CARGO WAR.
BRITAIN AND GERMANY. The Sunday Times said that the refusal of British shipping_ companies to increase their charges 25 per cent, because of the' depreciation of sterling is expected tc lead to an AngloGerman freight war. The Germans hold that the conference agreement has been violated. As a result the newest and speediest Hamburg-South America vessel, Cap Acorna, is calling at Southampton, en route for South America, despite the Anglo-German understanding closing certain ports to certain ships. The Cap Acorna is attempting to secure British mail contracts which ordinarily are given to the fastest vessels, irrespective of their nationality.
