To World Shipping
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 25. The dan
ger to shipping from floating mines in
the North sea Is increasing, according
to the chief inspector of the Swedish
mercantile marine for that district of
navigation, who predicted that this
winter the mines will constitute a
greater menace than at any period
since the mine fields were laid.
So extensive were the mino fields
and so numerous the mines, says tho
inspector, that largo numbers of them
es aped dct ni t ion b th English and
American mine sweepers notwith
standing the energy and diligence wilh
which they worked More mines than
ever before now arc said to be loose
and drifting toward the Swedish coast.
Efforts arc made to sink such mines
as are seen by shooting them but It is
impossible to cope with them in this!
