that Wilbur Collins of this city will be

would be exempted. Her other son,

Several new claims for industria

Amsterdam, Nov. PA new Ger
man barred zone, a despatch from
| Berlin Announces, has been estab
lished around the Azores (which
have become in economic and mill
tary respects important hostile bases
of Atlantic navigation"
The extension of the German mar
itime barred zone is announced from
/ Berlin in an official memorandum
which says:
THE hostile governments are "a
Sdeavoring by the intensification ol
the hunger blockade against neutral
countries to force out to sea neutral
cargo space which is keeping in port
and to press it into their service
STRUGGLE AGAINST VIOLENCE.
"As hostile shipping and shipping
sailing in hostile interest are being
supplemented by violent measures
the German government in Its
struggle against Great Britain's dom.
ination Of violence which trampled
under feet all rights, especially those
of smaller nations, finds itself
Obliged to extend the field of opera
ton Of it's submarines"
1t adds that the extension princi-
pally consists Of the establishment
Of barred zone around the Azores
which have become in economic and
military respects important hostile
bases of Atlantic navigation" and in
closing a channel to Greece hitherto
left open in the Mediterranean as it
had been utilized by the Venizelos gov
eminent, not so much for the supply
for the Greek population with food
stuffs as the transport of arms and
ammunitions."
GRACE PERIOD ALLOWED.
It Is stated also that neutral and
Belgian relief ships now within the
Azores and Greek barred zones may
leave safely by the shorter route be-
fore November 80 and they are grant
ed "an adequate period of grace" if
they entered the barred areas without
foreknowledge of the extension.
1.-THE Azore islands are in the north
Atlantic about two-thirds of the way
between the United States and Europe
and belong to Portugal. An Amsterdam
dispatch last Monday said that German
Vice Admiral Kirchhosef writing in the
Neuste Nachrichten declared that the
United States had established herself
on the Azores and constructed fortifi :
cations at Punta Delgado. He attempt-
ed to point out that such possession
would threaten important German
