TIWE OF GRACE
ii.' sub v;ar out
Period of Escape ' Allowed by Ger-
many Hat Expired and Fearful
Carnage la Expected.
(Wy AMoclated Prm)
Amsterdam Feb. 14. All perldds of
grace for neutral ships entering the
xonee announced as prohibited by
Germany have now expired accord-
ing to a Berlin official statement re-
ceived here. The statement says that
Immunity ceased In respect to the At-
lantic and English channel zones on
the night of February 12th for the
North Sea tone on February 6th and
"for the Mediterranean tone on Feb-
ruary 10th. It continues:
"From now on therefore. In all. pro-
lilblted zones the warning which has
been Issued Is In full fore and ship-
ping can no longer expect Individual
warning. Vessels which enter the-
prohibited area do ao with a full
knowledge of the dangers threatening
them and their crews. It Is expressly
elated that all nows spread from ene-
my sources about any torpedoing of
neutral ships without previous warn-
ing before the dates mentioned for the
various prescribed aroas Is Incorrect.
"The periods of grsce mentioned
were also In force for enemy passen-
ger vessels because It was possible
that they were carrying neutral pas-
sengers who were perhsps Ignorant of
the new blockade regulations."
