Immediate precautionary meaures wero taken by the authorities of the Fourth Naval DUtrlct here to guard snips ugalnst the mine field d.mgeis. All tho American ships leaving this port, coastwise and overseas, must apply to the routing officer of the district for a route. Meanwhile, effoi ts are being made to clear the dangerous zono at tho veiy mouth of the Dolaunro Bay. Naval authorities here arc of tho opin ion that tho mines were Inld by the bubmarlnes that nttackod.coast thlpplng snmo months ago. Tho Idea that the explosives came from a German "naval base somewhere along the coast Is scout ed, as Is tho theory that tho field may huvo been the work of disguised mcr chantmen. It Is believed that submarine mtne ISyers, with the assistance of combina tion U-boats, carrying both mines and torpedoes, placed tho mines. Tho Atlantic coast mine fields, ie ealed by Germany unler the terms of the nrmlstlce, were located ul the fol lowing several points: Just oft the mouth of the Delaware Bay, between Cape Ilentopen and Cape ir:., :., u-.. . r.11, ...: May, a mine Held was Mid covering three I 1'lg'jiccr ill trance tails Ariiu mlliy.

The ninth field was located off Capo H.Uteras, oft tho coast of North Caro lina, whero nlno mines floated at Inttr alB of fifty meters.

Tho notice warned that a mlno showing about ten Inches above water was seen seven miles erst of Asbury Park.
