MAKES No PROMISE
As TO USE Of FLAG
WILL NOT ADVISE RAISING NEU.
TRIAL CoIORs, BUT MAY DO SO
TO ESCAPE DESTRUCTION.

London, Feb. ia.--The British for
ieIgn office issued this evening it's reply
Ito the American note % February IL,
concerning the use OF the United States
flag by British mercantile vessels. The
document shows that the Government
will not bind itself to guarantee thai
neutral flags will not be employed in
he future under the same circum-
stances as attended the Lusitania case
that gave rise to the protest from
Washington.
The reply states. however. that the
British government has no intention
of advising merchant shipping to use
foreign flags as general practice
or to resort to them except for. the
purpose of escaping capture or de-
strucfion. It declares also that IL the
obligation of visit and search Is not
adhered to and neutral ships are sunk
without regard to the dictates of in
tternational law and humanity. the
onus for such action Will rest upon the
government ordering tint such obliga-
ton should be disregarded.
If this obligation upon e belligerent
warship liz met. the note says the
hoisting of a neutral flag aboard a
British vessel cannot possibly en-
danger neutral shipping.
Was Used to Save Ilfe.
The reason for the use of the
American nag by the Lusitania on her
recent voyage from New York to Liv-
erpool was. the note states. TO save
the lives OF noncombatants crew and
passengers" II Is also set forth that
American passengers embarking on
the Lusitania on her return voyage
10 New York asked that the United
States flag ne hoisted. but that the
British government did not give any
advice to tho company as TO how to
meet this occasion. and that the LII
sitania left Liverpool under the Brit.
