AGE THREE '

BRITISH SAILING ORDER RELIEVES FREIGHT CONGESTION IN NEW YORK

' 1 ' (By Associated prss) ! XKW- YORK. Feb. 16. The British admiralty's decision, to permit neutral vessels sailing from American ports or Europe to undergo examination at Halifax Instead of at Kirkwall brought Immediate relief today to the congested arRo situation at New York. Steamships of the Dutch and Scandinavian Hr.es which have been held in this port on account of the submarine blockade made preparations to sail by Ibe new route and it is expected that ceveral will get awav before the end of the week. The Ttyndsm, of the Holland-America line, which returned here WednesjHv, niter sailing to the very edgo of ! submarine zone, probably will 1eao today for Rotterdam. On this trip, however, she will carry no pasRcnsers. The first nentral passenger ship from this port to touch at Halifax after the Frederick VIII. which carries the former German ambassa- , dor and his suite probably will be the Stockholm, of tie Swedish-American . line, due to leave today for Gothenburg. Skirt Blockade Boundary Dv Rlopping for examination at Hal- ' ifax vessels bound for Holland and the Scandinavian countries .will be able to skirt the northern boundary of

' the blockade waters included in ihe German proclamation. While ships of ericin registry have the same privilege, there was no indication today . that their owners would follow the example of the Dutch and Scandinavian lines and send their vessels to sea. The stagnation of American Bhipping, however, is complete only so far as the big passenger liners are concerned. Several of the freighters that fly the stars and stripes are making prep- , arations to follow the few American cargo boats that already. have .braved the submarine danger. Shippers await further information from London or Ottawa in regard to regulations governing the examination of vessels at Halifax . No official 'announcements has been made as to

whether west bound ships may also call at that port for inspection. No Need of Congestion Agents of the big British steamship lines, declared today that there was no need of any congestion of ocean cargoes at Aberican ports. One of pointed out that Great Britain has tbout forty steamships now at New York ready to leave when loaded and representing a cargo, capacity of 150,000 tons The same authority asserted that there were in port here today about 260 steamships of British. Scandinavian. Dutch, Spanish, Italian and American registry and estimated their carrying capacity' at 750,000 tons. This includes . vessels engaged in coastwise trade.

the arrangement for the examining east hound trans-Atlantic shipping at Halifax, Nova Scotia instead of at Kirkwall are being worked out rapidly through exchanges between the British admiralty, the Canadian authorities and the British embassy here. In consideration of conduction of the examination on the western side of the Atlantic which British officials here declare Is entirely indifferent to the needs of the American commerce, American shipmasters are expected to co-operate and avoid any attempt to make their way across the Atlantic without inspection.
