WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-Th'
state department received the Off
c.tl texts today of Germany's reply tC
the protest regarding the extension
OF the war zone cad the British reply
20 the American notes regarding the
use OF neutral flags and the placing
OF the Wilhelmina before a prize
court.
The British reply regarding the
flag shocked administration officials
They confidently believed that Great
Britain would attempt 10 minimize
the use OF the stars and stripes OF
abandon the prlc,ice Instead, the
IcIoign office SAID in effect tina,
while Il would no. order command
ers OF merchan:shlps to use the flag
q would not stop the practice en-
tIicly
England justified placing the Will
helmina before a,Ttize court because
Germany had decided to seize sup
plies OF food 90 the empire.
A hint carried by the note that
Great Britain may declare all food
stuffs contraban1 increased anxiety
among administration officials. The
burden OF responsibility for the de.
struction by German war craft OF
neutral vessels because British mer-
chantmen may use neutral flags was
placed by the British reply upon Ger
many.
Government officials consider that
as result OF the latest develop
mcnts, the United States is involved
mere deeply than ever in the inter-
national tangle.
LONDON, Feb. 2O.-The British
foreign office issued a note last night
in reply to the representations OF the
United States government concerning
the use OF the American flag oV
British vessels.
The note says that the Cunard line
steamer Lusitania on her recent voy'
age from New York to Liverpool
raised the American flag ito save the
lives Of non-combaiants, crew and
passengers"
Government Gives No Instructions.
II adds that in spite of the fact
that American passengers embarkins
on the Lusitania on her outward voy-
age for New York osked that the AM
erlcan flag be hoisted, "the British
government did not give any advice
to the company AS to how TO meet
this request and II Ia understood the
I,usitania left Liverpool under the
British flag"
After discussing the. Lusitania In
cldent, the memorandum makes this
statement:
"The British government has no
intention Of advising their merchant
shipping to use foreign flags as
general practice or to resort to them
otherwise than for escaping capture
or destruction"
Blame Shifted to Enemy.
In conclusion the statement says
"The obligation upon a belllgerent
warship to ascertain definitely for
itself the nationality and character
OF merchant vessel before captur.
ing It and fortIon tstronger reason)
before sinking aui destroying It has
been universally recognized.
IF that obligation is fulfilled, the
