I.) —Great Britain s denunci- \ ation of the principles of the declara tion of Loudon, it was announced iu ' German official circles yesterday, prob ably will be followed by Germany. i 1 An inspired dispatch from Berlin [printed in the Cologne ''Gazette," commenting on this question, says that j newspaper reports of England's action 1 have aot been confirmed officially, but t.lfut if they are true Germany will ■ adopt a similar policy towards Bug ' land. The Herman press generally refrains from commenting on the \arious Brit ish measures for closing the North Sea 1 and with regard to her reported difli 1 culties with neutral nations oh the j j question of contraband, briefly pointing iout that a closure like the laying of a j mine tield in the English Channel seems j to be. inspired more by a desire to in terfere with non-contraband commerce I I seeking thp neutral nations contiguous to 'Germany than by purely military objects.

The force re-embarked after los ing four men. t Dispatches from Constantinople says ; that a British squadron bombarded the 1 Dardanelles forts at daybreak on No-1 ! vember 3. They did no damage.
