which invited him TO stop off to de-

j. 5. CUT OFF
FROM BRITAIN
No Ships Are to Sail from
American Ports to
England.
FIRST TIME SINCE 1872
FIRST TIME SINCE 1872
Postal Authorities Staggered by Tie
up of Mails LAST Vessel
Gets Off Today.

New York, March 5.-For the first time
Aince the war of 1872 the United States
during the coming week will be cut off
from communication by water with
Great Britain. If the two countries were
at war the commercial isolation could
not be more complete.
No American ships will leave any
American port to cross the Atlantic for
more than seven days.
The unprecedented conditions are due
to cessation OF sailings from Europe: to
the diversion of the few Americans ships
to South American and Panama trade
routes: to the Communicating Of British
liners by the admiralty and TO the men,
ace of German submarines in the war
zone.
The American liner New York sails for
Liverpool tomorrow with the mails-the
last sailing for at least week. She will
get away at noon and at night will play
searchlights on her American flag and
on her name painted on either side.
The great bankers and merchants. all
the big firms in trans-ocean trade, were
in furore of excitement today to make
this last mail ship with remittances,
checks. drafts and bills Of exchange.
While other ships are scheduled to sail
Tor BRUSH ports IN ten Gays or so II Is
clear TO the business community that
they may not sail at that time.
Postal Authorities Staggered.
The government postoffice authorities
are staggered and are endeavorinE to
make arrangements With the Scandina-
vian- American line steamer United States
TO sail March II or Copenhagen to stop
at n British port with mails.
In the last four weeks all vessels bound
for Copenhagen have been stopped by
british cruisers and taken into Kirkwall
Scotland where the malls and cargo have
heen searched. So carrying the mails
will not seriously inconvenience this par
ticuiar steamer.
Prior to this, foreseeing some such pre-
dicament. the government has been neEo-
tiatinE with the Ward line for one of its
American steamers as it did in the Vera
Cruz crisis.
Every dock and warehouse in New
York, South Brooklyn. New Jersey. and
Staten Island is crowded with goods
awaiting transportation, and more freight
Is constantly coming from the West
Railroad yards are filled with cars wait
ing to be unloaded.
There are sailings from American ports
10 Rotterdam, to Italian and Scandina-
War ports. and to Germany during the
coming week. The blockade applies TO
Great Britain, but there are also no sail
ings from New York TO France or RUS-
STA.
