Inquiries by The Associated Press at the foreign office today developed the statement that the totals overseas exports of Germany, now only from four to six per cent of those of normal years, goes exclusively through the mail, with the exception of exports shipped to the United States under license granted cargoes purchased before March 1, 1915. In explanation of this Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade. said that any other leakage must be

 It was necessary to bring the mails to London for thorough examination, The Assocated Press was told at the foreign office. The assertion that let ters seized aboard liners taken into kirkwal were used as evidence before the prize court was not formally de- nied, but the authorities were incredu- lous concerning the charge. They said the author of the charges must refer to letters seized either in transit in England or aboard neutral vessels which voluntarily call at British ports.

RICHMOND, Va, April 7.-Counsel for the former British owners of the German prize ship Appam scored q point in their libel proceeding teddy when Federal Judge Waddill ordered a survey of the vessel to determine whether she is seaworthy and directed Lielt Berg, the prize commander, to inform the court what supplies he had taken aboard the Appam front the time of her capture until she reached Hampton Roads. The former owners are trying to prove that the German officer violated the neutrality of the United States and forfeited his right to possession of the ship by remaining in American waters longer i than was required to make his vessel seaWorthv and to take on necessary supplies. and by having failed to head 1 for a neutral port immediately after 1 the capture.
