Peru has sent an ultimatum to Ger
many.
The Hamburg prize court recently
refused damages to the owners of the
Peruvian sailing vessel Lorton, which
was sunk by a German submarine on
February 5 off the coast of Spain
The reason assigned by the court was
that the Lorton, when stopped and
asked for her nationality, hoisted the
British flag. 1t was also alleged that
the Lorton was carrying contraband
for England.
The Vossische Zeitung says that in
view of the threatening tone of Peru's
not the imperial German chancellor
has ordered the Hamburg decision
referred to the upper prize court at
Berlin for final adjudication.

leaving British patrol vessels to be
free to escort troopships from Aus
tralia and New Zealand.
As the war progressed Japan's nav
al cooperation became of growing
importance. Its development may be
summarized as follows:
Japan's first fleet was sent to OPP
crate between the Yellow sea and the
northern part of Eastern sea, while
a second fleet was occupied outside
Tsingtau. In cooperation with the
British, the japanese patrolled the In
dian ocean and the Bay Of Bengal.
Important missions have been under
taken by Japanese cruisers in the
northern Pacific on several occasions
at the request Of the British govern
ment. Recently Japan sent a detach-
ment of light craft to the Mediter-
ranean.
The most recent movement is the
dispatch of fast Japanese cruisers to
aid in the patrol of the coasts of Aus
tralia, New Zealand, South America
and transport routes over practically
the whole expanse of the South seas
and Indian ocean.
