London-The British replies to the
American notes on the use of the
American flag by the Cunard line
steamer Lusitania and the decision to
hold the cargo of the American
steamer Wilhelmina to prize court
were delivered to Walter Hines Page,
the American ambassador. Friday.
The notes make clear that while
there is no intention to resort to the
use of neutral flags generally, Great
Britain thinks that neutral countries
should not begrudge her ships this
privilege in view of Germany's threat
to destroy sea commerce. and further
in view of the latest German policy OF
sea warfare, Great Britain contemp'
lates declaring all foodstuffs to Ger
many absolute contraband. Both notes
are of conciliatory character.
That in reference to the use of the
American flag points out that the
United States resorted to the use OF
the British flag during the civil war,
and that If Germany follows the usual
custom of ascertaining definitely the
nationality OF ships stopped by her war
ships no damage can be done to neu'
trail vessels.
The detention of the Wilhelmina's S
cargo. which is to be sent to prize
court. is justified on the ground that
Germany has placed all grain and
flour in the empire under government
control.
As yet Great Britain has not def
nitely announced her promised retalia'
tory measures against the German sub
marine blockade which so far has -e-
suited in the torpedoing by German
submarines OF two vessels-the French
steamer Dinorah off Dieppe and the
Norwegian tank steamer Belrldge near
FolEstone.
Both of these vessels made port
Some Danish vessels were unable 10

their crews 10 move them. This i'm
pediment was overcome Friday, how.

London. - A German submarine
Saturday morning and torpedoed.
without notice, the British coasting
steamer Cambank OF 1890 tons regis
ter. Three OF the crew were killed
and fourth was drowned while the
men We're taking TO the boats.
This incident was the only one con-
nected with the German submarine
blockade OF the British Isles reported
Saturday. It came about the same
time that the Anglo-French fleets
were bombarding the Dardanelles
forts and while the Russians. accord
ing TO a telegram received from Petro-
grad. were administering n defeat to
the Germans at Ossowetz. and driving
back TO the frontier the troops which
had attacked that fortress.
In the meantime the battles on the
Continent continue, with eyer.increas-
ing Intensity. The offensive. which
the allies took early last week. has
brought about renewed activity all
along the line. and attacks and coun-
terattacks have become much more
numerous.
Both the British and the French
seemingly made considerable progress
at the. outset of the offensive opera
tions. and this made It imperative for
the Germans TO deliver counter attacks
to regain the ground which they had
lost.
CettinIo has been again visited by
an Austrian aeroplane, which dropped
