!. 8. WARNS GREAT BRITAIN
AND GERMANY.

Washington, Feb. 11.-The United
States has warned Great Britain that
general use of the American flag by
British vessels would be viewed with
grave concern here and has notified
Germany that destruction by her of
any American vessel in the newly
prescribed war zone would led tc
serious complications.
1t became known today that the
text of the two notes sent last night
to Great Britain and Germany ex-
pressed much more emphatically than
generally was believed the displeas-
ure of the United States at flying Of
neutral Gags by British merchant
men, and it's solicitude over the inn
plication that neutral vessels were
liable to destruction by German sub
marines in the waters around Gseat
Britain and ireland.
Germany Told Serious
Trouble Will Follow.
In the note sent Ambassador Ger
ard for presentation to the German
foreign Office there is a friendly but
pointed statement that American
vessels should have free and unre-
stricted passage through the high
seas and unblockaded waters, and
that destruction of an American yes
sci might lead to a change in the
hitherto friendly relations which
have existed between the United
States and Germany.
Representations in the note to
Great Britain are not based on the
Lustiania incident, but on the state
ment Of the British foreign Office
justifying use Of neutral flags by its
vessels. The United States unequiv-
ocally states it is understood that
practice would be highly dangerous
to neutral vessels, and would be
viewed with the deepest anxiety here.
The text of the two notes are ex-
pected to be published by the state
department tomorrow. Among dip
lomats here the fact that the O. s.
had taken pronounced stand Great
ed q profound impression.
No joint representations with the
U. s. on the same subjects have been
made by any OF the neutrals, al
though their ministers here have con-
suited the American government as
to it, atdtude.
