GERMAN BALTIC FLEET CAUGHT IN ITS OWN
MINEFIELD.
UNABLE TO RETURN TO ITS BASE. \
RUSSIANS MINE THE SOUTHERN , BALTIC.
COPENHAGEN, April 6. The German Baltic fleet is unable to return to its base, after attacking Libau, having been caught in its own minefield, which is adrift.
The warships have taken refuge between the islands of Gotsland and Oeland, off the Swedish coast, where they are remaining until the passage is cleared.
Advices from Stockholm state that the Russians have mined the Southern Baltic, between the Bornholm and Ruegen Islands.
