Among reasons for encouragement,
Mr.. Farrell quoted eminent European

Of $1,000, 10000 year. 1.-THE years of

LUSITANIA TRICK
NOT UNCOMMON
United States and COntGderaGy
Did Same Thing.
LAW BLOCKED BY ROOSEVELT


lands Call at State Department.
Regard Attitude of Germany as
Very Menacing-U. S. Has Taken
no Action in Either Case.
WASHINGTON - Both the LuSl'
tania incident and the German naval
zone were much discussed at the
state department. Minister Rappard
of the Netherlands and Minister Brun
of Denmark called to learn the views
of the United States on the question
Of the naval zone. They were in
formed that this government has not
taken any position on either matter
and that there was nohing for it 10
communicate to other neutral govern
ments at this time. Representative
Flood of the house committee on for
eign affairs called on Secretary Bry-
az and the issue was discussed at
their conference.
1t was learned that the state de-
pdrtment has not yet received con-
firmation of the reports from Liver
pool that the Lusitania was speci1icat
" directed by the British admiralty
to fly the American flag in passin%
through danger zone. 1t is conceded,
however, that should it be established
that the British government did issue
such instructions either to the COM
E,ander of the Lusitania or to ship
masters generally, its action would
properly afford basis for inquiry on
part of the United States as to the
Justification and prOpriety of the GOV
eminent proposing such use Of Tbs
American flag.
United States Did Same Thing.
Inquiry among officials further tend
ed to show that not only has the
United States failed to enact any leg
islation or take any position diplomat
icalIy covering the exact case of the
Lusitania, but that the practice has
been generally countenanced as q
Iuse de guerre and more or less to De
expected in war. American war Shirs
and merchant ships have frequently
adopted an alien flag for purposes OF
deception in time of war and have
teen deceived by enemy vessels using
the same device The confederates
Used this ruse in the civil war AM

slipped past the federal war ships at
Mobile under the British flag
Roosevelt Once in Way.
In 1900, it was proposed by naval
board headed by Admiral Stockton
that the use of the American flag be
absolutely prohibited to vessels hay-
ing no right to it. At the direction
Of President Roosevelt, however, his
attention having been called to the
great prevalency of the practice in
American and foreign shipping, the
rule never became a part of the Unit
ed States regulation.
Regard German Threat Serious.
Both the Danish and Netherlands
ministers indicated to officials Of the
state department that they regard the
German admiralty decree with rs
threats of destruction of neutral ships
as a very serious matter. They have
not been authorized, however, to sug-
gest joint action by the United States
aEG other neutrals in the mater. 1t
is understood that the state depart
ment does not in any event contem-
plate action jointly in whatever step
it may decide to take.
