A meeting of the Jutland Farmers’ Association urged the continuance of exports of Danish faim products to Britain at all costs. The whole economic future of Denmark was at stake and the Danish sailors would do their duty despite the dangers. Bacon factories have stopped receiving bacon pigs because of the unsettled transport conditions.

The Berlin correspondent of tlie "National Tidende” quotes German maritime authorities as declaring that all merchantmen resisting examination by German warships must do so at their own risk because the warships will use all their weapons in these circumstances. It was further stated that Germany was from now on intensifying the U-boat warfare against Britain blit, neutrals need not fear unlimited U-boat warfare because Germany would adhere to Prize Court rules and the safety of merchantmen! which did not resist would therefore not be jeopardized. It is reported that one of the neutral Baltic States has seized a German submarine in territorial waters and interned the crew. The Germans have released the steamer Algeria which was taken to Kiel on September 39 when on u voyage to Italy. , The “Manchester Guardians’ Moscow correspondent says that 12 English and live Swedisli ships are held up at Murmansk, Archangel, because England is detaining Russian cargoes and Russian steamers.
