INQUIRY SENT BY BRYAN

Publication Of Text of Two
Documents Sent to Great
Britain and Germany on
Commerce Produces Wide
spread Comment in Wash
ington's Official Circles
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., Feb. 12.-Ad-
ministration officials looked forward
to the receipt late to-day of prelimi-
nary advices from Ambassadors Page
and Gerard. at London and Berlin.
British and German officials toward
the two notes of warning against pos
sible menace to American lives and
vessels in the sea zones of war.
Publication of the text of the two
documents produced widespread COM
ment among officials, members of Con-
gress and diplomatists, most of whom
regarded them as the most emphatic
expression from the Washington gov
ernment on the conduct of belligerents
during the present war and presaging,
perhaps, further representations on
what seem to the American govern
ment violations of the rules of war
fare.
Germany was advised that the
United States would be constrained
to hold the imperial government to a
strict accountability" for such acts of
its naval authorities as might result
in the destruction of American vessels
or the loss of American lives and that
: IF such a deplorable situation should
arise" the American government would
take any steps it might be necessary
to take to safeguard American lives
and property"
To Great Britain the United States
pointed out the measure of respon-
sibility" which would seem to be inn
posed on the British government for
the loss of American vessels and lives
in case of an attack by German ma
val force" If England sanctioned the
general misuse of the American flag
by British vessels and thereby cast
doubt upon the valid character of neu-
tral ensigns.
