The Hamburg-America liner Dacia lias been renamed the Yser.

The vessel sailed for a German port, and was captured by a French Warship and taken to Brest. As French x<les recognise no transfers of shipping made after war has begun, the Prize Oourt decided the capture to be a legal one. The 0. and D.
