ALLIES MISUSE
AMERICAN FLAG,
GERMAN CHARGE
Representations Will Be Taken
Up in New Note to Great
Britain by U. S.

WASHINGTON. June 21.-Serious
charges of abuse by the allies of the
American flag have been made By
Germany TO the state department, II
became known today.
| They covered at least half a dozen
instances in the past TWO months
Each WAS taken under consideration
by the department.. and the embassy
at London was called on for a re-
| port.
Thus far, it was said, no reply has
been made 10 any of the complaints
1t WAS learned on high authority
that, in addition to these complaints
cases We're cited where other neutrals
| flags have been flown by British mer-
chantmen sent out, thus disguised, to
comb the seas for German subma-
rines.
1t was expected here that these
! charges would figure prominently IN
| Germany's reply to the latest Ameri-
| can note.
German Defense for Tactics.
The theory was that Germany would
say that while such methods are per-
sisted in it will be impossible fol
| German submarine commanders to
observe the ordinary usages of stop
pected merchant vessels.
In this connection the charge made
officially by the Berlin government
that Germany's most popular hero
| Commander Weddigen, with the crew
! of submarine U-29. lost their lives
when their boat was attacked by a
British vessel flying the Swedish flag
| has already been taken cognizance OF
by the state department.
Inasmuch as the U-29's entire crew
was said to have perished when their
craft was rammed and sunk. officials
admitted they were puzzled to under
stand how the German government
got its information.
The British admiralty having de-
clared the submarine was destroyed
by a British warship flying the Brit
ish flag, 1t was thought likely the
London foreign office would be asked
for complete report in case the
, T-29 appears as a potent factor in
| the next note from Berlin to Wash
! ington.
To Figure In Next Note.
The various German accusations
were expected also to figure largely
! in Americas note to England. OFF,
| cials admitted that it has been openly
| charged that among vessels which
| have displayed the Stars ana stripes
on their way through st. Georges
channel, across thes Irish sea and to
French ports. have been freighters
carrying eargoes consisting entirely
! of munitions.
In one instance, il is asserted. q
cargo of horses for the French army
was carried in a steamship whict
/ flew the American flag almost con.
! tinuously from the time it cleared
! the Virginia capes.

Eighteen persons were drowned in
this State yesterday. Two of the
victims were Newark men. One was
lost in Staten Island sound and the
other off Sandy Hook. The extraordi-

catastrophe at Atlantic City, when
seven bathers perished as the result
of a heavy oomber dragging them
into deep water.
Two men were drowned in the
Shrewsbury river near Atlantic High

was one drowning accident in Sussex
county and five others at coast and

by a wife and one child. Baer was a
leather worker employed at the shop
of George Stengel. Inc, on Freling-
huysen avenue. His home was 245
Nineteenth street He was unmar-
ried. He is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Jennie Mutchler, one brother
and four sisters.
Baer was one of a party of local
fishermen that left from Enzape,n
yesterday morning. The members
have their headquarters at Ulrich
Bauser's cafe. at S9l Frelinghuysen
avenue Their boat, the Nymph was
anchored about 300 feet off the end
of Sandy Hook, when Baer, about
2 o'clock, dived from the boat alo
struck out for the shore. He was seen
to suddenly disappear. The fishermen
Immediately raised anchor and with
three other fishing boats nearby hur-
ried to aid Baer. A number of
soldiers from Fort Hancock at Sandy
Hook, also put out in boats. The
efforts of the searchers were unavail-
ing as no trace of the missing man
could be found.
The Newarkers returned after
searching the spot for two hours
None of the party could account for
Bauer's action In LEAKING from the
boat except that he was tired of fish
ing and thought to take swim
without telling the fishermen because
they might object TO him disturbing
the fishing. Baer was steady in his
habits and was employed in the
japanning department of the Stengel
shop.
The fatality to Haushalter was an
indirect result of him changing his
