It has been officially denied in Ber« l ia that the Hamburg-Amerika and the Nord - deutscher - Lloyd Transatlantic Lines are bankrupt. This 'stated a Geneva, telegram of July 29th) may be true from a purely legal point of view, as the shareholders have taken no public action in the courts, but there is little doubt that both companies are insolvent from a business point" of view. The Nord-deuts-eher-Lloyd Line has issued the following circular, which reached Switzerland through Basle;—“For German navigation on the seas the declaration of war against France, Russia, and England represents for us the most terrible catastrophe. All our navigation since the end of July, 1914, has been paralysed by the insecurity of the political position, and it was completely stopped at the beginning of August. In comparison with 1913 the number of our pasengers has diminished bv 284.582. In the first seven months "of 1914 there were 376,795. against 662,363 in 1913. Since August last both the passenger and goods traffic has entirely ' ceased.” the report adds that it is not yet possible to estimate the great losses incurred by the two companies, but it appears that they owe several millions sterling and cannot pay their c 1; editors, and as f their indebtedness - iijreases daily by leaps and bounds the question of bankruptcy is only • formal legal matter.
