CREWS AND CARGOES
DOOMED In GERMAN
ZONE" "SAYS JAGOW
Kaiser Foreign Secretary
Warns Neutrals T h a t
Their Ships Are Endan-
gered in Prescribed Area.

BERLIN. Feb. 10.-Gottlieb Won Jagow'
German Foreign Secretary, explained the
nature Of the recently announced German
naval measures to be taken against nos
tile commercial shipping, over which ne
said there seemed to be some misappre-
hension.
1.-THE announcement of February OF
Admiral Won Pohl, chief of the Admiralty
stan, was not declaration OF block-
ade," said Herr Won Jagow. "All ques-
tlons as to its validity promised on this
theory therefore are excluded The Ad-
miralty proclamation by designation or
waters around Great Britain and Ireland
as a war area announces Germanys IN
tention to conduct war operations In this
region, and particularly to destroy COM
mercial ships of the enemy.
ENGLAND months ago declared In simi-
lar fashion the whole of the North sea
a war area German warships heretofore
have destroyed merchant ships belonging
to the enemy only when there was every
certainty that their passengers and crew
could get away safely. But In future this
forbearance must be subordlnated TO
military considerations now that Eng
land by measures inadmissible under In
ternational laws, has paralyzed neutral
commerce with Germany in an attempt
to force upon the German civilian popu-
latlon death by starvation.
Anyhow hostile merchantmen have no
claim to consideration, II, as in part al
ready has been the case, they are armed
or offer resistance to the German naval
forces Since the British Admiralty on
January 81 instructed British merchant
men to use neutral flags, neutral ships,
even without taking into consideration
the unavoidable accidents of war, run
the risk OF being mistaken for hostile
merchant ships and of falling victims
to attacks intended for these ships
Neutral shipping can, therefore. only
be urgently warned again, as In the ear
lier announcements, to avoid the indi-
Gated war zone until further notice."

BRITISH UNEASY ON NICKEL
SHIPMENTS THROUGH U. S.
Reported That Large Supplies Are
Reaching Germany.

LONDON, Feb. 10-The British Foreign
ONCE has Just been advised that the
Canadian government has taken steps to
prevent nickel produced in the Dominion
from finding it's way into Germany
through the United States. For some
time the Canadian government has been
criticised for allowing nickel to be ex-
ported through the United States to Ger
many, where 1t is used in the manufac-
ture of nickel steel for armor plate and
many kinds of war munitions. After
complaint had been made the Dominion
government employed an expert account
ant to watch the books of the New York
company concerned In the nickel trade to
see that no shipments were made which
could possibly find their way into Ger
man hands, In addition, the British rep
resentative In New York will exercise
considerable control over the nickel in
dustry. The chief company producing
nickel is owned by American capital. AL
though Canada figures so prominently In
supplying the world with nickel, Il has
neither nickel refneries nor nickel steel
mills OF its own. the raw material being
sent to Wales or New York to be refined.

ANOTHER CUNARDER
HOSTS US. FLAG TO
ESCAPE SUBMARINE
Orduna Reaches New York
After Flying False Colors,
Evading German U-2l
OFF Liverpool.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.--A second In
stance of the holsting OF the American
| flag by British ships in fear OF German
submarines was brought to light today
when the Cunard liner Orduna arrived
here from Liverpool. The Orduna, which
left Liverpool on January 81, hoisted the
American flag shortly after she had de-
parted from her moorng. The American
flag was kept UP until the orduna ar
rived or Queenstown, when the British
ensign was once more run up.
News of the use OF the American flag
on the Orduna was given out by H. T.
Strong and James Ford, of Lynn, Mass.
who were passengers aboard the vessel
1t was on Saturday, January 81, the day
that the Orduna sailed, that the big Ger
man submarine U-2l torpedoed and sunk
three steamships Off Fleetwood to the
north of Liverpool. The first OF these ves-
sells to be sunk, the Ben Cuachen, was
sent to the bottom just about the time
that the Orduna turned her nose out OF
the Mersey into the Irish Sea At that
time the Orduna was flying her mail pen
nant and tho Union Jack A wireless
message was received and hurried to the
captain, who, the passengers say, was then
on the bridge. Shortly afterward the
British flag was hauled down and the
American flag hosted.
Several of the passengers declared that
members of the crew had told them that
the captain had been warned by the
British Admiralty that there were num-
ber of German submarines cruising not
only In the Irish Sea, but also off the
coast of Ireland, and that he was to take
all precautions TO protect his ship and
his malls.
The Cunard Line issued a statement
this afternoon admitting that the Orduna
had flown the American flag upon leaving
Liverpool, and had kept 1t holsted until
after leaving Queenstown. 1t denied.
however, the story that the flag had been
flown at the orduna's stern. The state
ment follows:
THE American flag at no time was
raised at the stern OF the Orduna. After
leaving Liverpool the American flag was
raised on the foremost mast top to indl-
cate that the vessel was sailing for the
United States. The flag was kept up
until after leaving Queenstown. 1t was
again raised on entering this port this
The report that the flag was
raised at the stern of the vessel Is simply
passenger talk"

PARIS, Feb. 10.
The latest bombardment OF Rheims by
the Germans, which began late last week,
has resulted in only two casualties, a
mother and her 12-year-old son being
killed.
Bombs were dropped into the city on
Saturday, but the inhabitants were much
interested to note that the devastation
wrought by these bombs was much less
than was caused by the preceding ones.
From this they came to the conclusion
that the bombs were badly made.
