Ieeberas Moving Far South.

Boston.-Icy battalions from the
polar seas have moved south to lati-
tudes in the north Atlantic that corre-
spond with this city and have forced
the moving of transatlantic steamship
tracks $50 miles south of the usual
lanes at this season. Radio reports
from the coast guard cutter Seneca
told of ice fields that We're traced as
far south as forty-four latitude with
their limits still undetermined.
