Mine-laying by Royal Air Force

LONDON. Jan. 2.--(CP) —Mine- laying aircraft of the Royal Air Force bomber command have flown more than 1.000.000 miles. sowing the deadly bail of death that has sent unestimated tons of enemy shipping to the bottom.

The aircraft have cruised over home waters and distant seas into

. feast. skalzaerak and even the Kiel Canal.

For the most part the work of the flying mine-layers is of a routine character free from enemy opucsi- tlon. though sometimes an anti- aircraft battery from ship or shore attempts to bar the way. Mine- layers carry bombs as well and to the crews themselves the adlventure 0f the night. comes only when thcv have but their mines in the right place and can search for enemy stripping in bays and inlets aloni! the coast.

Onlv their bombing has any im- mediate effect. so mine-laying it- self sometimes appears to be a mcn- otonous. thankless task. Unlike the men who flv over Berlin or over the Alps to Italy. mine-layers can bring back no thrilling reports of instant destruction. It is onlv slowly. some- times months after they have done their work.( that they can know .how much they have done to har- ass and disarm the enemy.

Their mines mav have been laid

at it is discovered. bv means of information filtering through many sources. that seven ships. each se- verely damaged by mines. are lying at one end of the Kiel Canal. Cer- tain information. too. may be pierc- ed together until it is known sev- eral vessels were sunk places where the Germans apparently did not know mines were lai

meat is the danlzcr to German shipping from British mines that. it has been learned here. the Gel"- man State Railways are refusing to accept goods for shipment through a. number of Baltic ports and they refuse to sav how long the traffic interruption will last. One of the Ba‘tic routes is closed altogether and convoys from Nor- wiav now hug the coast and choose the shortest wav across the Baltic. The convoys are so timed that the crossing is always made in dailillht.

Wholesale Prices climb In Denmark

COPENHAGEN. (Via Bcrliu), Jan. 2. -1AP) — Wholesale prices in Denmark have risen more than ‘I0 per cent since the outbreak of the war, government figures disclosed today.

Curtailed op rtunlties for invest- ment of capita have caused a huge increase in bank deposits which. last month, reached the record to- tal in Copcnhageirs three princi- pal banks of 319300.000 kroner. an advance of 46,300,000 kroner from November.
