Germany has no intention of sink

zone around the British Isles-on pur-

recent proclamation in the premises.
But accidents will happen, Germany
is also careful to point out. And the
neutral ships that must sail these
waters will probably enter them with

accident will be just as disastrous to
ship as though the sinking were in
