ON FLAG INCIDENT
High Officials Claim That

tpy Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The ad.
ministration view OF the hosting OF
the American flag on the British
steamship Lusitania as stated today
on the highest authority is that the
use Of other flags by ships of nations
at war is such a customary project
that no formal protest can be made,
but that 1t will be proper to send
Great Britain. a note pointing out the
danger to neutral shipping which may
follow II such a practice Is continued.
The President takes the view that
the war zone proclaimed by Germany
does not constitute a blockade, or
even q paper blockade. He stated
that It was simply "a warning. Tie
President himself said that action by
congress could not control the use of
the American flag by foreign ships,
and thatirestrictions on such practices
would have to come through iinterna.
tional agreement. rs "a
High officials apparently attach
much importance to both the Lusi-
tania and war zone situation, and It
was made clear: today that every effort
will be made to protect American
rights. President Wilson told callers
that up to the present no other neutral
governments. have officially asked the
cooperation of the United States.

CHARLESTON. ". Va, Feb. o.
The plan for rediotricting the state

fore the legislature. The state will
have six congressional districts In.
stead Of FIVE. The First district will
be slightly changed. Under tho plan
practically agreed upon Harrison and
Lewis will be taken from the First
district and Taylor substituted. This
will decrease the normal Republican
majority slightly, but will leave tho
district safely Republican under nor.

The senatorial redistricting plan has
also been considered, and Marion,
Preston and Taylor will be made one
district, while Monongalia will be plac.
ed in district with Wetzel and Mar;

increase the Republican majority In
the Marion district.
Joint committees from the house
and senate on redistrictlng decided to
recommend favorable action on the
plan Of redistricting the state as to
congressional districts, as embodied In
ia bill introduced in the house by Del
