Found Act Necessary. LONDON. Nov. 2. The entire North Sea has been declared a military area and merchant vessels entering it will be exposed to the gravest dangers from the mines and from the war ships which are searching vigilantly by night and day for suspicious craft. This action has been taken as a reply to the laying of mines by the Germans in the waters north of Ireland. The Secretary of the Admiralty to night made the following announce ment . of - the virtual closing of the North Sea to traffic: During the last week the Germans have scattered mines indiscriminately in the open sea on the main trade route from America to Liverpool, via the north of Ireland. "Peaceful merchant ships have al ready been blown up with loss of life by this agency. The White Star liner Olympic escaped disaster by pure good luck and but for warnings given by British cruisers- other British and neu tral merchant and passenger vessels would have been destroyed. Abuse of Neutral Flag, Charge. These mines could not have been, laid by any German ship of war. They have been laid by some merchant ves sel flying a neutral flag, which has come along the trade route as if for purposes of peaceful commerce, and. while profiting to the fullest by the im munity enjoyed by neutral merchant tilps, has wantonly and recklessly en dangered the lives of all who travel the sea. In these circumstances, having re gard to the great interests entrusted to the British navy, to the safety of peaceful commerce on the high seas and to the maintenance within the lim its of international law of trade be tween neutral countries, the Admiralty feels it necessary to adopt exceptional measures, appropriate to the novel con ditions under which this war is being waged. . Sea Is Military Area. "They, therefore, give notice that the whole of the North Sea must be consid ered a military area. Within this area merchant shipping of all kinds, traders of all countries, fishing craft and all other vessels will be exposed to the gravest dangers from miries which it has been necessary to lay. and from warships searching vigilantly by night and by day for suspicious craft. "All merchant and fishing vessels of every description are hereby warned of the dangers they encounter by entering this area, except in strict accordance with Admiralty directions. Every ef fort will be made to convey this warn ing to neutral countries and to vessels on the sea. but from November 5 on ward the Admiralty announces that all ships passing the line drawn from the northern point of the Hebrides, through the Faroe Islands to Iceland do so at their own peril. Channel Route Adrlxed. "Ships of all countries wishing to trade to and from Norway, the Baltic, Denmark and Holland are advised to come, if Inward bound, by the English Channel and the Straits of Dover. There they w(ll be given sailing directions which will pass them safely, so far as Great Britain is concerned, up the east coast of England to Fame Island, whence a safe route will, if possible. be given to Llndesnas lighthouse. "From this point they should turn north or sonth, according to their des tination, keeping as near the coast as possible. The converse applies to ves sels outward bound. "By strict adherence to these routes the commerce of all countries will be able to reach Its destination in safety, so far as Great 'Britain Is concerned. but any straying, even for a few miles from the course thus Indicated may be followed by fatal consequences.
