A special spe-cial dispatch from Amsterdam features fea-tures a dispatch of tho Berlin Kruz Zeitung to the effect that Germany has decided to make the safety of neutral ships carrying neutral cargoes dependent upon guarantees that no part of such cargoes shall bo landed, whether through British compulsion or not, at any British port. Such guarantees, according to the Kruz Zeitung, can consist in only formal for-mal undertakings by Great Britain and only such an undertaking will be recognized rec-ognized by Germany from case to case. This is taken to mean that in event of any neutral cargo or part therefore being landed in England, tho German government immediately will cease to recognize the inviolability of neutral ships. Tho Berlin paper implies that the case of the Dutch freighter Bloom-ersdijk, Bloom-ersdijk, which was sunk by a German submarine off Nantucket, October 8, will be argued along these lines and It will be contended since tho Intermediate Inter-mediate destination of the vessel was Kirkwall there was no guarantee that I the whole cargo would reach Holland. The British press also infers from a Berlin dispatch, summarized in the Koelnische Zeitung, that Germany proposes to sink all neutral ships, where bearing neutral cargoes or otherwise, oth-erwise, unless Great Britain consents to disband to compel the discharge of any part of a neutral cargo suspected sus-pected of having an enemy destination. destina-tion. oo |
