LONDON, Sept. 24.

CLEARING THE SEAS OF MINES

A BIG, JOB NEARLY DONES.

LONDON, Sept. 24.

An official announcement that the mine clearance service will cease at the end of November gives little indication of the immense and dangerous labour involved in sweeping up the minefields in the neighbour- hood of the British Isles within a year of the armistice. All that now remains to be done is the removal of remnants of the huge minefeld between the Shetlands and Norway and the remaining German mines of Heligoland Bight. Although the entire clearance of all mines laid is not claimed, sufficient routes for normal sea trafic are guaranteed.. task involved a close search of 40,000 square miles. A large proportion of the areas had to be covered twice and sometimes thrice. A very large percentage of the work was allotted to Great Britain, hence the mine clearance service was inaugurated.
