NEUTRALS AND GERMANY
RUMOURS OF STRAINED RELATIONS. DIMINISHED SUPPLIES.FR'CKM HOLf LAN® ANID DENMARK. {Australian and N.Z. Oahle Association ; NEW YORK, Sept. 21. The New York Times' Berlin correspondent cables: "For a week there have been persistent rumours that relations between Denmark and Germany l are strained to a dangerous point. This is formally deniedi on the Bourse. . "I have ascertained that the rurnour is due to Denmark's economic action. Under England's growing pressure both Denmark and) Holland have diminished their food exports to Germany in a\very noticeable degree. ._ . . "Public opinion in Germany, which, is now most sensitive, believes that if the pressure by the British continues to the logical limit it will mean the complete closure of the neutral borders to food exports to Germany, which many 1 would consider would be tantamount to war. Therefore any further diminution of exports from these countries might result in a grave and even dangerous situation. . , "Sweden is the last gap in the Allies blockade, and all Germany is watching j with anxiety to see whether this last I useful bacld door of Germany will be [closed."
