German War Zone Excludes Neutral Seas Near Europe
Washington reports Germany’s proclamation of a war zone around Great Britain and Ireland excludes seas adjacent to neutral countries. Only waters directly bordering France and Great Britain are in the zone, with routes near the Shetland Islands and along the Dutch coast not open to danger. State Department notes clarify neutral ships remain protected, while Germany promises to spare passengers and crews on contraband cases. Officials may discuss flag use and responses with Britain and Germany amid Lusitania notes.
