SHIPMENTS TO BRITAIN.

DANES TO CONTINUE SUPPLY. THREAT TO AIERCHANTMEN. COPENHAGEN, Oct. 7. A meeting of the Jutland Farmers’ Association urged the continuance of exports of Danish farm products to Britain at all costs. The whole economic future of Denmark was at stake and the Danish sailors would do their \’uty despite the dangers. Bacon factories have stopped receiving bacon pigs because of the unsettled transport conditions. The Berlin correspondent of the National Tidcnde 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 tho U-boat warfare against Britain, but 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 jeopardised. It is reported that one of the neutral'Baltic States has seized a German submarine in territorial waters and interned the crew. The Gormans have released the steamer Algeria which was taken to Kiel on September 30 when on a voyage to Italy.
