BLOCKADE ON BRITISH ISLES.
Germany Warns NeutraIs Waters
Around England Are Unsafe.

Around England Are Unsafe.
Berlin, Feb. (by wireless) The
German admiralty issued the following
communication on Thursday:
The waters around Great Britain
and Ireland, including the whole Eng
fish channel, are declared war zone
from and after February IS, 1915.
Every enemy ship found in this
war zone will be destroyed, even if it
is impossible to avert dangers which
threaten the crew and passengers.
"Also neutral ships in the war zone
are in danger. as, in consequence of
the misuse of neutral flags ordered by
the British government January 81,
and in view of the hazards of naval
warfare, it cannot always be avoided
that attacks meant for enemy ships
endanger neutral ships.
Shipping northward, around the
Shetland islands in the eastern basin
of the North sea, and in strip of at
least thirty nautical miles in breadth
along the Dutch coast is endangered
in the same way"
