ваук German mines become harmless when they break from their moorings. As a rule both German and British mines do this. The assertion that British mines explode when crat aahore is untrue. We understand that the Dutch authorities are of opinion that the British mines are not, more dangerous than the German when they break loose.

But the complaint is pot directed against mines which break away from their moorings. In most cases such mizes become harmless. The compinist is that in the few routes still open to bur shipping and along which our grain imports must come, as well as the traffic to and from our calonice, anchored mines are laid. If all this is not sufficient for qur Government to charge Germany: with laying mines without warping, sarely an enquiry at least would not be misphicosk
