WASHINGTON Fsv. 1.-THE
United States has warned Great
Britain and Germany. respectively,
that general use of the American flag
by British vessels would be viewed
with grave concern here and that the
destruction by Germany Of any Amer
Jean vessel in the newly prescribed

plications.
It became known today that the
text Of the two notes sent last night
to Great Britain and Germany ex-
Ipressed much more emphatically
than had Dssn generally known the
dispieasure of the United States at
the use Of neutral flags by British
msrchaptmen and its solicitude over
the implication that neutral vessels
were liable to destruction by German
submarines in the waters around
Greet Britain and ireland.
Pointed warning to Kaiser
In the document which mas been trans
mftted 10 Ambassador Gerard at Berlin
for presentation TO the German Foreign
office, there u a friendly but pointed
statement that American vessels should
Have free and unrestricted passage
through the high seas and unhlockaded
waters. and that destruction Of an Amer,
lean vessel might lead to a change in tho
hitherto friendly relations which have
existed between the United States and
Germany. al
While in the note TO Great, Britain the
representations made are not based on
the Lusitania incident. but on the state-
ments OF the British Foreign office justi-
flying the use of neutral flags by its ves-
sells. the United States has stated un-
sduivocslly. 1t Il understood, that a con-
d.. tinuanoe OF the practice would be highiS
dangerous to neutral vessels and would
be viewed with the deepest anxiety here
