WARSHIPS MUST NOT AID SHIPS!
COPENHAGEN, OCT, 8. (REUTER)—A WARN- ING TO NEUTRAL SHIPS AGAINST JOIN. ING THE ALLIED CONVOYS IS GIVEN BY THE "FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG". THE GERMAN NEWSPAPER, WHICH IS QUOTED BY: THE COPENHAGEN "POLITIKEN", says that the regulations with regard to the stopping and examining of ships and a ban on sinking without warning cannot be complied with when the merchantmen are protected by warships.
This applies not only to enemy convoys protected by enemy warships, but also to neutral ships joining enemy convoys.
Neutral ships convoyed by their own warships cannot be stopped and searched, according to the German prize regulations, but the commander of the convoy-can be asked for assurances and detailed information with regard to his ship and cargoes.
The German Admiralty, according to the paper, has declared that if neutrals cared to incur the trouble and expense of convoying their own ships, this would be
welcomed by the High Command.
