British Reply to American
Note Is Received at
Washington
Full
Leased Wire
Dispatches

Washington, Feb. 2O,--The United
States government intends to stand
firm in its determination that Germany
shall not harm American lives or com.
merce in the war zone
Official information to this effect
was given the United Press here this
afternoon Charges and counter charges
in the Englsh.German hunger war
shoild not swerve the United States
from its present firm stand, one Of the
highest government officials in Wash
ington declared this afternoon.
The admitted real danger lies in the
fact that the United States may be.
come involved in the arguments being
hurled back and forth by Germany and
England. 1t was also pointed out that
serious trouble is possible as result Of
America s insistence in maintaining its
dign ty and rights, II was contended,
aowever that America will be eontin.
ually embarrassed unless It now takes
firm and calm position.
Botn Germany and England, It was
pointed out, are attributing their ad.
mitted violations of international law
to each Others alleged overt acts, but
this does not affect America s rights.
IF the government" said an of.
tleiaI here today, "permits such eonten.
tions to alter her stand, she ultimately
might be ruled off Of the seas. For this
reason / believe the United States
should not answer the English and Ger.
man notes. "
He held that tae British note was un.
answorable, because England was with.
IN her lawful rights in flying the Amer.
lean flag on her ships as precaution.
ary measure. lie claimed the Germans
by destroying American commerce
would be exceeding their rights, and
believed that a further reply to Ger
many would either commit the United
states to weakened position or a
virtual threat Of war.
The same authority also argued thai
America should not be too specific In
its intention to hold Germany to "strltt
accountability" SOME circumstances
he pointed out, might warrant stronger
retaliation than Others. Hence, he de
clared, the United States should merel,
maintain the position assumed in n
original decisions.

Of the crew was not known.
