"The Germans are continuing the questionable tactics of sowing
floating mines in neutral waters to the danger of neutral shipping,
as well as of British and French war vessels. They are apparently
tying them in Paris, so as to make it more difficult to avoid them."
As a result, the _Iron Duke_ has had to give up entirely its morning run
down the Rue de Rivoli. At the same time we are glad to hear that these
floating mines are tied. It stops them from floating quite so much.
