Paris, Feb. 26. T is stated here that the presence of British warships off Petsamo, on the Arctic coast of Finland, is due to the fact that there are some German naval units, including submarines, at Petsamo and Murmansk. Owing to ice conditions in the Arctic, German units cannot get away to the east but must proceed westwards. Ships are cruising about, watching for the departure of German vessels.—Reuter.
