(Received February 23, 7.30 p.m.)
RUGBY, February 22.
Italy recently announced that a large area in the central Mediterranean is dangerous to shipping. Britain has also given notice of an area in the Mediterranean that is dangerous to shipping. Malta is the hub of this central Mediterranean area. The lines enclosing the waters now perilous to shipping extend south from “the heel” of Italy to a point ©ff Cyrenaica, then eastwards to French territorial waters off the Tunisian coast. North-western points in the “danger square” include the Sicilian Channel and the Bonifacio straits west of Sardinia.
