London, March 23. - A Reuter- dis
patch from Christiania says the Ger
man minister as communicated to the
Norwegian government an order
from his government that in future
the part of the Arctic sea lying east
of "a degrees east longitude and south
of rs degrees north latitude, excepting
Norwegian territory, is to be regarded
as dangerous for all navigation
Ships will be met with all weapons.
Neutral vessels entering those waters
must do so at their own risk. Neutral
ships already on the way or returning
from ports in this zone will not be at
tackled without warning until April y
The effect of the German declara-
ton is to extend the barred zone to
the waters giving access to northern
Russian ports. The zone indicated eX-
tends from the northern part of Nor
way eastward to the north of the Rus
sian and Siberian coast. At the time
of the German declaration of unre-
Stricted submarine warfare the Rus
sian northern ports through which in
the summer months Russian war sup
plies are imported from the United
States and England were icebound.
The issuance of the declaration at this
time evidently is due to the approach

these waters
