BRITISH CHANGE
SHIPS FLAG RULE
Vessel with Neutral ColOrs May
Be Taken if Belligerent
Has Interest.

London, Oct. 25.-An Order Of Coun-
ell was gazetted to-day abrogating
from Wednesday last observance OF
Article 81 of the Declaration of Lon
don, which provides that the neutral
or enemy character of a vessel Is
determined by the flag she is entitled
70 fly. In lieu of this article British
prize courts henceforth will apply the
rules and principles formerly observed
by them. The reason given for this
change is that sit is no longer expedi-
ent to adopt said article"
The order was gazetted, according
TO official information, TO arrest large
number of vessels which are trading
under neutral flags, but in reality are
owned wholly or in part by Germans.
The Anglo-American doctrine now ie-
instated by the abrogation of Article
81, considers the nationality of owners
and permits the condemnation Of a
vessel if il is proved a subject Of an
enemy country has an interest in 1t.
By this reversion 20 the old prize law
vessel in which such an enemy sub
ject may have even part interest mey
be condemned and disposed of, either
by the sale of the enemy subjects
share to the neutral co-owners. or
the sale Of the entire vessel and the
appropriation Of the interest OF the
enemy subject.
1t is expected in government circles
that when the order becomes known
the Germans will retalate. Some
British-owned vessels un Ter Scand-
nayian aags, it is said, may be seized
in the Baltic or other dangerous areas,
though most Of these vessels are low
leaving such waters.

FIND SUSPECTED RAIDER
British Agents Discover Zealandia, AL
legged German Rover, at Campeche.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The American
steamer Zealandia, under investigation
by customs authorities on charges that
she had fitted out as German sea
raider when she sailed from Pensacola
on October 7 for Tampico, has been
found by British agents at Campeche
Mexico, with a cargo OF rosin.
The Zealandia was one of several
ships suspected Of preparing TO raid
tam. ships carrying oil from the Mex
ican fields to the British navy ON
cial. here see nothing irregular in the
cargo of rosin, except that there is no
use in Mexico for that commodity,
which is used for making shrapnel and
for smoke burning shells.
The Zealandia is said to have had
the American colors on her hull
painted out and to have hoisted the
German flag while at sea, but the re
port is denied by her owners.

The French sailors retired under
heavy fire. All the way down here they
passed train after train loaded WIN

the German and Austrian arm es.
The resistance Of the Serbians IN

were crashing 10 the ground every mo,

places. The bombardment continued
day and night until Belgrade had been
reduced 10 a mass OF ruins.
The chief duty Of the French marines
was TO hold the Austrian monitors on
the Danube in check, and they were
able 10 do this duty FOR weeks. On
october : the Austrians brought out
the monitors to support the land forces.
The French gunners did wonderful exc
cu,ion. Five minutes after the first
monitor appeared the French had the
range and dropped a shell in her pow
der magazine and blew her up. A few
minutes later a second monitor was
struck. She swung around broadside
to the battery and two shells were
pumped into her In less than twenty
minutes after she first appeared she
was at the bottom Of the Danube.
The third monitor made off when
che saw the fate of the others. Two
French sailors were killed and hye
wounded. For two days and nights
