U. S. ADOPTS PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURES.
A. P. A. Service.
BEItl-IN, .Tune 2fl.—The United
States has adopted the practice of noti
fying tlie German admiralty the time
of departure of every passenger vessel
flying the American flag when leaving
the ports of the United Staes en route
to Europe and also the approximate
hour during which such vessels will
pass through the war v.one around the
British Isles. Tlte American notifica
tion is transmitted to the naval bureau
through Ambassador Gerard. By this
practice much of the danger of en
countering the submarines is obviated
and also the possibility of mistakes in
identity are greatly overcome. It is
not known whether this arrangement is
at the solicitation of the German gov
ernment although it undoubtedly re
ceives the approval of the council.
