London, July 12
President Wilson's Froclamation on Neutral Shipping con- cludes:-Neutral shipping vessele on routes which are regarded as unnecessary to the prosecution of the war will be forced to more essential trades and ships lying in ports owing to boncinos will be requested to enter service. The Pre sident's proclamation states that the measure has become necessary in order to conserve the supplics which are essent ial for the military and naval programmes and the continu- ance of domestic activities. On the other hand our duty to and the difficulties of neutrals will be recognised by all fair and equitable means and available surpluses will be supplied to them to meat their pressing necessities...
THE NEW BRITISH DANGER ZONE.
Loudon, July 1 Regarding the Anglo-Dutch communications' concerning the placing of a new British mine-field in the North Sea Beuter learns that the Dutch Government has been fully informed that the British action is solely and speically dictated by military kiderations and is aut directed against the economic interests of Holland. The Netherlands has also been rezinded that there is no similarity between the measures taken by Britain and those taken by Germany, for the latter denies the use of the seas to all neutral ship- ping, Britain therefore maintains that it would be more reasonable for Holland to protest to Germany against the latter's illegal action than to complain of Britain's action.
