anxiety as result of destructive

peril in the form OF floods. Every

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The threat
ened submarine blockade of the ports
of the British Isles is still an absorb
ing topic for English newspapers and
judging from dispatches reaching
here from the continent Germany is
equally interested.
The report that James w. Gerard,
the American ambassador, has been

sists that Washington should prevent
the use OF the American flag by
Great Britain and a strict observa-

time the Germans argue that subma.
rines cannot be expected to make q
search of hostile merchantmen be

The English press insists upon re-
garding the note to Germany as q
virtual ultimatum. It does not at
tempt to forecast Great Britain's re-
ply to the Washington communica-
tton regarding the use OF the Amer.
lean flag, but It does declare that
England cannot forego her claims to
the right to use neutral flag in case
Of necessity. An indication that
England is regarding the German
threat as something more than a
