New York, Jan. 4.-Passengers ar
irving here on the Holland American
line steamer Nieuwe Amsterdam say
that German mines containing excep-
tionally high explosives have beeIf
planted close to all the large harbors
in England, Scotland and Wales.

Trawler Blown Up.
Upon it's arrival off the harbor of
Falmouth, England, from Rotterdam,
a British trawler was sent out of Fal-
mouth to sweep the Channel for the en-
trance of the Dutch steamship. The
trawler struck a mine and was blown
to bits, seven of her crew of twelve
men being killed. The traWlers then
preceded the Nieuwe Amsterdam, drag
ging the Channel. The 'wreckage of
the trawler that was blown up was
scattered about the harbor mouth as
the steamship passed in. Captain Ba-

The passengers heard that the mine
planting was started two weeks ago,
preceding the order of the admiralty
forbiddng the announcement by Brit
ish firms in this country of the sailing
and arrivals of vessels. They assert
ed that the mines were anchored in
stead of being set adrift promiscuous-
ly in the war zone about the British
isles and that submarines with COM
partments for divers were used in lay
ing them.
Thames Mouth Mined.
The Channel ports of Southampton,
Plymouth and Falmouth were said to
be mined outside first. The passengers
heard that mines were placed off
Thameshaven at the mouth of the
