
Of the Berlin press were summoned
TO a meeting with the Imperial Chan
cellor lest night, when the head Of the
Naval Department made a speech eY-
pressing the conviction that the public
and press would unanimously agree to
the policy Of blockade of the English
coast. England be said, since the be
ginning Of hostilities, had carried out
the war on the seas in way which
had no resemblance to historic usage,
and nov Germany's patience was eX-
hausted Germany had at her disposal
all the necessary means TO carry out a
blockade. and those means would be
used with all possible swiftness after
fortnight's respite given 10 neutral
states 10 bring their ships safe TO port.
The German government, he stated,
hoped the neutral states would not
only realize the situation but also agree
70 the blockade decision, as England's
tyranny on the seas of the world would
be destroyed only in this way.
BY the British Admiralty's recently
published and absolutely authentic
secret order that commercial ships
should hy neutral flags" England, he
added, had placed herself outside in
ternational law, while, by a blockade
of the northern part of the North Sea,
she had already assented TO the legitl-
macy of Gormsny's blockade policy.
