UNITED STATES
SENDS WARNING

Washington, Feb. 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
consequences and that the destruc-
ton by Germany of any American
vessel in the newly prescribed war
zone would lead to serious complica-
tions.
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 had been generally known, the
displeasure of the United States at
the use Of neutral flags by British
merchantmen and its solicitude over
the implication that neutral vessels
were liable to destruction by Ger
man submarines in the waters around
Great Britain and Ireland.
In the document which has been
transmitted to Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin for presentation to the Ger
man foreign Office there is a friend
ly but pointed statement that Amer.
lean vessels should have free and un-
restri:ted 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.
While In the note to Great Britain
the representations made are not
based on the Lusitania incident but
on the statement OF the British for.
eign office justifying the use OF neu
trail flags by its vessels, the United
States has stated unequivocally. II
is understood, that a continuance OF
the practice would be highly danger
Gus TO neutral vessels and would be
viewed with the deepest anxiety
here.
Profound Impression on Diplomats
The texts OF the two document
are expected to be published by thu
state department tomorrow. Amoni
diplomatists here the fact that tn,
United States has taken pronounc
ed stand created profound impress
sion.
No joint representations with tn
United States on the same subject
have been made by any of the net
tra's, though the various foreign Of
fees, through their ministers here
have consulted the American go,
eminent as to its attitude.
