THE BATAVIER.

Loudon 'Times' and Sydney 'Sun' Services. LONDON, March 25. A correspondent at New York state?; that an American was on board the Dutch steamer Batavier when submarine U36, which was completed since the war broko out, commanded her to stop. A grinning German lieutenant clambered aboard with a revolver swinging in his belt, and informed the captain of the Batavier that the vessel was a war prize. He signalled to the submarine, which quickly headed south. Tb-« Batavier followed the gsiss, steering a dizzy course through a thick minefield to Zeebrugge. Two Belgian girls who were on board refused to be downhearted, and shouted: " Vive la Belgique!" "Vive I'Amerique 1" The Germans saluted them courteously.
