FRIENDLY C0MMU NlCAT|0NS TO
GERMANY AND Great BRITAIN

Washington, Feb. 10.-The United
States government today sent a note
to Great Britain making friendly OBJ
servations on the use by British ships
Of neutral flags and at the same time
dispatched a communication to Ger
many inquiring what steps would be
taken by German naval commanders
TO verify the identity of ships flying
neutral flags in the recently proclaim
Cd zones Of war around England and
Ireland. While the Lusitania incident
is not mentioned, the representations
TO Great Britain are based on the
statement of the British foreign office
justifying the use of neutral flags by
her merchantmen to escape capture.
The American government points out
that continued use of this strategem
might cast doubt On the character OF
vessels really entitled to fly the Amer
lean flag and produce dangers to
which neutral ships should not be
subjected on the high seas and in un-
blockaded waters.
In the note to Germany, it Is I'M
derstood that the United States asked
how the German admiralty proposed
to carry out in practice its recent
proclamation Of a war on merchant
ships and it's warning that on account
Of the misuse of neutral flags by bel
ligerent vessels, neutral ships could
not always be distinguished when an
attack was made.
Submarine Possibilities
The introduction Of the submarine
into warfare produces a situation not
covered by an existing declaration of
international law, but the United
States has made it clear, it is under
stood that an attack on vessel flying
the American flag without first ascer-
tanning definitely that such use was
fictitious, could not but be viewed
gravely by the American government
and bring about serious complications.
The United States has not fully ex
pressed itself on the German procla-
nation, however. combining itself for
the present to an inquiry for more in
formation on which future representa-
tions may or may not be based. There
is no evidence as yet, for example, that
any American ship will be threatened.
for German naval commanders may
have q complete list and description
Of such vessels, making it possible TO
rive assurances that no American ship
will be molested. The communication
merely seeks to learn more definitely
with what hazards the American ships
might be confronted il passing through
the newly prescribed sea zones and
what steps will be taken by the Ger
man navy to give unrestricted pas
sage to American vessels travelling
through the waters.
Both notes. to be presented by the
American ambassadors at London and
Berlin, are brief and couched in friend
ly spirit. Neither makes protest. but
