Germans Blame Masters of l)ut<
Craft for l^>ss of Their Cargoes.
Berlin. Feb. 24 (via Snyville, Fe
25).?An official statement with re
erence to the sinking of the l)ut<
steamers by a German submarine
given out through the medium of tl
Overseas News agency as follows"According
to telegrams receivi
from Holland February 22 at
o'clock in the afternoon, sever
[Dutch ships were destroyed whic
with the agreement of German
wanted to leave the barred zone in
westward direction from Falmou
and Dartmouth.
"In answer to this, it is stated
authoritative quarters, that after tl
declaration of the barred zone, l)ut(
ship owners asked the British authu
ities to permit 33 steamers lying
i Falmodth and Dartmouth, o! whn
20 were loaded \vith grain for ti
Dutch government, to proceed out
the barred zone, which were st
there after tlie expiration of the tin
hxed (by Uermauy), February 5.
"The German authorities agreed
this, making an exception in ordi
to let the 2o cargoes of grain reat
the Dutch government, but the co
dition was added that the ships ougl
not to sail later than February 1
11. In this way the ships wou
have been able to leave in all safei
the barred zone within the extendi
time, which was known to all submi
rines.
"The Dutch ship owners acceptt
this offer, but were for some reuse
unable to get their ships out of ti
English ports within the allotlc
time. They renewed their requei
for permission to sail later and wei
informed that the vessels could len\

safety February 22, by an indicate
route.

Word reached ilerlin February 16
this intention, and thereupon tl
ship owners were expressly inform,
that unconditional safety could n
be granted for February 22, as the
was no certainty that all the subm
rines engaged in the waters to
traversed would receive the wirele
jorder. At the same time it was i
jslsted that outside the Indicat
course 'no guarantee whatever wou
be given with respect to the dang
of mines.
"Apparently eight ships final
took upon themselves the risk of t
trip. If the Dutch news is corre.
that these eight ships were destrc

mine near the English coast wh
the other seven on the afternoon
February 22 were destroyed in t
course indicated?it is to be deej
regretted, but the responsibility fa

to send their ships under only coi
