II is pointed out that the system
under which ships enter kirkwall is
not Il compulsory one. but has been
universally adopted by shipping as the
only means OF avoiding the difficulties
Of examination at sea. AS the system

Not WILLING TO DISCUSS
IT'S PROBABLE COURSE

For the present. however. the For
cirn Office is not willing TO discuss
what course may he pursued. as tho
whole range of questions raised by the
new German danger zones doubtless
will be considered by the War Cabinet.
Meantime. shipping circles arc anSi-
ously cHnva SsinG what aftermath can
be provided for entering Kirkwal.
one suggestion is that American and
scandinavian ships be examined at sea
by tho British blockade fleet stationed
between tho Farce Islands and Iceland
THIS cNumina ton at sea would be
relatively less dangerous than proceed
ing across the German danger zone.
Another alternative suggested is for
the examination Of cargoes by British
agents at American. Scandinavian and
Dutch ports before the departure OF
vessels. y third suggestion is for an
mamma ton to be made at some British
colonial port. like Halifax. The latter
two alternatives are not considered
feasible. however. as il is believed the
American government would not yield
on the point OF examination at home
ports or in Canada.

LONDON. February 1.-The German

As kirkwall is nifty miles inside tho
