U.S.A. PROHIBITION NAVY.
SEIZURE OF BRITISH SHIPS. OUTSIDE THREE-MILE LIMIT. (Received 22, 1.45 p.m.) Washington, Sept. 21. The Associated Press understands that the British Government is asking information about seizures of British shipping outside United States waters by the United States prohibition navy on charges of alleged attempted smuggling. While Britain is not sympathetic with smugglers she considers a larger question is involved, if the United States extends jurisdiction beyond the recognised three-mile limit at pleasure without consulting other maritime nations. Britain is anxious to reach an understanding on which Mr. C. E. Hughes is willing to negotiate. —(A. and N.Z.)
