British notes to Washington warn of indiscriminate minefields near Great Britain and in the North Sea affecting neutral and American ships. The State Department says Americans abroad may seek passage through Cherbourg or Lisbon while ports in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands remain under strain.
