Washington Hopes Flag Incident
VIII Not Ne Repeated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The State De-
partment In preparing a statement 10
present to Great Britain, recording the
position OF this country in regard to
the use OF the United States nag by
ships of other nations for the purpose
OF evading an enemy, according to IN
formation given out here to-day.
The statement is not a protest against
the action of the Cunard steamship
Lusitania In flying the United States
flag to escape German submarines, since
there Is no basis for communication
OF that sort. no information that the
incident occurred as the result OF orders
by the British Government having been
received. II II merely an explanation
Of the reasons why this Government
feels that encouragement Of the use of
the flag by belligerent vessels VIII tend
to endanger bonafide American shipping
by lessening the value OF the American
flag as outward evidence OF the charac'
ter and nationality Of a vessel.
President Wilson recognizes the fact
that IL has long been customary for
vessel flying the colors of belligerent
to assume the flag Of neutral for the
purpose OF avertinG menace by an enemy
ship. There is nothing In the practices
OF international law nor In the maritime
record OF this country 10 warrant an

Government wishes to make plain 10
the British Government and all beilig-
ernt Governments that II cannot view
with complacency the practice under dis
cussion.
The extraordinary situation brought
about by the Lusitania incident Is held
to Justify this Government in presenting
statement to Great Britain. even be-
fore an announcement Of the position 20
he assumed by the United States In re-
gard 20 the establishment Of a war zone
about the British Isles by Germany,
which. in ordinary times, would be dealt
with first 1t Is known that Great Brit
ain Is sensitive on the subject OF the use
Of neutral flag and would prefer that
this country take no action OF any sort,

numerous conferences. TO inform Down

case In Washington.
The Administration reiterated to-day
It's intention to voice its View OF Amer
