18 GERMAN STEAMERS. AN ICEBREAKING WARSHIP. APPEAL FOR RUSSIAN AID. (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, January 11. The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Express" reports that 18 German steamers from Leningrad were caught in an icefield in the Gulf of Finland. Much anxiety is felt as to their safety, as they are running short of coal and food. The German Ambassador in Moscow is urging Russia to carry provisions to the icebound ships by aeroplane. Meanwhile the German Government sent the heavy battleship Hessen, with an icebreaker, to smash her way through the ice.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
