By Ed L. Keen LONDON, Feb. 19.—The Norwegian tank steamer Bel- tidge, en route to Amsterdam from New Orleans with a cargo of oil, was torpedoed in the Straits of Dover today. Eighteen nembers of the cr and the admiralty pilot are missing. It is feared they perished. The Belridge in a sinking con- dition was towed to Walmer, where she was beached. This, with the attempted destruction of the French S. §. Donorah, was the first move by the Germans in carrying out their blockade against England The German submarine U-16 torpedoed the Dinorah off Dieppe while en route from Havre to Dunkirk. The sub- marine’s torpedo did not strike the Dinorah with full force, and only one of the vessel's plates was sprung. The Dinorah was towed safely into port by a tug The Belridge was steaming along in mid-channe! when a violent explosion stove in her plates below the water line. Pumps were etart- ed, but the lower deck was soon awash, Fires were drawn to prevent a boller expicsion, and the small boate were ordered lowered. BABY WILL GET HOME FEAR HIDDEN MINES ae The pilot and 18 members of the craft left in these and have not n heard from since Several volunteers remained with the captain on the ship until Dover tugs arrived and towed her to Walmer. The German fleet is not participating in the blockade, but Zeppelins are patrolling the North sea, on the lookout for vessels carrying cargo of food The Dutch steamship Helena was stopped by a Zeppelin today. After ascertaining the vessel's identity, the pilot of the Zeppelin sig- naled the Helena to proceed. This was the first time, with the excep- tion of the raid on the British coast, that the Zeppelins have been real factors in war operations. now man and wife! ‘ she a 4 —— K cp The ceremony was perform ne ot “A fee oi ™ antmen ed at the home of Mrs. John "Thes ae peace eee) WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.— The state department was ad- vised today that all travel be- tween England and the conti nent had ‘been suspended by order of the British admiralty until further notice The new order is taken to mean that Great Britain re- gards the German blockade ser jously and does not propose to risk the lives of passengers in the danger zone.
