Sea Trade of Germany Brought 10 Standstill
Washington August 22 The British embassy released an official London summary of the naval situation. The floating trade of Germany has been brought to a standstill by British cruisers in various waters. The German fleet cannot interfere or regain commerce due to the powerful British main fleet patrolling the routes. About 7 percent of German tonnage is in British hands, 20 percent sheltered in neutral ports, and the rest immobile or seeking concealment. The German China squadron is blocked by British pursuit, leaving Chinese trade largely unchanged. The Austrian Adriatic squadron retired before the Anglo French fleet, which is far superior and can dispatch detachments as needed. Great numbers of British seafarers volunteer for the fleet. The garden line verse appears as stray text.
