(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)
(By Telegraph. Received, October 3, 12.25 p.m.)
London, To-day.
BRITISH NAVAL FORCES have been ordered to scour the Southern Atlantic for the German commerce raider which sank the British steam- er, Clement, yesterday.
According to the "Evening News" last night, the Clement was on her way to Britain from Brazil with 20,000 cases of petrol on board, as well as considerable general cargo.
The German raider made her ap- pearance somewhere off the coast of Brazil, and all shipping in the vicinity has been officially warned that further attacks by the corsair are to be anti- cipated.
The Admiralty gives no Indica- tion of the type of craft engaged, but it is balleved to be an armed merchant ship which had run to a South American refuge at the out- break of the war.
With her first appearance on the high seas, British naval units in the affected area are moving to intercept Ther and it is imagined that air cooper- atlon will be a feature of the hunt which was instituted as soon as the

ITALIAN LINER RUMOURS
Rome, To-day.
A semi-official statement denies foreign reports that the sailings of the Italian liners Rex and Conte di Savoia have been suspended.
These rumours and reports have no foundation, the statement says, and, indeed, the Rex will leave Genoa for New York on October 6 and the Conte di Savoia on October 12.
Other departures for the Americas will be announced in due course, ac- cording to the traffic demand.-Beuter.
New York, To-day. There are persistent reports here that the sailings of the Rex and Conte di Savoia will be-withdrawn after their next return trips.-Reuter.
