TICHTENBLOCKADE
Britain Takes Turn Treading
on Neutrals' Toes.
Warns Not to Attempt to Evade
British Inspection.

London, Feb. 21.-The Official Ga
zette today contains an order in coun-
Gil dated February 16, for tightening
the blockade of the countries with
which Great Britain is at war, as a
result of the German blockade MEM
orandum of January 81, and similar
enactments of other hostile countries
Whereas; These enemy orders are
in fragrant contradiction" the order
reads, "of the rules of international
law. the dictates of humanity and
treaty obligations of the enemy, and
render it necessary for further meas
ures to be adopted in order to main
tain the efficiency of those previously
taken to prevent commodities reach
ing or leaving enemy countries. His
majesty has ordered that the follow
ing declarations shall be observed re-
speeding all vessels which sail from
their port of departure after the date
of this order"
Text of the Edict.
The following official proclamation
modifying the terms of the British
naval blockade was issued:
IA vessel which is encountered at
the way to or from a port in any
neutral country affording means of access
to enemy territory without calling at a
port in British or allied territory, shall
until the contrary is established, be deemed
to be carrying goods with enemy destina-
ton of enemy origin and shall be
brought in for examination and If Iieces-
sary for adjudication before a prize court.
Amy vessel carrying goods with
enemy destination or of enemy origin shall
be liable to capture and condemnation in
respect of the carriage of such goods pro-
vided that in the case of any vessel which
calls at an appointed British or allied port
for examination of her cargo no sentence
of condemnation shall be pronounced ex-
cept on carriage of goods of enemy origin
or destination and no such presumption as
laid down in Article 1 shall arise.
floods which are found on examina-
ton of any vessel to be goods of enemy
origin or destination shall be liable to con-
demnatiOn.'
Is Directed at Scandinavians.
The blockade of Germany is appar-
emily made complete by the order in
council which is evidently directed at
shipping in the Baltic sea and the
North sea, where commerce between
Scandinavian nations and Germany
has been more or less unrestricted in
the past. From now on such ship
ping must put into British or Russian
ports for examination.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. Announce
ment was made today at the general
