ceased in respect to the Atlantic and

of Feb. II, for the North Sea zone on
Feb. 6 and for the Mediterranean zone
on Feb. 10. 1t continues:
From now on, therefore, in all pro-
hibited zones the warning which has
been issued is in full force and ship
ping can no longer expect individual
warning. Vessels which enter the pro-
hibited areas do so with a full knOwl-
edge of the dangers threatening them
that all news spread from enemy
sources about any torpedoing of neu-
trail ships without warning, before the
dates mentioned for the various pro-
hibited areas, is incorrect.
'The periods of grace mentioned al
so were in force for enemy passenger
vessels because it was possible that
they were carrying neutral passengers
who were perhaps ignorant of the new
blockade regulations"
