Great Britain making friendly obseva
lions on the use by British ships of
neutral flags and at the same time
dispatched communication to Ger
many inquirying what steps would be
taken by German naval commanders
to verify the identity OF ships flying
neutral flags in the recently pro
claimed zones of war around England

mentioned, the representations to
Great Britain are based on the state

ships ought not be subjected on the

to carry out in practice its present
proclamation Of war on merchant
ships and its warning that on account
