NORTH SEA MENACE.
DANGEROUS FISHING CRAFT. London, Sunday. The Daily Telegraph quotes a letter -from Dr Win. Lloyd to the effect that many trawlers captured in the North Sea were fitted with Marconi installation and carrying torpedo tubes. It is onqnestionable that trawlers are used m minelaying by night. The time hag come, S3ys the letter, v?ben the North Sea should be cleared of hostile and neutral fishing boats, which are the cause of great anxiety to sailors. The enemy's submarines approach under cover of German trawlers flying British and Dutch flags. The Times, in a leader, says the lesson of the Emden's exploits in the Bay of Bengal might have been multiplied a hundredfold if the German navy were larger or the British navy less formidable.
