REPLY FROM BRITAIN
|S0F GREAT LENGTH
Answer to American Note Concern.
ing Interference With Shipping
Being Received Here.

LONDON. February ~, 2:o7 p.m.-on
account of the great length of the
British governments reply to the
American note concerning British in
terference with American shipping, it
probably will be several days before
the text is available. The British and
American governments have agreed to
make the note public simultaneously,
but the entire communication has not
yet been coded for the cable. and can
not possibly be transmitted. translat..
ed from the code and be made ready in
Washington for publication for some
time yet.
The note is more than three times
the length of the communication to
which it Is reply. going into con-
traband controversies in great detail
During the last three weeks the only
case of seizure of alleged American
contraband Is that of the steamship
Wilhelmina. Apparently the British
government is making every effort to
expedite the delayed cargo SO as to
avoid friction with American shippers.
Consequently the grounds upon which
the American shipping note is based
are largely removed, insofar as recent
shipments are concerned.

Page and Gerard, at London and Ber-

tude of British and German officials
toward the two notes of warning
against possible menace to American
lives and vessels in the sea zones of
war.
Publication of the text OF the two
documents produced widespread COM
ment among officials, members of Con-
gress and diplomatists, most of whom
regarded them as the most emphatic
expression from the Washington gov
ernment on the conduct of belligerents
during the present war and presaging
perhaps, further representations on
what seem to the American govern

London Times So Comments
on Note Regarding
American Flag.
JOURNALS GENERALLY
CHARY OF COMMENT
Pail Mall Gazette Declares Use Of
Stars and Stripes Would Be in
Humanity's Interest.

LONDON. February 12.-The texts of
the American notes to Germany and
Great Britain concerning the possible
sinking of American ships and use of
the American flag have not yet reached
the London papers. which consequently
are generally chary of editorial COM
ment.
The Pail Mall Gazette. however, says
it will not be difficult to satisfy the
United States that in using the Amer
lean flag to defeat the intention of
German warships to torpedo merchant
men without warning. Great Britain is
acting not only in the national inter-
est, but in the interest of humanity
and civilization. There would be no
danger of American ships being sunk
if the German craft behave, as every
usage of war dictates and board the
ships they stop for an examination of
their papers"
Petition Use of Flag.
The Pail Mall Gazette directs atten-
ton to the fact that whilo the Ameri-
can government is making representa-
tions concerning the use of the Stars
and Stripes. American passengers are
petitioning the Cunard line to sail
under the American flag, so that they
may enjoy it's protection"
The Times, in an editorial on the
American note to Great Britain, says:
The fair and reasonable attitude
which America has observed in all the
problems raised by the war has
strengthened our customary desire to
respect not only her rights but her
wishes and susceptibilities.
Called Undoubted Right.
The use of a neutral flag to avoid
an enemy we regard as an undoubted
right, but a right which We are most
unlikely to exercise in a manner to
expose the shipping of neutral states
to serious peril or Inconvenience. I'm
der these circumstances and in view
tween the two nations a satisfactory
accommodation snould be promptly
and easily reached"
Lusitania Incident.
Dealing with the Lusitania incident
the Times considers it is explained by
the fact that the admiralty got wind
of Germany's intentions before they
were made known officially, and there
upon advised merchant shipping gen
orally to resort to a neutral nag in
case of necessity.
Thus" says the paper, the Lusi-
tania incident happened at a moment
when it was particularly likely to
cause discussion in America and afford
the Germans in the United States a
fresh opening.
There is no evidence that when the
admiralty advised the use Of neutral
flag matters had become SO urgent as
to override all other considerations, and
in a case of this kind the foreign ofhce
Is better judge than the admiralty
possibly can be. 1t seems to us that
even friendly communications with
America might have been avoided had
the admiralty and the foreign Office
worked in this matter more closely to-
gether."
