NEUTRAL SHIPS
TIMELY WARNED
German Newspapers Declares Their Dc
struction Is ''Fairly Certain" But
Declares They Have Had Proper
Notification of Consequences

Berlin, Feb. 16, By Wireless to Say
ville.-The commencement of opera
tions in the waters designated by the
German government as war zone IS
awaited here with the greatest eager
ness, as well as with much curiosity. 1t
appears likely, however, that it will be
some days after February Is, before
any news is received. Indeed, the "Ger-
MANIA in an article which is reprint
ed by the chord Deutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung,' says it may be ten or fifteen
days before the public is informed on
the subject. 1t warned its readers not
to place credence in rumors, but rather
to wait for official reports, which will
be based on reports from commanders
of submarines.
Neutrals to Be Destroyed
The Germania" considers the pos
sbility that neutral ships will be de-
stroyed as "fairly certain" but de-
clares that they have had proper
warning. There are no indications as to
the tone of the German note in reply
to the American representations, which
may be delivered to-day.
The newspapers give much space to
the German victory in East Prussia,
whose most pleasing feature, from the
Berlin viewpoint is that it virtually
clears the province of hostile. forces.

WHAT NOTES OF PROTEST
MEAN IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
TO ENGLAND.

We have noted the Lusi-
tania incident wherein the
captain -Rew the American
flag.
Likewise we have con-
sidered the British foreign
Offices defense Of such use.
Hence we wish to point
out the serious consequences
that may result for American
vessels and citizens If this
practice is continued.
Occasional use Of a neutral
flag to escape pursuit by an
enemy is far different from
constant use. The latter would
jeopardize neutral shipping.
This Government, there
fore, views with grave con-
cern" and anxious solici-
tude' such misuse of the
American flag, in view Of
Germany's announced inten-
ton to raid vessels in war
zones around England. More
over, the United States
trusts" England will restrain
such misuse.
Danger to Americans would
seem TO impose a measure
of responsibility on Eng
land.

TO GERMANY.

We wish to eail to your at
tention the critical situation
Of relations between the
United States and Germany
which would follow should
Germany, in pursuance Of
her war zone order, destroy
American lives or commerce.
Further, we wish to remind
Germany of the we'll estab-
lished principle that a bellig-
erent's rights toward a neutral
on the high seas consist solely
of right Of visit and search,
except when a blockade is de-
clared and effectively main
tanned.
No blockade, however, is
proclaimed in this instance.
This Government wishes
respectfully" to remind Ger
many that the United States
has been guilty of no un-
neutral act, such as Germany
complains about in her ex-
planatory message.
The United States would
consider an attack upon or
destruction of an American
ship as an "indefensible viola

LONDON, Feb. 12.-That the United States intends
to protect fully all of her rights and privileges is the con-
sructon today placed the American notes to Germany
and Great Britain.
Although the complete text reached here too late for
extensive comment by the morning papers, there is no
question that the vigorous language used in both conmn

asking for official information that the British foreign Office
has sanctioned the misuse of neutral flags"
AS matter of fact the ma ority of Englishmen are
arguing that naSnuch as England has always allowed the
use of her flag by merchantmen seeking to evade cap

note not accompanied by the present strong language used
in the note to Germany, it believed it would arouse
severe irritation.
