They covered at least half dozen in

was taken under consideration by the
department and the embassy at London
was called on for a report.
Thus far, it was SAID no reply has
been made TO any of the complaints.
IL was learned on high authority that,
in addition to these complaints, cases
were cited where other neutrals flags
have been flown by British merchant
men sent out, thus disguised TO comb

u was expected here that these
charges would figure prominently in
Germauy's reply 10 the latest American
note.
The theory was that Germany would
say that, while such methods are per
sisted in. IL will be impossible for Ger
man submarine commanders to observe
the ordinary usages of stoppage and

In this connection, the charge.
