THE BLOCKADE IN THE BALTIC

LONDON, Oct. 18. The Daily Mail nyy. "The Germos arc realising m the Baltic the .moaning of a real blockade. Then navy is now boxed up m ports, behind nets, hawsers, and mines. Mie British achievements are remarkable because the submarines to reach the .baltic must pass through, a narrow, shallow strait obstructed at its southern -end by mines. Zeppelins are conjjtantlv on tho watch, yet the Navy is equal to tho task of showing who commands the sea. As Germany depends upon Sweden for iron ore tor fine steel, the .submarine action is affecting her output of munitions.
